My firefox web browser is no longer working. Every time I try to search the internet I get an error message that says "cannot connect to the server."
I use Firefox as my default web browser on my Apple computer. I have many bookmarks, links and school related material that I can no longer access because an error message says that it cannot connect to the Firefox server. Please help. I'm a teacher and I can not get to my student material. I can not conduct any searches or click any links.

Some problems occur when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
- Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
- Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
