Firefox 126.0 on a Windows 10 22H2
Hi
I have been using Firefox maybe for 20 years... and I noticed in the last possibly 5 years has started to have problems after problems. More like bothers and I am not the only one!
Problems with YouTube videos either not loading properly or no audio and so on, tamed down at present!
At some point I stopped using it years ago, then got back to it, but since I did a series of different things/work via browsers, I now have some others set to do one task/work.
Firefox is not only the ;standard browser for 'browsing' and basic shopping.
Anyway, this time from yesterday, DuckDuckGo Search not working any more.
There have not been any Windows or Security updates yesterday.
Any other search add-on works fine, but DuckDuckGo.
What I did:
1. Restarted browser - the obvious one
2. I do not really need to clear Cookies as I use an add on that does it for me as soon as I close a tab or browser
3. Downloaded 126.0 and re-installed it on top
4. No new add-ons were installed, but IU also re-started with all add-ons off
5. Cleared history - everything
6. Internet is fine, reset it - just in case, but also tested on other devices and DuckDuckGo works fine
7. My security is not blocking anything
Has Firefox 126.0 had an heart attack overnight, meaning there is a bug that comes out in certain conditions?
I just get from DuckDuckGo:
There was an error displaying the search results. Please try again.
Any other Search work, even the less known such as Qwant and Mojeek.
No idea.
I wasted so much time... again.
Thank you
M
PS I may have missed other things I did try and I may amend this post or add posts, if I cannot edit.
