I updated to FF 3.6 two days ago and since then it's unable to connect to the internet. I downloaded Opera and I get the same unable to connect message. IE is the only one that works, but I absolutely hate it. I've researched the problem and have tried everything to no avail. I checked my firewall settings, I have no virus protection installed so that's not a problem. I uninstalled FF, reinstalled...same thing. I did a system restore to a previous date and FF won't even launch when I do that. Other than reinstalling Windows, I'm at my wits end. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried creating a new profile? Sometimes the old one is corrupted. I had to do this.

darkknight91,
You said you have no anti virus installed. Very dangerous, just a firewall is not enough protection.

Which version of Windows are you using?

Reboot, using F8 to get to Advanced Boot Options. Choose Safe Mode With Networking. Answer Yes to any additional prompts.

Go to Control Panel and make sure the Windows firewall is enabled, then reset it as shown below.

Now try surfing with IE and Opera.
