macOS NNW browser setting doesn't work as expected after replacing browser

I have NNW set to open links in DuckDuckGo browser via Settings > Browser. I recently deleted the App Store version of DDG and installed from a dmg directly from their site. Now, with the same NNW settings, my links open in Safari.

I’ve tried changing the settings to Safari and to System Default, then back to DDG, but it still always opens links in Safari.

If I change my system default browser to DDG, then both the System Default and DDG choices in Settings > Browser work, but as soon as I change my system default browser back to Safari, links continue opening in Safari even with DDG set as the browser choice.

Does anyone know of anything I can try on my end to fix this? Thanks!

I’m using NNW 7.0.5 (Build 7054) on Macbook Air 15.7.3

This is now working again after updating to version 7.0.6 (Build 7059)!

Great — thanks for the confirmation!
