DuckduckGo not letting me search the web with Firefox .See photo .I deleted Firefox and reinstated it ,the same thing happend😵I 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!
