I am fairly new to using Firefox. When I got a popup asking to connect Firefox, I accidentally blocked Firefox completely. I don't know where to start to get it back. I don't want to lose all my favorites. Help!

Thank you.

If it was your firewall asking you wether to allow firefox to connect then you can change this in windows7 by going to start>control panel>system and security. Under Firewall click allow a program through windows firewall.

If you cant run firefox full stop, go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

Firefox should run.

Good Luck
