I cannot get online from foxfire. My wifi is working since i have it on my ipad. is foxfire locked up so it cannot allow me to use a server to get on the internet. there is no connection. when i reset firefox to default maybe it did not set up right.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.
