I installed ubuntu 16.04 on a HP labtop. Right now, I can get access to wifi. For instance, ping 104.16.33.249 will return as

PING stackoverflow.com (104.16.33.249) 56(84) bytes of data
64 bytes from 104.16.33.249: icmp_seq=9  ttl=55  time=196 ms

However, when opening "stackoverflow.com" from firefox browser, the firefox returns as "server not found". Moreover, when trying to ping stackoverflow.com, the return is ping: unknown host stackoverflow.com. May I know how to solve it. After searching different forums, looks like I need to change the /etc/resolv.conf This is the current output of this file,

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by      resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
  nameserver 8.8.8.8
  nameserver 127.0.1.1

But it does not solve this problem either. Thank you for the help.
