Unable to Connect message appears for every website. IE works fine. I believe the problem has something to do with the Firefox update notification I got this morning. I uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox and the problem persists. I tried the restart without add-ons, still doesn't work. What's next?

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

Well I think the firefox update messed with my security program and things needed to be uninstalled/reinstalled. It might be a good idea for new Firefox updates not to be so troublesome for the user. Not everyone is interested or skilled in fiddling with programs etc. tiresome.
