Firefox No Longer Works

Hello, about a week or so ago, Firefox has stopped working. All I get is "Problem loading page: Connection has timed out". This has been my default browser for years and have never had this problem. At first I thought it was the internet connection, but IE, Chrome, and Safari browsers all work. I loaded the upgrade hoping that would fix it, but still no. I also "Reset Firefox" as per Troubleshooting help. That still didn't work. Any thoughts?

hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.
