I did all the required things to make this work but i still can't connect to any web page. I'm using McAfee antivirus program and i removed "Firefox" from the list of internet connections for programs. Tried on that way, then i removed it and added it back to the list but none of this seems to work. And is it possible to turn auto updates off on Mozilla, cause none of this would happen if there weren't your useless every week updates.

I'we tried all those options and now is officialy a month without mozzila. I'm really sorry guys i tried everything and i really want to use mozilla but after that not-wanted by me UPDATE that destroyed everything. For no reason i can't ever possibly use mozilla and all i get from you is to change proxy settings(???) What does proxy have with mozilla and internet connection?
