my search engine changed from duckduckgo to yahoo.

It's conceivable I somehow missed that check box on installing on this new laptop back in May but isn't like my usual paranoid self.  I realized something was amiss when Facebook started giving me ads for things I'd searched for in Firefox when Facebook wasn't active.
