I had the same problem when i dl-ed a new anti-virus softward, but what I did help me reconnect Firefox again! Here is what I did, Go to open firefox browser-->option-->advanced-->network-->settings-->and change it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network!

It worked for you, hope it will work for you too =)!


Cheers
