searxng preferences forgotten sometimes in FireFox #176

Closed privacyguy123 closed 1 year ago

Can't understand exactly what could be causing this ... I have the cookie explicitly saved so it never gets removed on close/clean.

Now searching from URL bar then searching again inside that already opened page defaults my search to just "IT" rather than all the options I've selected. Wtf is going on here?

EDIT: I thought I'd have a mess about with all the settings and strangely toggling Search on category select - OFF fixes this odd behaviour in my FireFox set up. Not sure where the bug actually lies though.

EDIT2: All preferences still forgotten sometimes when searching directly from URL bar ... seems like some sort of FireFox cache issue perhaps?

Someone can look into this bug? It's driving me loopy

Exact steps to reproduce:

Search for something from within the URLbar with SearXNG set as default search engine in FireFox
Results appear with saved preferences
Change the search term within the "Search for" box and click the magnifying glass
Results default to just "IT" selected for no apparent reason???
Further digging shows this only happens with Search on category select - ON - I would like this option to work properly.

That's not an issue of this repo.
