Hi guys, Firefox automatically updated my browser to the new 3.5.6 version and I am no longer able to access any sites. I tried starting firefox in safe-mode still nothing. Totally removing 3.5.6 and installing an earlier version didn't help either. Has anyone run into this issue and is there someway to fix this? TIA

I figured out the issue. Apparently this new version of Firefox does some "interesting" things if you are running client based firewall software (in my Symantec but also affects Mcafee, Norton, etc). The trick is to have Firefox removed from the approved programs allowed to go out on the internet and have it added again. Wish I knew this after installing/re-installing diff versions all morning LOL!!! as I have never had this happen in the three or so years I have been using Firefox.
