Lose connection with Internet after a hiatus with browsing

I have two Surface computers, old one is Pro 3 with Windows 10 and new one is Pro 8 with Windows 11. I'm having a problem with the Pro 8. Example: When browse using Foxfire and DuckDuckGo (default) and visit a web site such as news and then after a while take a break for an hour. If I leave the browser on a news web site and return an hour later I can see the last web page I visited. But when I type in a new search I get the message that the computer and/or browser has lost connection with the Internet and the suggestion "try again". At that point I can no longer browse anywhere on the Internet. The only fix is to restart the compute and type in a new search on the Foxfire/DuckDuckGo. Using Foxfire and DuckDuckGo with my Pro 3, the same problem does not exist.

Since the problem I'm having seems specific to the new computer I"m wondering if there is a setting I need to change. Or maybe there is a compatibility issue between FoxFire/DuckDuckGo and Windows 11/Surface Pro 8? Yes, I can always fix my problem temporarily by restarting the computer but it means taking the extra time frequently.

Appreciate any suggestions on how to eliminate this problem. Thank you, Bakerrrr
