 Replying to [comment:11 mcs]:
 > The original reporter may have been asking for something more
 sophisticated though: when the user changes their default search engine,
 the about:tor page should use it (which is how things work for
 about:home).

 Maybe? I was actually not aware of that feature (seems I used Firefox a
 long time ago/not in that way). I've opened #21218 for that.

 Commit 5047691041679494ff17a2258e2721e7200a91a2 on Torbutton `master` has
 the fix that got reviewed.
