  • Basic usage of the Image search UI results in `Uncaught DOMException: The operation is insecure.` Under Firefox

  • BugsDesktopAppearanceDone

Whenever I search for something, and then add or change anything to the search in the input, clicking enter or the search icon does nothing. I have to do a refresh of the page and then re-add the text and most of the time it works, but some times I have to close the tab, and try again.

Whenever I search for images and try to click on the image results nothing happens, the URL doesn't show up in the status field of the browser either, I click a few times around on different images, and sometimes I shows the image other times it actually goes back to the previous page.

I'm using Firefox 134.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 11 Pro. This has only happened in Firefox currently. Tried it on Edge and Vivaldi, and they seem to work correctly.

Also, this doesn't always happen, but sporadic. I don't know how to explain it, but searched seem "slugish".

Might not be Kagi seeing as it work everywhere else, just curious if anyone else have noticed something like it? I have no add-ons that interfere with Kagi, or I've turned of them interfering with Kagi.

None of the above. 😛

    Hmm, I can't replicate and I'm on the exact same setup (Firefox 134.0.1 Win 11 Pro)

      I have started seeing the same issue, at least for the last couple of weeks. I have not tried any browser other than firefox on MacOS or Linux (at least >134.0.0). A family member on windows firefox reports the same issue.

      I will search for something and quickly see that I need to add an extra term or remove something, I will do that and press enter and nothing happens, Ill click the search bar and or the search button and nothing happens either. Usually I click in empty space around the page and re-click the search text field and then it works.

      I have attached a video of the issue.

      I have the same problem.

      User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:134.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/134.0
      Using Firefox on Arch Linux, installed from the normal Arch repos.

      I think this is caused by Uncaught DOMException: The operation is insecure. which can be seen in the console.

      When searching fails, I see this:

      Too many calls to Location or History APIs within a short timeframe. search:293:24380
Uncaught DOMException: The operation is insecure.

      When I click on an image in the image search results and it does not load, I see this:

      Happy to help diagnose, let me know if you need any further information or testing.

        Phew, I'm not the only one!

        Did words always have a space in the URL field, I'm just used to search engines using + instead of spaces.

        Edit: If you search with several words, it shows in the URL field with + instead of spaced for a split second.

        Edit #2: This is Firefox behavior... Edge shows it like it normally is:

        Edit #3: Firefox removes the + in Google searches too. So probably not related. :/

          Got the same. Images loaded, clicking them made the errors, and then clicking did nothing before going back to the previous page.

              Same issue here with Firefox, very annoying, upvoted as I feel this is a major usability issue.

              Merged 7 posts from Search has been weird for over a week.

                Hey all, just merging this in with the other post regarding this.

                nat posted something that could potentially help, but we should not be navigating this much in the first place.
                The history calls exceeded errors feel very weird but it's also something I cannot reproduce even when spamming images/queries.

                It seems to be firefox specific, across multiple operating systems - all seemingly on 134.0 and up.

                We are still looking into the issue and will keep you updated - thanks.

                Changing dom.navigation.navigationRateLimit.count from the default of 200
                to 0 (limit disabled) does “fix” this for me, I suggest you check your about:config, it's possible this
                default is not being migrated to older installs, or something like that.
                This does suggest that something Kagi is doing is calling the history / location API a lot more than it should

                  https://github.com/ClearURLs/Addon/issues/412
                  https://github.com/ClearURLs/Addon/issues/409
                  I think this may be related to these issues.
                  In particular, this “feature”:

                  Seems to be necessary to trigger the issue (it's on by default). Following those issue threads, it looks like that change may be reverted soon, which would unbreak kagi.
                  At the very least, I'm now pretty sure that the issue was extension related, at least for me.
                  FWIW it's a popular extension, probably that alone is enough to explain the incident rate.

                    I can confirm that I use the ClearURLs extension and that disabling that 'Prevent tracking injection over history API' feature does indeed resolve the issue, thanks so much for that great detective work! Looks like an upstream bug with that extension as it's breaking a number of websites, including Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and GitHub as well as Kagi. Probably would be acceptable to let Kagi users know that they should turn that feature off until a bug fix is available from the extension vendor.

                        I can confirm that disabling the History API Injection protection option in that extension fixes this, it does seem to be a bug with the extension that effects various websites

                          Closing this - since it appears to be related to the ClearURLs extension.
                          If anyone has this issue without the extension, please feel free to comment and we can re-open.
