Is anyone else having Firefox hang when enabling the Addon - Google Search Fixer? Every so often I no longer will be able to do anything on the tab. I have to close tab and open a new tab then search again.
I removed the Addon and don’t seem to be experiencing these issues since I removed it. I prefer the format with the addon enabled, so I am hoping there will be a fix. It’s been doing this for about a week or so now.
I have experienced this same issue on my Pixel phone and Samsung Tablet.
The addon really only spoofs the UA to a Chrome one, so Firefox gets the same page that Chrome does. In other words, this should also happen if you likewise change it with another addon.
The issue is likely that Google Search’s Chrome version is now using some code that somehow hangs on Firefox, and I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue to diagnose it, sadly.
Yeah I figured that is what is happening. If it wasn’t happening consistently, it wouldn’t bother me. It is tough for me to use the default layout of Google on Firefox.
For now I’ll try to use the Pixel search bar on my phone for Google results and have the results open in Firefox. I am so used to searching for everything in the browser.
