Why is my Mac not allowing me to browse Search Engines?

Folks,


Over the past two days I can no longer hit a search engine webpage (yahoo, bing, google is all I have tried) directly from any browser Safari, FireFox, Chrome in the URL field on my Macbook running OSX 10.8.4. I haven't changed any network settings either on my router or macbook to cause this change. The odd time a search will load in google through the browser, but when I try and click a link in the results it will not load the link.


I've also tried resetting the modem and router a few times, no issues with internet service to the house, also tried my cell phone and MacMini which have no issues visiting the sites above.


Driving me nuts, as I get my work done on my Macbook.


Anybody know why?


Thanks!

Just an edit to the above...

Should read....


The odd time a search will load in the FireFox browser google toolbar plugin, but when I try and click a link in the results it will not load the link.
