I deal with a few shopping sites-when they email me I have to click on a tab in their email-it then SHOULD open the shopping message in Firefox-instead I get a firefox popup saying cannot connect--this has only occured since updating firefox [ I get all other sites !] I have checked my firewall its not blocking. my email provider is outlook express

I have almost gone nuts trying to solve this-BUT-I was looking at my firewall to make sure ff was excepted & it occurred to me to switch off the firewall & try Lo & behold the problem was gone-so I turned firewall on-then lowered the level of intensity and it SEEMS to be O.K [not happy to lower level though ] Thanks to you all for assistance -Tonyatfox
