I have always used Firefox. Today it was unable to connect. Rebooted my computer AND the modem/router. Other computer on network CAN get on with Firefox. I can get on with Explorer. When I try Firefox window comes up with "Unable to connect ... Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.bing.com" (or any other URL).

Problem started after you updated Firefox? Your firewall may not recognize the new version of Firefox and won't allow it access to the internet.
