How to remove www.googleadservices.com from my web searches.
When I go into Firefox to make a search, I'm continually getting the message:
"Unable to connect:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.googleadservices.com. 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."Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.googleadservices.com."
I've tried numerous ways & run different anti virus programs including my installed Norton AV. I have deleted all cookies & emptied the cache, but I'm still getting the same message. Please help!

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information such as bookmarks and history. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.
