If possible, please include the output of help->troubleshooting information (as text):

I tried the Ekoru search engine, but was greeted with a page with only this text:

Code: Select all

We have detected a security violation with the request.

Please use the search engine as you normally would. Repeat refresh of search pages does not count as valid traffic.

Nous avons détecté une violation de sécurité avec la demande. Les demandes automatisées sont bloquées.

This happens in safe mode as well.

Huh, I'm getting the same thing as well. Even their main page is blocked for me.

EDIT: Seems like UA sniffing. When I changed my user-agent to that of Firefox 91's and without any Pale Moon or Goanna strings, it worked for me.

The engine works in Firefox and Chromium.

Indeed, when I changed it to:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:101.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/101.0

It worked.

It also works if you set the User Agent Mode to Native or if you set a UA override like so:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:5.1) Goanna/20170101 PaleMoon/31.1.0

I'm guessing they're blocking any user agent that identifies as an older version of Firefox.

Since Ekoru is an included search engine, shouldn't Pale Moon add the override for this site as default in the prefs.js?

I'll contact Ekoru and ask them to look into this.
