How to use Firefox with Search DuckDuckGo service?

In System preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services > Search


I have an item called Search with DuckDuckGo. I don't know if everyone has this item or it is something I added myself a long time ago. This item enables me to search the internet using DuckDuckGo with the current text selection using a keyboard shortcut. I use this option a lot.


But the search occurs in Safari while by favorite browser is Firefox. Can I edit the script of this command to make it work with my current favorite browser of Firefox instead? I don't where the script is located on my machine.


Note that my interface is in French and that I am translating what I see in English so my translation may not be exact.

I created a new Quick Action in Automator as a zsh script:


/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -search $(</dev/stdin)


It is work well but it is opening a new window instead of using the current one. I've assigned a keyboard shortcut.
