cant access search engines anymore. it always comes up with: bad request, invalid hostname
for some reasen my laptop started to connect to the internet via my univerisities proxy server. today, however, web sites didnt load at all, instead it said: cant connect to proxy server. so i changed the network/proxy settings by deselecting 'use a proxy server for your lan'. consequently i was able to acces most web sites, apart from search engines. if i try to do so, it always comes up with: bad request, invalid hostname. what can i do?

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.
See "Firefox connection settings":
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
- Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
