No need to, it’s a bit weird. For Firefox there seem to be two ways, one is via custom search engine and the other would be via add-on.
I am not entirely sure how to do it via custom search engine, as FF seems to want it with a wildcard %s for the search term and lite ddg doesn’t seem to put it into the URL, but probably somewhere else.
Just visit the landing page, right click on the address bar and select ‘Add DuckDuckGo’ option at the bottom. Then go to your search settings and select DuckDuckGo Lite from the drop down.
Huh. I did not know you could do that, I was trying to figure out how to add it in the settings. I’ve been helped by the other kind internet stranger but this is valuable knowledge too, thank you.

Firefox. I feel a bit stupid right now because I can’t figure this out.

Ahh, the wildcard was what stumped me. Thank you, works like a charm!

Yeah, it working with post confused me as well. But a quick inspection worked wonders, haha
