I have tried everything, but for some reason when I open Firefox, I can't access any websites. I can access everything through IE.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

See:

Can you start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift/Options key?
