Intermittent Fault - Google sites won't load
When using Firefox and searching with Google.com I will experience an issue where the Google links/websites won’t load. And if they have previously loaded and the issue begins none of the elements work. This issue is frustratingly intermittent. It will be fine for a few min and then break for a few min. I'd attach screenshots but there is no error - simply does nothing. I have done a bunch of troubleshooting and testing to get to the root of the issue.
- Reload page
- Restart Firefox
- Cleared cache
- Disabled Privacy/Security settings
- Disabled Plugins
- Updated Firefox
- New Private Window
- Tested another browser - Other browsers load google sites
- Tested non google websites – Other websites are loading
- Tested another network
I’ve noted that google.co.za seems to have a separate intermittency from google.com. However, I have tested and found both can be ‘broken’ at the same time. It also happens with Youtube.com. I am quite happy to continue troubleshooting, I just need some direction.

You can check the 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.

Hi All, tried all the things - no luck. I have noted that closing Firefox and reopening it fixes the issue for a short time.
Please note again - no error messages and this is again only with google sites like google.com, google.co.za and youtube.com

Open the History Manager <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> H. In the search bar, enter the name of the site. Right-click on one of the listings and select Forget About This Site. This should remove all information, including any site settings And Passwords.
There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.
