The search function is not working. I get a "Hmmm... we're having trouble finding that site. We can't connect to www.google.com" I've cleared the cache, refreshed Firefox, and now have installed that latest version of Firefox. I am able to go to any site for which I have the URL. And, I can go to Google Drive and Google Doc, and GMAIL, all Google products. Also, when I click on a link in an email, I get the same error message. I'm at a loss......

You can check the connection settings.

  • Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":
