last night while checking google news, I did a refresh and nothing happened. quit firefox, re-started, and home page which is google news did not cocme up.

restarted computer and still firefox won't connect.

however, IE 9 did. Has IE 9 got some blocking function?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly 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 and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
