Try to check your anti-virus/Firewall settings. Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet

We've seen such issues reported with F-Secure Browser Protection, but you may have other software installed that causes this.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works any better.
