The Google front page (search) works for me (v155.0.1), although I 
have to allow scripts from google.com to run, which I think is new. I
don't know; I don't use the Google search engine much anymore.

YouTube also works without problem (but again, you have to allow scripts
from google.com, googlevideo.com and Youtube.com to run first).

Gmail similarly has no issue (assuming you enable javacripting, again).

So it doesn't seem to be an issue on Google's side or with Firefox. Too-sensitive 
restrictions or finicky extensions would be my guess.
