I am using G Data Internet security. After installing Firefox 6.0 I can no longer load websites. In G Data I added Firefox 6.0 to the list of applications with permission for direct internet connection (in-outbound) in the section ´regelsets, but still it doesn´t work. If I´m not using the firewall in G Data, it works )but that is not really an option off course).

You need to allow for the loopback connection in Firefox, as an "outgoing" connection.
