-> Do a MALWARE check with these Malware Scanning programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you UPDATE each program to get the latest version of their Databases before doing a Scan. Also, Close All other Applications (softwares) before Starting to Run Scans.

DID NOT HELP WAS NOT THE ANSWER. CAN NOT USE MOZELLA . I HATE IE BUT I HAVE TO USE IT . UNLESS SOME ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT
The main cause of not being able to connect to internet after a Firefox update has been due to software Firewall blocking the new firefox exe yet may stll b e allowing the older version.
Also on the Internet, typing in all CAPS is considered shouting ;)
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 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.

the program does not load . the screen opens i try to lick on any thin and i get (not responding) I CAN NOT DO ANY OF YOUR SEGESTIONS BECAUSE IT WILL NOT FULLY LOAD. NONE OF THE SEGESTIONS I HAVE RECIEVED DOES ANY THING AT ALL
AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO OPEN IN SAFE MODE.
-> Close Firefox (click Firefox button and click Exit OR File Menu -> Exit)
- OR press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC keys to open Task Manager -> Processes tab -> right-click firefox.exe and click End Process Tree -> close Task Manager
-> Start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down SHIFT key while starting Firefox
- As an alternative method, use Win + R key combination and enter one of the following in the Windows Run box:
- firefox -safe-mode
- "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
-> Firefox Safe Mode window will appear -> DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click Continue in Safe Mode
-> Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
-> "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error - How to fix
-> Profile in use
Check and tell if its working.

THE ISSUE IS THAT FOXFIRE DOES NOT RESPOND AFTER IT OPENS. TRYIED THE SAFE MODE SAME RESULTS TRIED UNINSTALL AND RE INSTALL DOES NOT WORK. IT OPENS AND WHEN I CLICK ON ANY THING IT DOES NOTHING BUT: "(NOT RESPONDING)" APPEARS AFTER THE PROGRAM TITAL AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN.
