Hello. The earlier version of Firefox I had been using successfully for over one year recently would no longer operate. When I clicked attempted to launch it, I received an Error Message: Server not found Firefox can't find the server at www.\'a.com So, I have just now uploaded Version 17, but am still encountering the same Error Message I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but can someone suggest what what that might be? Thank you. Note, I use Safari as my principal web browser - and this still is working just fine. I sell on eBay and because there is an incompatibility between eBay and Safari with respect to the uploading pf photos, i have in particular depended on Firefox for this task.

Is there any firewall running on your computer that may be blocking internet access?
