Firefox Community Forum

I use Firefox as my default browser. When I click on a link in my apple mail it doesn't appear but when I right click to check the Firefox icon, it shows that a window should be open (call it mystery window). In the photo it's the "Settings". I cannot seem to access it. (It used to be that if I clicked it, it would open.) If I right click the icon I can open a new Firefox window but the one I originally tried to open still does not appear. That's how I opened this page. If I've opened a new window and I right click and select "Show all Windows" I can see the original window but I still cannot access it. I've tried quitting Firefox and shutting down my computer but when I restart my computer the Firefox icon still shows that the mystery window should be open. Still cannot access it.

This is a fairly new problem that started sometime in the last few months. i have an Apple computer.

I have noai.duckduckgo.com set as my default search engine. Almost always (but not quite every time) when I type anything into the address/search bar, I get a page with a "Server Not Found" error. (See attached image.) Refreshing the page immediately brings up the results without issue, but I consistently get the error first.

Oddly, if I go into settings and switch to a different search engine and then switch back to duckduckgo, the issue will briefly resolve and it'll work fine for a short while... and then I start getting the error again.

Is there any way to fix this?
