what you can try
It appears you sre connected to the Internet but you might want to try
to reconnect to the Internet,
Retype the address
Go back to the previous page

by Mozilla firefox this message comes on

Whenever I do a search, the results come up, but when I click on a link I get this message from Firefox:

Unable to connect             
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at croozybannir.com. (THIS IS NOT THE PAGE I"M TRYING TO ACCESS - it's a random page out of nowhere)

    *   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.

it seems to go to this link, page, web site
and this blocks it

croozybannir.com


please advise

thanks

So you are saying you cannot go to specific websites, but otherwise your internet connection is fine?


Try to ping a website to check that your computer's connection to the internet is able to reach google.com (google  should be working) .

Click Start
Click Run
Type "command" and press enter.

The DOS window will pop up. At the C:\WINDOWS> prompt type ping www.google.com and press enter.

You will see some results pass through the screen.
What do you see? Do you see anything about a reply from and 0% packet loss and such? That should be normal. But if you're not getting that, it's weird.

Then to close the DOS window, type exit at the C:\WINDOWS> prompt and press enter.

If that's all normal, then  maybe you'll want to try resetting IE or making a new firefox profile.

And lastly, if then that doesn't help, you may have a malware or something on your pc needs taken care of.

That's what I think, hopefully it'll help.

If you're still stuck, maybe someone else has a better idea

I think you should check your setting from browser tools option !!

Some virus manipulates or hijacks the web browser causing to block websites. But please do 1st their recommendation above and post the result of your testing.

If when you opened the IE page and it said IE cant display the web page,
try this;
Go to control panel, network and internet, internet options, on the internet properties windosw, youll have some options, on the first one that is general, you have the option to delete cookies, then go to connections, and there is an option tha said Dial up and virtual private network settings, there must not be any network, it must be empty, then pressed on the same option where u are, connections, the lan settings option and check if there is an option marked where said proxy server, there must not be any check marked, and at last optimized your browser, go to the last option advanced and click on reset,
it works to me........
