Firefox will not let me go to duckduckgo.com
When I am using the firefox browser and I click on a link to take me to duckduckgo.com or I enter duckduckgo.com in the url line and hit enter, instead of taking me to the duckduckgo website I get a white page with the message: Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).
