I am able to connect to all search engines, but I can't connect to Google. It says "Problem loading page".

When I go to Google's search engine, its not able to download the page. The following message is given: The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few 

   moments.
 If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
   connection.
 If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
   that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

May be your internet speed goes down, or there is problem with your firefox version you have to install the newest version of firefox at mozilla.org/downlaod or

You have to use google dns which is free available some times your isp block the site and with this its run ok.
