Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/681

When using whoogle over HTTPS on Firefox, it sends notice that the page isn't redirecting properly, and when clicking try again it posts an HTTP 500 error.

Heroku (one-click deploy)
Docker
run executable
pip/pipx
Other: [describe setup]

Version of Whoogle Search

Latest build from [source] (i.e. GitHub, Docker Hub, pip, etc)
Version [version number]
Not sure

Desktop (please complete the following information):
Firefox on windows, android 11 and ubuntu 21

Unsure if this is related, but it also spits dozens of these in the logs:

This was solved by removing the container and reinstalling it entirely.
