Cannot use google search bar on my firefox home page_ connection to google fails / times out. Google searches need to be executed via my Comcast home page.

What is the home page? Is that the default build-in about:home page? If there is a problem with the build-in about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page. Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default. * Open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar * Type in the Filter bar: mstone * Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset * Close and restart Firefox See also: *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config If that didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.
