STILL CAN'T LOAD ANY WEBSITES IN FF, ALTHOUGH NO PROBLEMS WITH IE OR AOL. I BELIEVE I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING SUGGESTED.

Mozilla FF page loads, but no websites whatsoever will open in FF. I've checked the No Proxy box, I've turned off my Windows Firewall. There is a Firewall for my Norton, but that's been there since day 1. One day I'm doing all of my FF things with no problem; the next morning I turn the computer on & nothing in FF will work. IE works fine; AOL works fine so my internet connection is not the issue. This is the message I get no matter what website I try to open (I also copied the troubleshooting text below this): Thank you for any help - this is truly driving me nuts!

Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.aol.com.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

An update: as mysteriously as this began last Fri., it fixed itself (apparently) today. I left my computer on when I went out early this afternoon after again trying to open all kinds of websites in FF with no luck. When I returned from my errands it was back to normal - able to open all websites again. Evidently, the firefox elves snuck into my house while I was out & fixed whatever the issue was. I'd love to know what!

hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all rules for firefox from your norton firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.
