The usual explanation is a firewall, even the Windows one.
To check wether your XP is letting Firefox communicate with the world get into "Control Panel", open up the Security Center and if you look under the "exemptions" tab you should see Firefox. If not you can direct the S.C. to allow it by pointing to "Firefox.exe" which will be somewhere in your Program Files.
The same exemption should be used for any other firewalls you may have installed.
An easy re-install can be achieved but remember to connect to the net before installation, this way firewalls should detect a new programme and ask your persmission for it to do so.

Check your firewall settings are allowing outgoing and incoming connections for Firefox.

OK, uninstall Firefox. Reboot your computer. Reinstall Firefox. Reboot your computer. Then, it should work just fine.

If you have a firewall, allow firefox to go through it.
