Search Engine QWANT, when it is the default search engine, dont't work since the last update of firefox. I am using Linux Mint and Firefox 57.0.1. When Qwant is the default engine, just nothing happen when you search something with the search box (upper right).

Is it only me ?

Thank you

Hello, perhaps try removing and re-adding QWANT.

Thank you MkII

Done, many times, but that's not solved my problem. And everything is OK on my other computer with W10.

I am going to completely purge-removing Firefox installation, then reinstall it;

Purge - reinstall : No, no change. Seems like Qwant as wrong search parameters and search don't start at all. If it is only me, it is not really important but this is happening at the last Firefox update. It is why i am thinking that i am not the only one. All other search engine are working perfectly (Google, Yahoo, DuckDuck, Ii Quick, etc ..)
