It has a verisign certificate valid from 2007 to 2010.

When trying to open a google window, nothing happens and Firefox tells 
me it cannot make a connection.

Direct access to tools.google.com is refused as shown here:

@ DrJohn: [quote]Check your router. Without knowing its make, it's hard 
to give general instructions but try to find a blocked sites list.
If you can't do that, can you borrow another machine which you can
connect through your router?[/quote]

I have controlled my modem/router (Eminent EM456x; 
www.eminent-online.com) which seems all right. URL Filter lists are 
empty and/or disabled.

Thoughts up till now:
IT seems to me that either google is blocked at the firewall but I have 
yet been able to find where the mentioned 'black list' is hidden, or 
firefox is blocking google.
