    Hi,suddenly, my firewall tells me when I run Firefox that the browser tries to connect with:
    74.125.137.94
    173.194.219.10
    212.224.112.250

    This is absolute new, and if I block those addreses Firefox can't connect.
    The first and the second go to the google home page.
    The third goes to a site with this legend:
    SORRY: If you are the owner of this website, please contact your hosting provider..
    I don't own any website.

    I believe other addresses have requested connections but I didn't copy their numbers.

    I hope someone can tell why this is happening.
    Thanks

    yeah, read something this morning regarding google is no longer the default search engine for firefox, Mozilla are now using yahoo instead, I'm wondering if this is what is also causing the other problems mentioned recently?

    This is not happening when I use google. It happens when I open Firefox.

    maybe this happened to you because you add add-ons extension in Firefox

    some of those add-ons extension are responsible for this behavior

    like extensions for youtube and other stuff
