Hello,

I was looking for security add-ons at

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?category=privacy-security&sort=rating&type=extension

when i got to the bottom of the page I clicked for the next of 91 pages
of security add-ons and the very next page was not related at all.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?page=2&sort=rating&type=extension

What gives?  Is this bait and switch or is there something wrong with
the web page?  I sure hope you still have more than one page of security
and privacy add-ons?

What would be funny here is if you said there was something wrong with
the browser I was using since it is yours.  LOL

Sincerely concerned about the direction of Firefox,

Frank

It seems that when hitting the 'Next' page, it isn't taking the search query part of the URL into consideration '?category=privacy-security' to show the next results.  Filing here but if this is the wrong component, feel free to move.  Thanks!

This is a duplicate of https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/issues/3764 and not an security issue. The problem is already fixed on our development system and will go live on Thursday.
