Tried opening FF this morning and it would load the home page, but none beyond that. It would not even go to a link from the homepage. I tried different sites, but it would just say connecting and NEVER load! My IE works fine (for IE anyway!) Anyone else having any issues? I tried to update FF and that didn't help either.

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.
