I noticed it's with most "Sponsored" results. Incredibly frustrating.
Please help!

Are you running Kaspersky? If so, have a look at this page. https://forum.kaspersky.com/topic/getting-pr_connect_reset_error-in-firefox-when-using-kaspersky-total-security-28248/
No, not running Kaspersky... I did see the other forums that mentioned that. My PC is running Symantec via our IT department.
Do you use a Proxy or VPN?
You can check the connection settings.
- Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet, select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
See "Firefox connection settings":
You're on a work computer?! ;-/
Yes... my IT guy tried to figure it out and gave up... so I went online to see if there was a fix to this. I dont know what else I can do?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.
Try changing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to "Off" or "Max Protection" and in Connection Settings change "Use system proxy settings" to "No proxy".
