Hi All Since yesterday I can not use my search bar anymore. Whatever phrase I type I always get "Problem loading page" Firefox can't establish a connection. I have Google.de saved as a bookmark, from there everything is loading fine. Also from google.co.uk the search bar is working normal. What is going on??

What is your current location?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Hi Fred Thanks for the suggestion but sadly does not help. Even in safe mode with add-ons disabled. I can search in everything: bling, Yahoo, google. co.uk, / ...de/ ect but not in google.com. However I think it has to do with a malware "flash player PRO" As request for "redirect" leads to this site. (This has nothing to do with Adobe flash player)
