Google search does not work - blank page
Hi,
I have a problem with Google search in Firefox: both the Google Default Search bar and the search via "www.google.com" do not return any results.
It appears as if I am on the Google website, but there are no results. And sometimes, Firefox suddenly crashes when I'm searching via the search bar.
I ran all the malware programs suggested by Mozilla to fix the problem, but nothing was found. I also cleared cache and cookies, started in safe mode and also re-installed Firefox, but nothing ist working.
Please help me with this issue!

I have found the root cause.
Firefox 26 is not compatible with W7 64 bit. See the screenshot.

Can you please post a screenshot? That will help us track down the problem.
Here you go...
Please answer the following questions:
- Are you sure this is not an internet connectivity issue?
- Have tried Google search from other browsers from the same pc?
I have faced this problem several times in different
browsers but for a short duration. One suggestion:
instead of http://www.google.com
for Google Search.
I am sure it is not an Internet connection problem, as I can search with google via Internet Explorer and other Browsers without a problem. Using https://google.com does not help. Instead, Firefox is crashing if I use the google search bar (it does so since a week or so, so its not a temporary problem).
This is the crash report:

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.
I will need some time to analyze that. Please also post your system details(os, ram etc.).
