Firefox & Opera, unable to connect?


Recommended Posts

after i got my automatic update for firefox 2.0 rc3, and restarted it after it updated, it would no longer work.

the only browser that works is internet explorer.. i just downloaded opera 9.02, and that too is unable to connect to any sites. i don't know whats going on, any ideas?

Do you have a proxy?? from 2.0 i think firefox no longer looks at internet explorers setting to discover proxys, as theres a proxy setting in the configuration. and also for opera there should be a proxy setting somewhere.

Do you connect to the Internet though a proxy server, or do you have a software firewall installed that could be blocking Opera and Mozilla access to the Internet? Are you having problems with any other Internet applications like IM clients and download managers?
