When I open the Firefox browser, the only page that will display is "Unable to connect". I get the same page when I enter any other address. I uninstalled and then reinstalled the program, but it still does the same thing. I am not having a problem with the other browsers, Internet Explorer or Chrome.

It is possible that your firewall or other security software 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 and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
