Use this link to check that your plugins are up-to-date. If any are listed as unknown or research, do not worry about them.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Do you run any security software on your Mac?

I changed a few network.dns settings in config, and it looks to work fine since. And defined "no proxy". No clue what I did... but looks ok now. Thanks JM - no I ran no security, and it didn't work either in safe mode
