I just upgraded to the new version of firefox. Now I cannot get to any pages other than the about page and the trouble shooting page. Looking at the trouble shooting page it looks like my graphic driver might not be up to date with the new version. I will paste the trouble shooting page information below. I'm running vista home premium, which is not the best, but I've never had trouble with firefox before.

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.

Wow..thank you. Somehow Little Snitch had been set to deny all connections from Firefox. I feel like an idiot. Thanks!
