Yesterday Firefox did an automatic update. I was in a hurry out the door when I chose what I think was the wrong option. The options were., "Allow Always, "Allow only Once, or "Do Not Allow". I either chose allow only once, or do not allow because now I cannot connect to any server through Mozilla Firefox. How do I fix this problem?

Was that a message from your firewall?

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.
