cannot access google.com
Quantum 60.1,, 64bit version, on Win7, 64. I am in Germany. Periodically, i cannot access Google.com, or search in the FF search field, which is set to search on Google. If i go directly to a website, its fine. Also, if i search for google.de, its fine. No problem using another browser. I would love to get to the bottom of this. thanks

Does that happen on other Browsers?
Are you getting any error messages?

Maybe do a malware scan.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

No. Only FF. What is strange is that the issue is intermittent
As already noted in the post No problem using another browser.
Hi, can try a Reinstall : uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's(Win10) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Did you try a malware scan?
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":
