For the past approximate 4 months after an upgrade to Firefox, everytime I try to connect from home page to a web site, the message "Firefox can't find the server at "url"". Click try again and Firefox connects to url.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.
