What happened?

I have Waterfox G6.0.17 as my default homepage and Kagi as my default search engine. Name Waterfox Version G6.0.17 Build ID 20240702130000 Distribution ID
Update Channel release User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0 OS Linux 5.15.0-116-generic #126-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 1 10:14:24 UTC 2024 OS Theme Mint-Y-Red / Mint-Y-Red Application Binary /app/opt/waterfox/waterfox-bin

I use Linux mint RELEASE=21.3 CODENAME=virginia EDITION="Cinnamon" DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia" DESKTOP=Gnome TOOLKIT=GTK

If you aren't aware, the kagi.com site does a Quick Search, which creates an AI answer:

  1. if you type a query with a question mark, or
  2. if you type a query and then hit Quick Search.

If you are redirected from another page, it is supposed to do a quick search automatically if you add the question mark in the query field on the home page that you use. SO.... If I ask a question from the Waterfox start page ending in a question mark, kagi is supposed to automatically do a Quick Search However, there is a message "Show More" with an arrow for more information. When I click it, it doesn't work. image However, The "Show More" with an arrow thing does display the additional information when I click it if:

  1. I refresh the page
  2. I add the question mark after it goes to the kagi page (as in, I type the query without the question mark, get redirected, then add the question mark, then hit enter
  3. I change the search to another question, using a question mark, on the page after I have already been redirected to kagi
  4. I type in the query without a question mark and then click Quick Search
  5. I type in the query with a question mark and then hit Quick Search

So it works in nearly every case, just not when I type a query in the Waterfox query field, using a question mark. If I do that, the "Show More" with an arrow thing does not cause the additional information to display.

I'm sure this took longer than I will ever save if you make this work, but I thought I would let you know! Thank you.

PS--This functionality works perfectly in Firefox, which I used to use, just not in Waterfox.

Reproducible?

Version

G6

What platform are you seeing the problem on?

Linux

Relevant log output

Since this is a situation where it goes from one application to another, I'm not sure how to give you any relevant information in the form of a log.

If anyone's interested, it still doesn't work. In fact, it's worse. I can't get show more to work at all. It does work on chromium, however.
