Question Anyone having trouble with Google?

We are having trouble with Google (it is our home page)

When I hit home from a site, Google doesn't load.

In the last 2 days it has loaded about 1/2 of the time I've requested.

I am wondering if it is Google or the new FF update we just got?

I can go directly to places by using the address bar or favorites.

I haven't noticed any issues on my desk top or the laptop {Linux Ubuntu on it}.

Default I have noticed the same thing

I've noticed the same thing, but like you, it's only been with FF. It seems to have started with the last FF update. I've even had it lock up the computer trying to load.

I don't have the problem with IE, so have gone to using that for the time being.

Is your FF the same as MY FF?

I play FFXI and we just did a huge update. I am wondering if you too play this game.

I am Dejibo on Bismarck server.

Thanks, everyone.... it does seem better today.

But it really crimped my searching on Google for a couple of days.

We have the newest update-- 3.6.2 just this week. I was thinking maybe the fix was not such a good fix!

I used Bing.com a bit, but I still like Google better.

I'm having difficulty with Google. It's a diff. type. When I do a search, okay, but when I try to search something else, Google wants to revert to the previously searched. I have to close the window, open a new one and then search. Each search, it's been like that for a while.

Default trouble with google searches too

I've been having issues with google searches as well but thought it was just me ... just NOW I updated to Mozilla 3.6.2 so it couldn't have been the "fix" to the upgrade.... Maybe just the upgrade itself? I'll try to pay attention to my searches today. TC

Did anyone see the April fools joke they played? They had some kind of contest for what city they would put up there instead of google on April fools TOPEKA won. I just installed a new program so I thought it was just me until I saw it on the nightly news.

Default google problems

What I find very annoying is that Mozilla blocks the Google toolbar from loading after a reboot.
It is there as an Add-on but won't load.
I have to download it afresh every time.
Seems like Mozilla don't support it.
