Hiya, yes, I did that just now. And I got the same error. The DDG search via address bar/ddg website works on edge... It's just not working on Firefox...

Well, what I would do next is probably use that URL with something like wget or curl (a much simpler HTTP client basically).

Usually redirect errors are not caused by the browser because the browser is almost not involved at all in redirects, it just calls the URL returned by the server in the Location header.

Will wget/curl help, since DDG seems to work in Edge?

Suddenly I have a bad feeling its some Add-on which is blocking, probably. Let me try and isolate it...
