On firefox for Android, if you installed "Google search fixer" addon, it causes browser to freeze when interacting with images in Google search. Someone please report this to mozilla. Using the android browser without that addon is almost impossible.

What this addon does exactly? I did read the extension page, but it does not tell.

Override the user-agent string presented to Google Search pages to receive the search experience shown to Chrome on Firefox for mobile / tablet.

can't you just manually edit the user agent in the about:config menu and achieve the same result?

I tried this and the issue still persists, seems like something from Google side. I am now skeptical if the addon developer or mozilla can do anything about this :(
