Hi,

I am not able to connect to any website using Firefox when surfing using my ISP network. it only works when I am connected via a VPN.

Firefox was working fine before I reformatted my PC to reinstall Windows 10. I've tried using suggestions from

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can Tried every suggestions listed there. I just can't visit any website without turning on VPN when using Firefox.

I keep getting errors like

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at www.google.com. 

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Thanks for reading.

Hi ideato,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately safe mode with networking doesn't work. I suspect that I may be having a problem with my Windows 10 installation. MS Edge, IE11 and Google Chrome are not able to load Vudu webpage correctly.

Edge and IE11 shows me a blank page, and when I try to login, it'll give a login error message.

Chrome works on and off, pages will have no image displayed despite having images enabled for it.

I decided to save time and reinstall Windows 10 and see how it goes.

Thanks for your help!! it's appreciated.

Thank you.
