Firefox suddenly stopped connecting to internet websites. I use McAfee anti-virus with their firewall. McAfee whitelists Firefox but I removed it from the whitelist and then put it back. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing with no change. I've removed all add-ons. I'm having to use a different browser but I want Firefox back.

Did you contact McAfee support?

Yes I did. they looked at my computer remotely and finally concluded that McAfee was not the problem and that the problem was most likely in Firefox itself.

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
