As it says in the subject title. After performing a search and executing it. A new tab opens that displays about:blank. This occurs everytime an serach is performed the first time when opening Firefox. My current home page is set to Yahoo.com but will happen using any search engine.

When the tab is closed and the search is initiated again on the initial page. The search results populate. This is persistent and repeatable. This has happened since the previous update from the current version 149.0,2 on a Windows 11 pc.

The same thing happens on another pc that I use. And started happening without any prior glitches.

I have hased this question with no response since noticing the issue using the previous version.

Also. I have tried online suggestions to repair the issue with no positive results.

Needing a rapid fix.

suddenly a month after going to windows 11 when i go to firefox home page and try to search for something it loads a clean page but never goes to the page after I have hit enter. Causes me to go back to search page and then hit magnify icon to get to page I am looking for. This causes an extra stroke and is causing me to think about a new home page rather than firefox. Any help would be appreicated.

When I bring up my firefox browser, DuckDuckGo has taken over the search/address bar even though it shows that I'm still on Firefox's browser page. I thought I fixed the problem, but it came back. I'm not opposed to DuckDuck, but I should be able to stick with Firefox. Thanks for any solution you can recommend.

Firefox just updated a few days ago to version 149.0. Prior to, no issues. Now every time I enter a search term and hit enter. A new tab opens and the page is blank. It only happened after the update. Closing the tab and doing the same thing again opens a new page correctly.
