meh! I just want the ability to set to a different search engine, not find what seems to behave like a virus and takes over my browser.

(I just switched to 4 for the following reason below)

You can make Qwant your default Firefox browser without installing the extension by navigating to the Qwant site. Clicking the search box icon will allow you to add Qwant as a search engine and make it the default if you like.

This works. It gives me the option to make qwant my search engine and is customizable without hard-wiring any preferences.

Why on;y 4? It seems a tad slow. If this is because the sites are in europe, I would accept that. I am not sure at this time.
