Firefox defaults to MapQuest when a map link is pressed

This seems to be a recent issue. Normally, when I click a link for a map (such as "get directions" for a business,) the map will be rendered in Google Maps. This is good for my use, because I'm looking for Latitude/Longitude and distances, and this is easy in Google Maps. However, the maps now default to MapQuest. I'm not finding any setting in the browser to change that.

Can you help? This problem has sent me back to using Chrome.

Thank you,

Ben

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

ZeroKnight, Yes, it's happening in Troubleshooting Mode, but I don't believe this is a Firefox problem. It appears to be a DuckDuckGo search engine problem. I just tested this by going to Google from Firefox and doing the same map searches. It worked.

I'll mark this as solved. Thank you Ben

DuckDuckGo uses Apple Maps for me.
