I registered to say thanks to thubleau in this reponse, as it fixed weeks of frustration for , in the hope it helps someone else. However, I did the opposite of their sugestion.

What worked for me was: Options Type in Network Proxy top left Click on settings as the search reveals Network proxy Select O Auto-detect proxy settings for this network OK

My settings are auto detect proxy or no proxy usage so now sure what your network settings are like but I believe I didn't set any proxy for my Browser usage and it works without problem.
