when I enter any search term on any search engine listed on FF, I'm directed to an error page 404. Qwant displays error page, "we have sent you too far mea culpa!"

I have removed and re-installed FF on my phone and re-added Brave and Qwant search engines but they continue returning error messages (404).

If I go directly to the search engine site things function correctly but when using search on the address bar it malfunctions.

In the past the FF search bar with these engines have always worked well.

Any suggestions?

Hi Phil

What are the search strings that you are using to add Brave and Qwant?
