I can't connect some websites...can't do google searches and can't use some of my book mark links. I get connection has tmes out server is taking to long to respond
I can get to the internet with no problems. I can connect to facebook, yahoo, and other sites with no problem. I do a google search and it just keeps trying to connect but never does. I even tried getting on you tube and couldn't and did the other day. I type a search in yahoo and got to items. It seems the problem is related mostly to google.

go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. If this doesn't work then check these out.

Everything seems to be OK. I was able to get to you tube and did google searches. Thank you so much for your help it is greatly appreciated.
None of this will help my situation. Whenever I try to restart, press the shift key, and enter in all the boxes, I can't access anything at all from Firefox. I had to click "no proxys" in order to get back to anything. I can't access Google, Bing, Ask.com, my YouTube account, however I can access YouTube, but it tells me to download Adobe and when I do, it still doesn't work.
flyer93 following are the steps for you to perform in order to Start Firefox in Safe Mode.
Click the Windows Start button, select Run.... Type one of the following in the Windows Run box:
firefox -safe-mode
OR
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
Safe Mode window will appear -> select ALL options and click "Make Changes and Restart"
Now Firefox will start as if you just downloaded & installed it from scratch. Check and tell if its working.
