Randomly one day, opened up firefox and it was unable to connect. I have gone to the support sites I have followed everything, yet nothing works. Internet Explorer works just fine so its not my connection. I have also uninstalled and re-installed the entire program it still doesn't work.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Did the problem appear after updating your version of Firefox? It could be your Firewall does not recognize the new version. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot+connect+after+upgrading+Firefox http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firewalls

I clicked on the 1st link. My McAfee was a little different. But I found where I needed to go, I played around with it a little, kind of had to explore on my own, clicked on something and now it works. Hopefully it'll continue to work when I shut down and turn it back on.
