Google not working

Firefox Blockierte Anwendung/Dienst/Website

Google has not worked on Firefox for me for the last 2-3 days and always gives the same error message: " The connection has timed out. The server at www.google.co.uk is taking too long to respond."

This issue only exists in Firefox, not in Opera or Edge. I have tried clearing the cache, using using Troubleshoot Mode, changing proxy settings to No Proxy, disabling antivirus, restarting the browser, and restarting my PC. None of these have made any difference, not even a slightly different error message. Google does, however, still work on my Firefox for Android.

As far as I can tell so far, Google is the only website affected by this issue, every other website works fine. Gmail and YouTube also still work fine, it's really only Google search.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

If you check "DNS over HTTPS" in Settings, does enabling/disabling, or switching providers yield any results?

Ian, given their .co.uk is just a redirect to .com, does using google.com directly make any difference?

Hi jbr, No, I've tried google.com and the ending for a few other countries, but none work.

Hi jbr, I changed it from Cloudflare to NextDNS and that has fixed it. Thank you very much for your help!

Lovely! That's for me personally a preferable choice anyway, so hopefully that will provide you the speed and privacy going forwards! Enjoy, —J.
