When I address Firefox to https://www.google.com I get a message at the bottom of my screen "Performing a TLS handshake to www.google.com" and it looks like nothing more than that is ever going to happen ...
Is this some new feature I need to deal with, I believe there was a Firefox upgrade this morning when I did the usual dnf upgrade. Whatever it's a problem for doing a search with Google.
Am I the only one seeing this and what do I need to fix?

whereelse do you expect to perform the TLS handshake than to the host itself?

+ It can do it wherever it wants, but that's not the response I expect, normally I get a window to enter some search terms in, as it is it does nothing but display an "error" message." It has always just worked until now, something has changed and it may be my ISP, I dunno?

Mine started doing that with FF 54; I'm a tad surprised that you haven't noticed it before. Once I got used to it, I realized that this was better than FF just sitting there with no response while it did that.

+ Well yours may be responding faster than mine, it just sits there doing nothing for some undetermined period of time, more than a few minutes, I've noticed a few times when I went back it had the search window up, maybe came up while I was in the kitchen getting some lunch ...
I tried duckduckgo.com and it does not have that problem, I'm not accustomed to their page but it does work and I can use it. Just not the solution I was looking for.
Just found your follow-up message, after I'd replied to the first one.

Working fine here.
Perhaps at the time you tried it, whatever Google server you were connecting to, is having a problem.
[tim@fluffy ~]$ dig google.com +short 216.58.196.142
That's the IP that I'm currently finding Google at.

216.58.196.142 Worked immediately, and after that Google from the URL window history worked as usual. Perhaps a google server problem, it seem,s to have fixed itself spontaneously. I'll see what tomorrow brings.
Thanks to all responding.
