Mod portal search doesn't work in Firefox

Post by curiosity »

And hasn't been for a while. Very annoying.

To reproduce: go search something.

Expected behavior: search results are shown.

Observed behavior: the front page is reloaded.

Strange -- it works for me (with Firefox@Linux, using uMatrix)

Typing in "krastorio", press "Search" and viola -- stuff for Krastorio is shown.

Damn, that worked. I wish I had guessed to first look what was there. Now we may never know.

I think I saw another thread elsewhere about login issues that were related to old cookies. Could be that. Or could be your browser had some stuff improperly cached.
