My system runs Windows 7. When Firefox 3.6.6 automatically downloads and my system restarts, my Internet connection is severed. I cannot restore it without doing a system-restore to before the new version was installed.

This happened

Just once or twice

I have the same problem, but worse. System restore does not work so now I have no internet at all. I was connecting to the internet fine through a wireless network before the 3.6.6 upgrade...now I have no internet connection through the same wireless network. ipconfig shows that I'm not being served a DHCP address and instead am defaulting to 169.254.39.142. I too am using Windows 7, on a Dell Inspiron laptop.
