Search bar at top not bringing up results
Working on a desktop with Windows 11. Problem is: search bar at top of my Firefox only intermittently brings up results. I can type something in there and it appears to be searching, but nothing comes up. Occasionally, if I hit it again it will bring something up, but not often. Google is the browser.

Since you mentioned Google... does it work fine for a while, then stop working, and if you close Firefox and start it up again, the pattern repeats, fine for a while, then nothing?
Several users have linked the "zero round trip resumption" feature with losing their Google connection in mid-session, including "Oops" messages on Gmail. This feature is intended to speed up website connections. (Explainer post by CloudFlare) However, there seems to be some kind of compatibility issue. Currently, there is only a hidden way to disable this and see whether it helps:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste security.tls.enable_0rtt_data and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the preference to switch the value from true to false
After that, try Google again. Any improvement?
