why does firefox NOT open the link that i enter; it changes some of the parameters. The particulars: When i am on the Bing homepage (image of the day) and click on the link to go to the associated quiz, Firefox takes me to an information page of the subject, not the quiz page. Even when I modify the link that should take me there, it still goes to an information page, no quiz. I get my modified link from other browsers that do open the quiz for the day page. bing link: https://www.bing.com/search?q=reindeer&form=hpcapt&filters=HpDate:"20201224_0800" what firefox searched: https://www.bing.com/search?q=reindeer&pc=W013&form=BWMFDF

Okay,

On Bings homepage you scroll down to image of the day, click on Learn more to be taken to the quiz page. Have you tried these steps in safe mode?

Do you see any cookies being blocked? Can you also send a pic similar to mine below? Can you also post a pic of what the other browsers show?

Thank you. When opening Firefox in Safe Mode, I am able to click to the image of the day quiz page. I've uploaded a picture as requested. My understanding is that as things now stand, I will need to start and restart Firefox a couple of times to view the quiz. I choose m/s Edge to view the quiz (and do other work) and will use FF for video and email.

No, if the page works in safe mode with add-ons disabled, then one of the add-ons may be the issue.
