Mozilla updated by itself and "Failed to Connect" Internet Explorer does the same.
I am experiencing same issue in XP. I keep Restoring to a previous time. Also I have tried adapting my Internet Connection and Network connections shows my usb Wireless dongle I am wondering if I need to turn off my Built in Network Card?I Turned off my Firewall and just unchecked my Firewall setting for My Network card . under my wireless properties
Mozilla updated by itself and "Failed to Connect" but Internet Explorer was working fine. I tried unblocking Mozilla Firefox from the Windows Firewall but it didn't help.
Later, my laptop went through Automatic Updates and now BOTH Internet Explorer AND Mozilla Firefox can't connect to the Internet. I know I'm connected, though, because I can sign on AIM and MSN. So I'm connected to the Internet but my browsers aren't. Help? Seems to be the new updates caused the problem. Please help!
