I am having trouble adding searx public instances as search engine. Firefox Beta for Android tells me it can't connect to searx (searx.info for example) while I can navigate directly to it and use it just fine.

I am using a custom preferences URL like this: https://searx.info/?preferences=eJx1Vcuu4zYM_Zp6Y6TozCy68qIPtDNAgTvoTbsVaIl2WEuih5KT6_n6Ukns2Ol0EQOiKPKcw0csZOxZCFPTY0QBX3mI_QQ9NhgPv_9cebbgy6GCKbPlMHrM2PTMvceKgnqaUfhtbo4yYRUwn9g1n19ej1WCDhOC2FPzQ5VPGLDhZEEqwTT5nAxHE_FiMrTNb-ATVo7J6CX7M0rDoMfvWfrq-uqQ8qxAPPdk2eH54ECGylGC1qMzGHuKSqOkozPWlIy5U_ru_S8wDnUgERZjKKthimn0kE56LBSSmjqhOBDYjclae8hnY87kkIvh3dvmNs4AxnTkr6cLDZk4gszbxHEM94w3xWrNOteBzyr5Jq4-VvQXNZWvGk7QCpTP_XVxSDyJxW10RzZ_5bizCTpHeQ2EwhdyW4d3Hz78-LbJrVoSxAySN9wGsgOkLcQb2_XYCWKduMsXEKwdCdrMhfsV7gJijRfmgEHv6ywQk9e222Ga4cT8LRaJLYGvAzqCUkfbqwpPwmmzJMo72TMPM2dOJx4gGhOmRPapBjCO6VG9nrKHdikVotYylApdz25yGHe6T3Yov57rG8MNU8xz4OhpXxWKW_Ge4G1aiFrmYde6Z4b_12HN-hRxzYSZ2e_irZVdsib8GiHspuUefYvry8R532dTO_cYFo0C_6OqbR06J1w67yFxr6MKKW-dWsqtCon5HubWZU8jtpRvwbWcZ4gO37bhdkNWvB7OK-_F0AkE8NQK3nMnRDciyka-h2lhwSNGwZF3Ai5OS-hrV_JcduMGXMml66EulrTfT7c1WfZaXT4FUIVxv9mc62uHHUUqe2b33E4iGO38Xym-NVMPy5eLDv5qeCzT0U-aMzUvStbctrXRjh7Wld3qVknKWFd3UeBvCgdPA5oT5wHntGJfAh0FtMhi_vrzD42n6w9Fn72i78yn2LEEuHJS28fj8fOr-lyEMl59ijIlr739V80moddlo3dXeD9Zi1rWX18-bV5p0KITmmSFva90PFBh_Au1tp44&q=%s
