I just upgraded to 34.0.5 on my Desktp pc and Firefox wouldn't access any website. IE will so I know it's not my internet connection. My Anitvirus/internet security software is not blocking access. I tried a reset and that messed things up even further. Every time I try to access any website, the tab briefly shows "Connecting..." and then reverts right back to "New Tab" (blank). All the settings in Firefox appear to be correct. I hate it whenever there's a Firefox update, I've been a user for many years now and it seems like there's always a 50/50 chance it's going to work. Any ideas?

I'm having to post this question from my work computer since my home computer is where I'm having the problem.

hello cwayneb, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.
