Search does not start in onion mode

Using Linux and Tor browser 14.5 when Duckduckgo onion is selected and Tor browser is restarted the onion switch remains turned off instead of on. Why would a non onion search be the default?

I have noticed, using DDG’s .onion site, that it’s very hit and miss. I don’t think they have any load balancing on their tor → search data path. I suspect their internal data path sends the tor searches to one search node. I don’t know how many searches one of their nodes can handle, but I find I am constantly getting search errors on the .onion that go away when I use the normal site.
