I use Firefox as my default browser and McAfee for security. Today, a popup asked whether I would allow Firefox to access the internet and I accidentally pressed 'no'. I've had to use Chrome to get to this website since Firefox won't connect to anything on the internet. How do I resolve this problem? My email is george@irvin.com
