      Did you recently update pfsense, or some package? When was the last time you accessed it?

          No pfsense does not auto update.. That would be HORRIBLE idea... It will tell you when an update is available, and when it was last checked... But it would not auto update itself..

          When was the last time you accessed the page your having an issue with? When did you update to 2.4.4p3 - was it since the last time you accessed the forwarder page? Have you installed any packages since the last time you accessed the page?

            Most likely you have some kind of hardware failure, if it's always an 'M' then I'd guess it's a disk problem, where the contents of the file have been corrupted. If the letter changes, then it's probably RAM/CPU.

            Slight chance it's a corrupt filesystem and a reinstall would fix it. You'd be better off replacing the disk and reinstalling, however.

                  Can you access all other pages? Curious why you are using forwarder vs unbound?

                      unbound is a resolver, that supports dnssec. It can just forward if you want. It is the default for pfsense, dnsmasq can only forward.
