I can not access FireFox. I re-downloaded a new version and it does not work. It used to work.

This message comes up on the screen: Unable to connect. 

         Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.
        The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
   moments.
 If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
   connection.
 If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
   that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I have tried restarting the computer and that did not work. I have checked access and it should be ok.

Please let me know how to fix the problem.
