Hello! After updating to the latest version of Firefox (100.0.2, 64-bit), I notice that Google search stops working every now and then. By stops working, I mean I can't use their website https://www.google.com or search using Firefox's address bar or search bar. Searching with other search engines like Bing is working normally. In order to get Google search working again, I have to close and restart Firefox. However, after some time, it stops working again. How can I fix this problem?

This could be a problem with the TLS 1.3 Early Data feature also known as Zero Round Trip Time Resumption (0rtt). You can try to set security.tls.enable_0rtt_data = false on the about:config page to disable this feature until this is fixed by Google or Mozilla to see if that helps.

Thanx, cor-el. I've change the settings and so far it is looking good. I'm going to wait until the end of the day to see if it helped.

co-rel,

I tried the solution you listed and it did not fix the issue. Also, have cleared cookies, cache, history numerous times. Reset and reinstalled Firefox. Anything else I can try? Using Desktop and Windows 11 OS.
