Yes, I can confirm the issue. Thanks for reporting. Google rejects the request because the request doesn't come from the same origin. Trying to find a workaround solution.

I've found a workaround. Navigate to: "about:config", and then change "dom.security.secFetch.enabled" to false.

Firefox 90 introduced additional headers which make problems here. More about it: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/07/12/firefox-90-supports-fetch-metadata-request-headers/

I'm still searching for a more general solution.

workaround works 👍, hope u can find a real fix for this

ok that workaround is no "usable" temporary fix, cause setting dom.security.secFetch.enabled to false breaks some other site

I've found a workaround, it should be working now. Version 1.27 released.
