I can no longer load website through firefox updated (tho, I can thru other search engines and browsers) fixing proxy settings didn't work. Other ideas?
I upgraded recently my firefox browser on my home computer which still runs Windows XP. I can no longer find websites thru firefox, tho, I can load websites through a google or yahoo search.
The firefox browser won't download secure or unsecure site. I type in the full name of the site, and it just hangs. I do not receive an error message.
Internet explorer continues to work fine on the computer. I emptied my cookies and search history and updated the proxy setting to "no proxy". I still have the same problem.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall firefox with the hopes of changing the initial settings (to see if I should have disabled or abled more of the boxes). Unfortunately, the program didn't fully uninstall .. and the firefox reverts to where it was the last time I logged on.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.
