Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/703
Hello,
I have Whoogle running on my NAS in a docker container. I have a user and password set in the env variables to access the site. When the login env variables are enabled, I can't add it as a custom search engine on Firefox on Android using the https://<your whoogle url>/search?q=%s string. It just says there is an error connecting to whoogle. I have to stop the container, remove the login variables, start the container, then I am able to add the custom search engine. Once the custom search is added, I shut down the container, add the login credentials back, re-start the container and everything is good at this point. Is there something I am missing or is there no way around having to do this with credentials enabled? Appreciate your work and help!

Try http: just to see

i also cannot get Firefox Android to accept Whoogle as a custom search engine but I don't have user/pass. It works happily on my desktop Fedora 36 using Brave and Firefox though.
Phone: Firefox Android, 103.2.0 (Build #2015895963), LineageOS 18
Settings > Search > + Add search engine
It gives me the error: "Error connecting to "Whoogle""
I tried http, https, and just the domain name but I got the same error.
Should this be filed as a bug? Are others having issues?

The same issue. Also I noticed, that it asks the password each time you restart the browser
@goremykin commented on GitHub (Feb 13, 2023):
Ooh, I just noticed that the problem with entering a password after restarting the browser is also relevant for the desktop version of the browser...

Appears to be a stale FF Issue. Closing.
