No matter what I change in the connection settings the following pops up on my screen. HELP!!!

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at support.mozilla.org. 

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Some problems occur when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
  • Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}

Could you provide information please about the system this is happening on ie Win 10, 8,7, XP, Mac OS . What version Firefox this is happening with. What Extensions/Ad-ons do you have ? Are you running latest version of Flash. Is your Video Drivers updated and current.

Is this happening to all websites or just this one ?
