My version is the most recent, 152.0.6.
After a few minutes, text searches in the address bar unpredictably stop working. This might happen right away, or it may take a while. The result is always
Secure Connection Failed
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Here are the problems that I encounter literally every day:
Randomly unable to access GMail: account selection entry screen does not respond, or drop-down account selection when logged on does not respond.
Randomly unable to access URLs embedded in emails.
Browser locks up unpredictably.
Videos in Facebook randomly fail to render: the audio plays, but the bottom half of screen completely blanks.
Randomly unable to access websites in general: "secure connection failed".
Randomly refuses to search for terms entered in the address bar, with "secure connection failed".
Widgets on web pages randomly fail to respond.
I'm using the VPN that comes with my AV package, and turning it off makes everything work again. However, I'm certainly not going to turn off part of my web protection (which I am paying for) in order to get Firefox to perform basic browser capabilities. TBH, all of this started when Firefox started aggressively promoting their own VPN, so it's quite tempting to put two and two together.
I would prefer not to resort to Edge or Chrome, but at this point I don't see an alternative as they do not have these problems and Firefox has basically become unusable.
