Firefox will prompt me to update. After the installation is complete, I cannot connect to the internet. I've checked the firewall and this is an allowed program. I do not have any proxy settings specified in firefox. I have to restore the earlier version before internet connection is allowed. How do I update firefox without having this problem?

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.
