Right, computer auto-downloaded firefox as it does but since installation of 2.0.0.9, firefox will no longer connect to any web pages. It says "Unable to connect - Firefox can't establish a connection with the server at ...". Everything worked fine with the last version I was running.

IE7 works fine, that's what I'm using just now. Any clues?

Under options and then connection settings, see if that looks right or not.

My firewall asks me if I still want to give it internet access every time I update and I accidentally clicked on no which did this. Had to go into my firewall and manually add it to the accepted programmes :thup:

done that already Joe,

Uninstall and re-install now then.

Right, I've gone through every tutorial I can find and it still won't work.

Any ideas anyone?

sorry to barge in on your thread ollie but on firefox i keep having to refresh pages/open them repeatedly in order to get them to load fully. searched on google and the only advice seems to be to try another profile but that doesn't help at all. anyone know wtf is going on?
