The certificate that shows via FIREFOX looks to be fiddler2.com even though it says GOOGLE.COM at the top. Do you have a high jacking issue? Is Firefox safe to use?

Chosen solution

unfortunately the fiddler2 issuer in certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.

afterwards, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
