Firefox and Chrome wont load google.com or captchas "SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN" error
Both Chrome and Firefox wont load google.com or any captchas. The Discord log in also requires a captcha, th is wont load either. I get the error "SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN" when attempting to load google.com. This does not occur on any other website. I've already tried using another profile, renaming the cert file, setting windows time and date to automatic and running malwarebytes. The problem persists.

You can check the connection settings.
- Options/Preferences -> 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":
Try to rename the cert9.db file (cert9OLD.db) and remove the previously used cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to remove intermediate certificates and exceptions that Firefox has cached.
If this has helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert9OLD.db file. Otherwise you can undo the rename and restore cert9.db.
You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

I would like to add that "DigiCert Global Root G1A" does not exist in my certificates manager
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, that is not the real Google.com.au certificate, and of course it doesn't match google.com. There appears to be an interloper of some kind. Since multiple browsers are affected, I suspect it's something external that has hooked into Windows to intercept browser connections.
As a test, could you try DNS over HTTPS, a feature that bypasses Windows when looking up the IP address corresponding to a domain name, and instead uses Cloudflare. More info in this article: Firefox DNS over HTTPS.
Does that make any difference?
With DNS enabled over HTTPS (Cloudflare) google.com still does not load. The problem persists I have since tried turning off all browser extensions. Google.com.au will now also not load

Changing the proxy setting to "no proxy" has solved this. Google.com now loads and captchas in Firefox work. Thanks for the help
I would like to add, if the captcha not loading persists on other browsers (chrome, ie) and programs, check and change your windows proxy settings. Remove any proxy in Windows settings you have not set, you may need to edit ProxySettingsPerUser found in "hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\windows\currentversion\internetsettings" to 1 so that the changes you made in windows proxy settings are saved
