Firefox 37.0.1 worked fine last night but today it times out and can't connect. All features function and connection is five bar. Tried disabling all add-on and re-install Firefox. No luck. IE works and I don't get any error message except that when I close FF and then restart it A message says FF is still running and needs to close old data. HG

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select Network. Look for Configure How Firefox Connects and press the Settings button. If you are using a proxy, make sure those settings are correct. If there is no proxy, first use No Proxy. If there is a problem, then try System Proxy.

hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.
