I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. However when I type in a web address it won't come up {ex -gmail.com}. I know it is not my interenet since the page will open fine in IE. This is the message I get when I try to open a page : Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at accounts.google.com. 



 The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
   moments.
 If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
   connection.
 If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
   that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

hello, the most likely cause is a firewall/security program preventing firefox from accessing the internet. see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet for information on how to configure them correctly.

also make sure that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet in firefox > options > advanced > network > connection - settings... in there "no proxy" should be selected for normal use cases.

Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can
