All of a sudden for the last week or so Firefox would not retrieve Google searches in the URL, Google home page or even if I typed Google dot com in the URL. I can get the Google page, but would only get "connecting to" spinning activity Firefox in the tab when putting in say "dog". I always use Firefox Beta with NoScript for the last 4 years with ZERO issues and I am online daily.

I uninstalled Firefox with App Zapper and manually pulled everything Mozilla out of the root library. I tried reinstalling normal Firefox and Beta Firefox and the minute I install NoScript Google search is dead on any Firefox. I have tried this 4 times.

I Skip installing NoScript and install all my other extensions, Ghostery, AdBlock Edge, Bit Defender Trafficlight, and Better Piracy and Google search still works. I install NoScript and it takes out Google search. I even try to uninstall NoScript and reboot Firefox and Google search is still dead.

Any ideas??

Just came back after leaving the computer and Google search does not work. Looks as if it is not a direct link to NoScript. It could be, but not 1 for 1. I don't have time to just load Firefox alone with NO extentions to see what happens I will try that later today.

What sites appear on the NoScript menu?

Is there anything in the Browser Console when the problem occurs?

When you tried installing extensions one at a time, did you try installing just NoScript, or did you only install it after installing everything else? It's possible that there is a conflict between two extensions.

I re downloaded Firefox Beta again. Installed it and Google worked until I shut Firefox down and restarted it. Then Google was broken. No extensions or bookmarks were added. I think this is a Firefox forums issue, but I will take any ideas.

Then it wasn't NoScript, I guess. Not much I can suggest, except that the stable Firefox release should work.
