Default firefox not working for anyone else?

I've been searching the web, and cannot find any info. I haven't been able to get firefox to load a website on my laptop all day. It loads fine on my desktop, and opera works fine on my laptop. I just talked to someone else who is having the same problem. Is there an issue with a Firefox update?

I checked my firewall settings (comodo) and it's allowed access. I checked connection options in advanced settings.

lol. If Firefox broke, the info would be out there when you searched.

It's working fine for me.

Well it works on one computer for me.

I searched their site and did everything they suggested.

It's crazy, it worked yesterday.

Agree. Actually I'd go to Tools > Clear Private Data and clear out everything. Restart Firefox and see what happens. I'll be surprised if it doesn't work after doing a full cleaning.

Ok, it seemed to be a Comodo issue, this time I opened FF, and Comodo came up with the "Allow or Deny" box and I allowed, and everything is fine. Yesterday, the box wouldn't come up, and I ensured FF was allowed access in Comodo.

When you update Firefox, most firewalls think that it's a different program (due to the .exe having a different signature), so you must re-allow it to access the Internet. (Unfortunately, sometimes you're not prompted to do this and must do it manually.)
