The URI indicates that Google is trying to redirect you to a TLS connection. So the browser did an initial handshake with Google, before something broke. Is the date and time on this device set correctly? Do I assume correctly that you navigated to "google[dot]com", rather than "https://google[dot]com" ?
The S7 is a somewhat older device. I'm unaware of what kind of compatibility and support still exists for it. I don't know if that might be at all relevant, in this case. I would think it should still work, although I don't know if that phone will have received the FF update which set it to use HTTPS by default.
You likely need this Add-on:
This will be fixed by Google shortly.
