I'm on Firefox 90 and facing frequent and intermittent problem of Google unable to load a search page from address bar. The same happens on youtube. Sometimes youtube also shows you are offline, check your internet. This happens intermittently, not always, so when Google or youtube is working and suddenly this happens and when clicked on a link, the tab hardly show loading animation for 2 seconds and then no activity.

Both the above problems are not faced on Edge or Chrome. I have tried uninstalling firefox and using older firefox version 87, but even the problems still remains. Tried disabling all addons too and this doesn't happen on any other website

I have the same problem as nikhilnikhil118 but it affects the entire content of Google. Searching in the address bar leaves blank page with correct link in address bar (copy/paste in restarted Firefox works). Click on bookmark (https://translate.google.cz/?hl=cs) in new tab leaves blank page with no address filled while middle click on the same bookmark opens new blank tab with address filled. Google search results click on hypertext links not responding. Click on google drive links on pages leaves new blank page with address filled (copy/restart/paste works). After restarting firefox everything works but after a while it stops responding. Sometimes it's right on the next new tab other times it works even a minute or two. I my case all started with upgrade to version 89.0. I have allready deleted history and cookies, reastart with add-ons disabled and safe mode with restoration too.

Very true.

I even tried uninstalling firefox, deleting old firefox data, disabling all addons on new firefox install, but the problems still continue.

I also have the same firefox version on Ubuntu, but this problem is not faced there, just on Windows 10.

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
