This article covers why you would not be able to access any websites after upgrading Firefox. You may instead get "Unable to connect" or "Server not found" error pages.

• For situations unrelated to a Firefox upgrade, see Error loading web sites.

The cause

The most common cause of this problem is firewall software. Some firewalls silently block the updated version of Firefox from accessing to the Internet. Even if the firewall is supposedly disabled or uninstalled, it may still be active.

To fix it

1. Make sure your firewall is up-to-date.
2. If updating the firewall doesn't correct the problem, remove the Firefox entries and add them again.

Below are links to tutorials on configuring certain firewalls. Click on the tutorial for the firewall you are using.
