Hello!

I have Windows 7, and run Firefox Beta 36.0. I have it set to update automatically, and it seems there was an update yesterday, and now Firefox will not load any pages. 

I have tried changing the proxy settings, configuring the firewall, and restarting my computer; none of them worked. :(

After configuring the firewall, there are now two Mozilla Firefox programs shown (in the allowed programs and features list)? I had made sure to delete, then re-add them, but it made two Mozilla Firefoxes in the list appear. Not sure if this effects anything though.

Chosen solution

Ah, I figured it out by changing the firewall settings on Norton to allow for firefox and the firefox add-on, instead of auto. Hopefully putting the setting on allow instead of auto wont make me vulnerable to security threats!

I was about to cry haha, Chrome wouldn't download as I wanted to use it until I could find a solution, and I though I would be stuck with IE for forever. xD

Thanks, hopefully this will help others!
