Firefox question

johlee

Hello

I've been using firefox for the past couple of weeks since reading this board, everything has been fine until today, now whenever I log on to the internet I get this message

Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at https://www.google.com.

* Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
https://www.example.com

* 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 can type into the address bar and get the page I want but can't search, could it be my pc or could there be something wrong with the installation of the firefox programme

Thank you for any help

I've had this earlier today, looks like a problem at Google - it's was ok a little while back

Thank you both for your replies, it seems to be ok again now

Have had the same problem for about a month or so!
hitting refresh/reload button normally works and page
loads OK.
Seems to happen with google and google mail, so seems
to be a google problem, but not really sure.

Overall would still use Firefox rather than IE.

It took me a little while to get used to Firefox when you've been so used to using something else but I actually prefer it too now

an invite for and it has big storage of messages.

Same with me. Tabbed browsing is great and the toolbar bookmarks are a nice feature.

Only bad thing about Firefox is it eats up a lot of memory, usually if I leave it open over night the next day it'll be using 400mb's of memory...I just have to remember to close it every night before I stop using my computer
