So i have this problem, Firefox won't load when i connect with one wifi but when i change my connection to different wifi it'll work again. even though the first wifi works just fine on my computer seeing as i can connect to internet with a different browser.

Many programs can"phone home" for updates and such. Do these still work?


Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select Network. Look for Configure How Firefox Connects and press the Settings button. If you are using a proxy, make sure those settings are correct. If there is no proxy, first use No Proxy. If there is a problem, then try System Proxy.


Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
