All my other browsers are working, but Firefox says it cannot connect. There is no problem with my network connections at all

Firefox is the only browser that cannot connect to the internet. Explorer and Chrome are connecting fine. I have contacted my internet provider and all is fine, they could not figure it out and said it MUST be a problem with Mozilla.

After an upgrade, sometimes your firewall will not recognize a new Firefox version; your firewall is just doing its job. In your firewall application, remove Firefox from the approved applications list, then go to a website using Firefox, let your firewall detect the new version and give Firefox the permissions necessary in your firewall to allow Firefox to connect to the internet.
