Duck Duck Go search from the address bar suddenly does not work. All queries return a page with the search box and no results. Google search functions correctly. Additionally, the search function on Yahoo Finance no longer functions. Both of these websites and functions work on a mobile version of Firefox connected to the same wifi. At first I had no idea what was causing it but after using troubleshooting mode and turning on extensions one at a time it turns out that metamask was causing the error.

Whenever we use google on Firefox and search for anything it redirects to this "play.google.com/log?hasfast=true&authuser=0&format=json" There is only one extension and it is our webfilter that is blocking google play. What would cause all of our regular google searches to redirect to the playstore? The extension is up to date on the latest version and this happens on all computers in our domain.

Google is a suggested search engine, as soon as I move my cursor below the main search bar. I looked up how to remove a suggested search engine: menu->settings->search->check a selected search engine to remove. I followed those steps until I got to the search engine selection; google was NOT a checked search engine. Anybody have ideas I can try? I use win10, with duckduckgo as my default search.
