Can you please tell us more about what happens when you try? Do you get an error? What does it say? Do the sites work in other browsers?

Absolutely NOTHING happens. I am lefy with a blank white page, no error message. The same sites work perfectly in Safari and Opera.

Did you check the firewall to make sure that it isn't blocking Firefox?
