When using the search engine (yahoo) on firefox, no results are forthcoming unless I eliminate the last part of the search address. Why?
Recently reinstalled Firefox (02/11/2016) When searching (default Yahoo) the search engine shows the search, but no results are forthcoming. For example, a search for "Thesaurus" yielded: https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=A86.JyB.07xWGgsABgQnnIlQ?p=thesaurus&fr2=sb-top&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-003. When: &fr2=sb-top&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-003 was removed from the search address, results came up immediately. Has anyone experienced this problem and have a solution for same?

When I used the built in Firefox Yahoo search, I got this; https://us.search.yahoo.com/search?fr=yhs-invalid&p=Thesaurus
After, I used the Yahoo page search, and got this;
https://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AwrBT8ETOb1WE_YAgK5XNyoA;_ylc=X1MDMjc2NjY3OQRfcgMyBGZyA3locy1pbnZhbGlkBGdwcmlkAwRuX3JzbHQDMARuX3N1Z2cDMARvcmlnaW4DdXMuc2VhcmNoLnlhaG9vLmNvbQRwb3MDMARwcXN0cgMEcHFzdHJsAwRxc3RybAM5BHF1ZXJ5A1RoZXNhdXJ1cwR0X3N0bXADMTQ1NTI0MTUxMQ--?p=Thesaurus&fr2=sb-top-us.search&fr=yhs-invalid
Both showed me the search results.
