Firefox can't connect to Google.com
Firefox 46.0.1, Power Mac 3.0, OS X Yosemite It is possible to connect to any other site, but not to google.com
I already followed some tips found in this forum: -Delete recent history -No proxy option -Refresh Firefox -Uninstall/Install
After I delete recent history it can connect to google.com, but once the history entries start to increase (after two or three times I make a search with google.com) the tabs says "Connecting..." and the bottom status bar "Waiting for www.google.com... but nothing happens.
I can search with Yahoo.com or go to any other site, but not google.com (Firefox) I have Google Chrome and Safari installed and I don´t have any connection problems with them I can ping to google.com:
21 packets transmitted, 21 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 17.620/17.834/18.292/0.148 ms

What security software do you have?
Did you make sure that your security software isn't blocking access?
You can also check for malware.
I don´t have an antivirus installed. If I restart Firefox I can go to google.com once, just once, after that, the same: "Connecting..." and "Waiting for www.google.com..." and nothing again.
Did you try to search for malware?
Create a new profile to test if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
Thanks for your replies. I tried the creating a new profile suggestion, but nothing worked. I gave up. I'm giving Vivaldi a chance right now.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).
Is the problem still there?

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
