[Roxy.music]

DuckduckGo not letting me search the web with Firefox .See photo .I deleted Firefox and reinstated it ,the same thing happendI have no trouble with DUCKDUCKGO on Brave.Why does it say it can,t connect with DuckDuckGo with Firefox, when it works with Google?Another problem Spectacle not working on Brave or Firefox?I have sorted the Spectacle problem out by using Rectangle when looking for a situation to sort out Spectacle .i have never heard of Rectangle before.Has anyone got the answer to sort out DuckDuckGo working with Firefox?It seems a weird problem.

I have the same problem as this with Firefox on Android and firefox on linux. Clearly duckduckgo have done something in the last hour or two to break this. I hope they fix it rather than just leave their suggestions to use a different browser!
