Firefox 7.0.1 cannot find any net pages, so it does not work!
When installing Firefox 7.0.1 it cannot find any net pages, but runs and runs searching but cannot find. I had the same problem with latest versions of Firefox 6, but then Firefox 7.0 fi worked. I have tried to update 7.0.1 several times, both fi and US, I have uninstalled first 7.0 and then after restart installed 7.0.1 several times, but always the same problem. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate in Finnish.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I uninstalled Firefox 7.0, removed all items at the firewall (F-Secure Client Security) cleaned the registry with jv16 Power Tools 2011, restarted the computer and installed Firefox 8.0. It could not find any net pages, but when I added Firefox to F-Secures list allowing it in and out it started to work. Fine!
