Just updated Firefox - now It will not connect to anything. I RESET firefox, rebooted the PC, disabled all extensions and changed the proxy settings to no proxy. IE working fine.

hello dbernarducci, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.
