Recently suffering an infection, I left my machine logged in for 14 days ; |
2 |
during that time, I did a couple of eix-sync's + system updates. |
3 |
Yesterday feeling sufficiently better, I shut it down when going to bed. |
4 |
Today, I restarted with no apparent problem & read the news via Firefox. |
5 |
|
6 |
Then I tried to do a search for 'Thomas Telford' with the default Google : |
7 |
nothing happened nor when I substituted Wikipedia in the search-engine box ; |
8 |
OTOH in that box DuckDuckGo successfully found the Wikipedia entry. |
9 |
I also tried my bookmark for Wikipedia, which also refuses to work. |
10 |
The only hint I have is 1 "URL not found" report. |
11 |
|
12 |
Vivaldi finds both Google & Wikipedia without any problem. |
13 |
All the other usual newspapers etc come up as usual : |
14 |
only those 2 fail to appear when using Firefox. |
15 |
I've checked for cookie blockers, but there's no related entry, |
16 |
nor anything in AdBlockPlus. |
17 |
|
18 |
To keep the older Tab sorting system, I still FF 38.8.0 , |
19 |
but there has been no other problem with it since I installed it 160716. |
20 |
|
21 |
Can anyone suggest what might have happened ? |
