Duckduckgo shows its search page in Firefox as normal, but returns no
search result. It works fine in Chromium as usual.

Has anyone else the same problem/

Works for me (but I do not use the firefox package, I use the upstream 
software)

Running debian/stable, amd64, fully updated. No problems here. 

Just a guess: Are you running NoScript plugin im Firefox? Maybe it is not 
trusted.

Have fun!

Thank you, all. I'm not running NoScript but thank you for the suggestion.
It does seem strange as I'v e used it for years with no problem.

Please try new profile.

firefox-esr -P

is the command to run. Usually everything works on clean, new profile.
When you confirm that, you can concentrate to restore your old profile
to working order.

Many thanks, Piotr, that's done it. Since the early 1990s I have always
been impressed by the support given on the Debian lists - wonderful!

You are most welcome!

Now as you have working firefox, you can import everything from old
profile if you are using Mozilla cloud sync, or if you don't, you can
try to fix old profile: CTRL+F5 on the page (forces to drop caches on
this page), clean cookies, clean cache, cache, disable addons, until you
have this resolved. Good luck :)

Many thanks - now it's back to normal! (whatever that is in these Covid
days!)

I do not know if it is related, but I have observed problems of parts of
some pages not displaying, or displaying as flat rectangles, just after
a Firefox upgrade to 78.15.0esr-1~deb11u1. I downgraded to
78.14.0esr-1+b1 for now.
