Shortly after a scheduled update from McAfee I lost internet connection for Firefox. The McAfee may just be a coincidence as I have other computers that have the same programs and they are not having this issue.

I have reset, cleared cache, uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox and still nothing. Oddly enough my McAfee will not connect to the internet for any updates as it seems to be somehow connected to Firefox.? I have had McAfee remote in and uninstall and reinstall both programs to no avail. My internet explorer is working fine/no issues.

If you disable McAfee, does Firefox connect?

No it does not work, uninstalled both McAfee and Firefox and only reinstalled Firefox alone, still did not work. I have now both reinstalled and am still unable to connect
