“why is google search and search bar not working in firefox”

When the above search is entered into the google search box the following url reference populates the url line but does not resolve to a the search results. Sometimes the tab gets frozen and hitting enter does nothing. Sometimes hitting enter will cause the url to resolve to the search results.

Further whenever a link is clicked in gmail it opens another tab with the following url but does not resolve to the search results and tab is frozen

following url:

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=why+is+google+search+not+working+in+firefox”

Tried both above issues on Chrome and no problem. Have rebooted pc. Running Win 11
