I have used Firefox as my browser for years. For the past month or so I get a message saying: "Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at my.xfinity.com. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. 

    (NOTE: THE SITE IS AVAILABLE; I AM ABLE TO CONNECT WITH IE. )

If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. 

    (NOTE: MY COMPUTER IS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET.)

If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy,, make sure that FIrefox is permitted to access the Web." 

    (NOTE: FIREFOX IS PERMITTED TO ACCESS THE WEB THROUGH MY FIREWALL.)

What can I do to get Firefox to connect as in the past? If I uninstall and reinstall, will I lose all my bookmarks? Thanks for any help, Cathie

I got in with your link. Try this first;

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

  • Clear the Cache and
  • Remove Cookies
    Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to.

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

  • Cookies; Select Privacy. Under History, select Firefox will Use Custom Settings. Press the button on the right side called Show Cookies. Use the search bar to look for the site. Note; There may be more than one entry. Remove All of them.
  • Cache; Select Advanced > Network. Across from Cached Web Content, Press Clear Now.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;

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

Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Then restart.

What type of message have you been getting?
