[Firefox Android] Firefox freezes when I select an image on the main page of a Google search
I'm using Android 13 and Firefox is updated to the latest update. When I Google something and select an image, Firefox freezes and I either have to reload the page and the image will load or I have to close & reopen the app and switch to the Images tab. This is on the main Google search page. Images selected in the Google Images tab work as expected.

Hi Do you have the Google Search Fixer add-on installed? If not, I recommend that you install it as it may help with this issue.
The add-on is the problem. I just looked at the reviews and people were reporting the same issue. Thanks for taking the time to reply and pointing me in the right direction with the add-on. I disabled the add-on and the problem is gone.

Hi

I already have it installed
Okay.
Do you have any other apps open at the same time?
How many tabs do you have open?
Sometimes I have several, up to 10. Sometimes I only have the browser open.

It's not necessarily the extensions fault. I tried changing the useragent to the same one used in chrome android and the page freezes just the same. Its a firefox/useragent error
Same thing with another user-agents that changes the search page to chrome style. Looks like it's a firefox bug.
I found that if I log out of my Google account, everything works fine, pictures open, the tab doesn't hang.
