Since today's Mozilla update, I've been unable to access any websites using Mozilla. I get a New Tab" blank page or now after trying several troubleshooting solutions from the Mozilla website I only get the Mozilla Firefox start page with no change whenever I try any favorite, previous website, or even when typing in a new website??? Frustrating

Note that it is possible that your firewall or other security software blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
