Google search is making Pale Moon freeze when date range is specified - EDIT, not a PM problem

EDIT -

I just found that Custom Date Range is also making Chrome freeze, so it's not a PM problem and must be Google itself(??!!) This thread can be deleted I suppose; I wanted to be clear for the moderator instead of deleting it myself.


=====================================================================
Today Google search started freezing Pale Moon whenever you try to use Customised Date Range. Here is what I am seeing. It happens both in Safe Mode and with extensions.

- search for something in Google
- on the results page click on Tools > Any Time > Custom Range
- PM freezes for about one minute and all of PM is greyed out
- window pops up saying "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue."... "Continue / Debug Script / Stop Script"
- click Stop Script
- the freeze ends and you can use Pale Moon
- you can type a date into the Custom Range box but clicking on Go does nothing (seems logical, if the script is stopped)
