We have a wireless connection and that appears to be working, but all the sudden when we click on firefox the internet doesn't come up and it just says "the connection has timed out".

Hello mm6soups,

Had similar problems using a Siemens router. The hardware firewall of the router was to sensitive and often blocked Firefox from the internet. After lowering the firewall settings of the router Firefox has normal access to the internet.

Hope this helps, Websafe.
