I installed FF44 but everytime I try to open the program it cannot connect to internet. After closing FF or after rebooting the computer FF can't connect to internet. Everytime again I need to install FF 44 to make it work properly.

hi, can you please see if uninstalling firefox 44 first and then installing the 64bit version from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ does solve this issue for you?
