Lately, and often, when I try to Google a site from the upper right hand corner of my computer screen, I get a "loading" message in my tab, then a "done" message in the lower left hand corner of the computer screen, but no I am not able to access the web, no matter how often I refresh the screen. If I quit firefox and try again, it usually works.
