[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Search' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Searching for "vnc" on that page works fine for me on Nightly 95. Are you still able to reproduce this bug?
