1797791 - Bing SafeSearch applies inconsistently

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Franpa_999]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:105.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/105.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Bing Image Search and turn off SafeSearch
2. Enter lewd search terms, like "mannequin doll sex"
3. Repeatedly click the Search button, after each click look at the grid of search results. Periodically all results on the page will cycle between Unsafe and Safe results.
4. While the Search Results image grid is showing unsafe imagery, click one of the results in the grid to preview it and then cycle through results by clicking the arrows/keyboard arrow keys. After the first image it may change to showing safe results despite it still showing a grid of unsafe results when you click the X to exit the preview mode.

Actual results:

Frequently you'll be shown safe image results/previews instead of unsafe search results.

Expected results:

Safesearch Off should be consistently applied to search results.

Am gonna test later if undoing the network.cookie.sameSite.laxByDefault.disabledHosts work around for a seemingly now resolved cookie issue (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1750152) will resolve this.

It remains an issue.

I couldn't reproduce the issue on my end.
Could you please try if the issue occurs in safe mode. Here is a link that can help you do that:

Thanks.
