What is https://www.familysearch.org/eurona/feed/home
I have had Family Search bookmarked for years, in the last few days when I click on the bookmark I get:
" Well, this is unexpected! We can help you search literally billions of records, but we can't seem to find the page you're looking for." and the web address is
https://www.familysearch.org/eurona/feed/home
If I reload the page I get the same result.
If I click on the family search icon, the page changes to
https://www.familysearch.org/en/,
Then I can sign in and all seems to work as it has for years.

IIRC, it's a previous URL that led to FamilySearch.
FamilySearch has had a few different URLs over the years. FamilySearch.com still redirects to FamilySearch.org.
There was probably an automatic redirect in place to the current URL. When that redirect expired, the error message appeared.

It's still the same and it's still unacceptable!

@Monica Ross_1, what's still the same as what?
It is a basic fact about the Internet that URLs (links) change. If your old bookmark no longer works, but the site still exists at a different address, change your bookmark to that new address.

This is sort of speculation, but what I have noticed is that it seems that eurona has been used for updates to pages that have not been fully implemented yet such as some of the times we could switch between an existing version of page and a new version of page. I suspect that your old bookmark went to the current version of the home page when we could change between it and the last version. When a page is then fully released and the old one retired, the new page shifts from the eurona link to the standard link.
So clear your cookies, empty your cache, and make sure your bookmark is only: www.familysearch.org
Then you will always get redirected to the proper entry to FamilySearch no matter how the internal site links get shifted around.

Thanks Gordon,
I have deleted the old bookmark, which had somehow changed into the eurona link and re-added the link/bookmark to www.familysearch.org. Which has worked.
My frustration was because I had not changed my bookmark, but somehow had changed to the eurona address which made no sense.

Your trouble probably arose from what I call an overly helpful computer. Whenever I update a browser or operating system I watch for automatic processes and turn off as many as I can. I don't like the computer doing things for me that the programmers assume I want to do, like updating bookmarks without telling me.
