firefox browser tab crashes on google images.
Hi, my Firefox browser works fine for everything, but google images. Whenever I search it comes up, but when I select images the page loads, I see the images and then instantly crashes. Thoughts?

We will upgrade Firefox to the current stable version 115 in a few days, so some issues should be fixed soon. Please report, if needed still.

Re: firefox browser tab crashes on google images.
Apparently caused by a Google JavaScript change that affects Firefox:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1839669
See the last comment:
Reproduced the issue with Firefox 114.0.2 on Debian GNU/Linux 10 and Debian 9 LXDE session Virtual Machine. After performing an image search on Google the tab crashes.
I can no longer reproduce the tab crash on the same operating systems after opening the link from comment 0 or after searching for images inside Google Search with Firefox 115.0, 116.0a1 (2023-06-26), and 103.13esr (treeherder build from comment 75).
