DuckDuckGo

Post by uncle »

(Firefox 18.0.1)

Hello -
Trying to install DuckDuckGo but when I hit Download a popup says “…I need a Mozilla based browser"

SInce I'm on Firefox I obviously have the browser. Confused.

There are several reports of this problem in the Mozillazine forums. Some versions of Firefox apparently have a problem with open-source search engines. Does it work if you first update Firefox to the current version (23.0.1)?
Best wishes,
Hans

According to the developer, the problem lies with Firefox, not DuckDuckGo, so I fear there's no solution at the moment.
Best wishes,
