I have both Firefox and Edge installed. When I search something a page comes up like usual, but if I click on a link it times out. If I click on a link it goes nowhere but if I click on a "people also search for" at the bottom of a google page it takes me there.
Haven't made any changes that I know of. Happens in both browsers. I've tried resetting things, would reinstalling windows be the smartest move?

totally confused here.
Let's start with FF.
Start FF and go to settings and make it the default.
.. what search engine are you using in FF?
1 screenshot of search
2 screenshot of page with link and link you clicked on.
