Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Note that Firefox 10.0.1 is really old (there is a 10.0.2 release and a 10.0.12 ESR)

If she installed Firefox herself then check for the presence of a mozilla.cfg file (or netscape.cfg) in the Firefox installation folder. Otherwise you have to check this with the IT department or the people that provide support for this computer.

was autoconfig set up on purpose / is this in a controlled enterprise environment?
