Firefox cannot open google

Everytime i type in www.google.com I get this:
The connection has timed out
The server at www.google.com is taking too long to respond.
I have a laptop which runs firefox and opens google just fine. I have cleared my cache and cookies and tried all the other suggestions on the forums with no luck. I even tried getting there through a proxy server but had no luck.
HELP?!?

You have to delete your cache and cookies: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=7151a96597e7c798&hl=en
I tried deleting various subsets of cookies and, in the end, deleted all cookies. After that, everything worked OK.

  • I cannot open Google in Firefox. Why not??? This is since I "refreshed" Firefox.

    Ever since I refreshed Firefox, I cannot open Google which means I cannot access my Gmail account. This is very aggravating. Kindly help me to fix this problem I have tried the usual restart solution and it didn't solve anything.

    As you may have noticed, the Refresh/Reset feature copies your settings (profile) folder to the desktop into a folder named "Old Firefox Data".
    If Firefox was running reasonably problem-free before the Refresh, and you haven't deleted the Old Firefox Data folder from your desktop, there is a way to use the contents of that folder to revert the refresh. You might want to brew a fresh cup...
    Check inside "Old Firefox Data" folder for a folder with a semi-randomized name. If there's only one, that probably has your old settings and add-ons. If there's more than one, you'll want to work with the one that was updated most recently.
    Once you have identified the profile folder you want to restore, here is my suggested "old profile resurrection procedure":
    '''Overview'''
    These are the steps:
    # Create a new Firefox profile
    # Remove everything from that new profile folder
    # Copy in everything from the old profile folder
    '''Create a new Firefox profile (Windows)'''
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager by pasting the following into the Start menu search box, or the Start > Run dialog, and pressing Enter:
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Note: Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.''
    Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like OldSettings, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then select that new profile in the dialog and start Firefox.
    '''Open the New Profile folder in Windows Explorer'''
    Firefox in the new profile should look like a factory fresh installation. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table, click the "Show Folder" button. Firefox will launch your brand new profile folder in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving that folder open, switch back to Firefox, and Exit. When Firefox closes, the profile folder should be front and center, or you can activate it using the Task bar.
    '''Copy Old Data in Place of New'''
    In that new profile folder, select all the contents and delete.
    Leaving that window open, open or switch over to your Old Firefox Data folder. Drill down into your old profile folder. At this level you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.
    Select everything (Ctrl+a) and Copy (either right-click > Copy or Ctrl+c).
    Switch to the empty new profile folder in other window and Paste (either right-click > Paste or Ctrl+v). This may take a minute since some of the files are large.
    '''Start Firefox'''
    Firefox should start up in that new profile with the resurrected old profile data. Success?

  • Firefox cannot open any web site except facebook

    firefox cannot open any web site except facebook.when i browse other site except facebook, it automatically open facebook.

    Does Blackberry Link install any add-ons into Firefox? You can check here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category<br>
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Also, does Blackberry Link create any Windows network connections? To make sure Firefox isn't randomly choosing dysfunctional networks, check your proxy setting here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network > "Settings" button
    If you have Auto-detect, try either No Proxy or Use system proxy settings.

  • Cannot open google or mozilla sites in firefox ok in other browsers.

    I am running Firefox 36 which runs normally except that I cannot open certain websites a few eg.s below:
    any mozilla sites, cannot open extention site also
    no Google sites
    which is very fustrating. The above websites work in IE, Chrome & Opera. I have cleared cache and cookies, reloaded in safe mode, totally
    uninstalled firefox and cleaned out any reference to Firefox or Mozilla in my registry and after reinstalling no change. I have even downgraded
    to version 34 to no avail. I am using Kaspersky anti virus which I have tried closing down and I cannot see any problems with Windows firewall.
    After looking on your webiste I also tried disabling IPv6 & changing DNS Prefetching (about:config).f
    This problem first occured approx 5 days ago I am at a loss as to why this is happening, please can you advise.

    At this time, I don't have any good ideas, but please provide a bit more information so I or others can help further:
    # when you type in the url and press enter, in the bottom left of the browser window, it will have some status notification, it maybe "looking up..." "connecting..." "waiting for response...", "transferring data...", what was the status you get when trying to reach those websites?
    # when you say "can't open", what error page shows up?
    # if you can't open http://www.google.com/ can you open http://74.125.224.72 ? (this is the ip address of google.com, using this directly should bypass DNS issues).

  • Web Browsers cannot open Google

    Hey everyone, first and formost, thanks for taking the time to look at my posting.
    I'll keep it simple:
    o For two days now I cannot open www.google.com
    o I can open any other variation, such as www.google.de or www.google.com.hk
    o I can open Google via it's IP address of 74.125.224.72
    o In a browser I get the "You are not connected to the Internet" page (Safari), or "Server Not Found" (Firefox)
    o If I try to ping www.google.com I get:
    Ping has started…
    ping: cannot resolve www.google.com: Unknown host
    o If I try to tracerout:
    Traceroute has started…
    traceroute: unknown host www.google.com
    o I can access www.google.com on other devices on the same network (iPhone 4s, iPad 2)
    Help!

    Try using OpenDNS servers.
    System Preferences>Network>Advanced>DNS
    In the left side column click the + and add the following:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK, then click Apply.

  • Error messages saying FireFox cannot do Google friends on my blog. Error Message Oops! Firefox could not find r1rk9np7bpcsfoeekl0khkd2juj27q3o-a-fc-opensocial.goo

    Oops! Firefox could not find r1rk9np7bpcsfoeekl0khkd2juj27q3o-a-fc-opensocial.goo
    THis is the error message on ALL blogs I write on or view. My FireFox cannot find my google friends. the message says GOOGLE and then the words above, OOPS. Firefox could not find........
    HELP I have NO idea what to do. This is from how MY COMPUTER view blogs through Firefox for the past three weeks.

    A few other thoughts:
    (1) If you access Google in IE and click the padlock icon in the address bar to view the certificate, what do you find in the "Issued by" section as the issue? I have attached the info from Firefox for comparison; I don't have a modern version of IE on this PC.
    (2) Do recall changing any encryption-related settings, either through the Options dialog or using the about:config preferences editor?
    You could check for non-default settings as follows:
    (A) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (B) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''ssl''' and pause while the list is filtered
    If any of the preferences whose names start with network. or security. have been customized, they likely will be bolded and show "user set". Could you post those by right-click copying the preferences and then right-click pasting into a reply?

  • All of a sudden I cannot open Google Maps, what could be wrong?

    Today  I went to open google maps the page would not load (nothing comes up, just a blank screen). This is happening for a few other websites and I can't figure out what could be wrong. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know!
    Thank you

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I cannot open Google from my MacBook Pro

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Firefox cannot open pictures in F/B, but Internet Explorer does. Why?

    While surfing Facebook.com I was unable to view pictures on any sites I visited while using Firefox 3.6.13. I exited Firefox and opened Internet Explorer 8.0.6+, and all photos opened without any trouble. How can I view pictures on Facebook.com while using Firefox?

    It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right-click context menu while saving an image.

  • Firefox cannot load google

    excuse my english, it is not my native language and I cannot find an answer in the forum.
    my problem is that I cannot load google.com or gmail. Every other website loads in mozilla like hotmail and other dutch websites I use frequently. I used google many years but now all of a sudden it will not load and I get an error message and cannot find the answer to solve this problem. Can anyone help me please? I already scanned my computer totally, no viruses or spyware or what it is called.
    thanks
    Marion

    Would I be being over cynical if I thought that Google doesn't want to fix the gmail issues because they would prefer us all to change to chrome?
