Hi Chris, It may be that your firewall is blocking Firefox. Try this article - Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program. Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
