I just finished updating from win 7 to win 10. But now Firefox cannot connect to the internet, edge can. I have Norton 360 installed. Firefox does load but only displays a blank page. Cannot get it to go out to a known website. Or do a search.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
