I just upgraded to FF 108 and every time I open Google search page and search for anything, FF freezes. I tried to restart in troubleshooting mode and the very same thing happens. The problem doesn't exist on any other page, just Google search. Same thing happens when searching from the search bar. I tried searching with "duckduckgo" and there is no issue.

Actually, the next day, somehow, without any changes, the problem solved by itself...hmmm.
