Description
Using bing as search engine i noticed it started to show me very few results for searches that should have many results .
It happens for my region AR, but if i connect to VPN to US then i get a lot of results and ads.
This happens if i go to www.bing.com and also if i set bing as a default search engine too.
Using Release/Beta i don´t see this problem at all, without vpn i get a lot of results and ads. Safari also shows lots of results and ads.
Tested on
Windows10 64bit not affected
MacOS 11 affected.
ubuntu 21 not affected
with versions
94.0.2 (not affected)
95 beta (not affected)
96.0a1 nightly (affected)
steps to reproduce
-Launch firefox with a new profile
-go to www.bing.com
-search for something popular like "samsung galaxy"
-or set bing as default engine and search "samsung galaxy" in url bar.
actual result
I get very few results (only 2 pages of search results are shown in) and NO ads in the page.
expected result
It should show many pages of results for something that is so common, and should show ads, like it does on beta and release. Beta and release are showing more than 5 pages of results and shows ads everywhere.
I will set this as S3 since im not sure how many regions might be affected
