Hello!

If your using Internet Explorer try this!!

The issue could occur if you’re using a proxy server. Disable proxy server and check if that fixes the issue.

Follow these steps:

a.    Open Internet Explorer.

b.    Click the “Tools” button, and then click “Internet Options”.

c.    Click the “Connections” tab, and then click “LAN settings”.

d.    Uncheck the “Use a proxy server for your LAN check box”.

e.    Select and check "Automatically detect settings" under "Automatic Configuration"

Hello! Does your Firefox look like this. Also you could be infected with malware.

What Anti-Virus do you use.

Try scanning with the free version of Malwarebytes!

https://www.malwarebytes.org/

Also right click on the progression bars and run the trouble shooter.

Hello!!

 

If it has automatically checked itself again you may be looking at a malware infection.

If malwarebytes doesn't fix your issue, you might want to open a topic in the malware section here on the forum.

Also try HelpMeHelpYou suggestion!

You may also reset Mozilla Firefox browser settings. It may just fix your problem

Sorry!!

1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
