Nate Archibald Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 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?

Joey L Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 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.

+virtorio MVC Posted October 17, 2006 MVC Share Posted October 17, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Archibald Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 nope... i don't connect through a proxy server, and i don't have any type of firewall installed, and no i am not having problems with any other internet applications, it seems to just be opera, and firefox...

Raa Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Have you tried using Maxthon? Could be worth a shot... Linky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Archibald Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Yes, I have that on here, but my main browser is firefox, so i need that fixed rather than a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
