Hello,

If you were able to load websites until you updated Firefox, your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is likely preventing Firefox from connecting to the Internet.

This problem occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted.

Hi, Please elaborate on internet security settings. Is it in firefox settings, or in the internet options. I have avast antivirus and it is being updated regularly. I am using firefox beta and it is also getting updated. I have made firefox to work , by enabling the same program in firewall(windows), by add this program to firewall menu.

                      While other browsers immediately opens the link, this firefox gives anticlock and clock wise taking time to get to the link or proplem loading server or server not found.
