It automatically upgraded the other night and I have since been offline with my new HP computer. I am writing this on a laptop that encountered no problems with the upgrade. I am just wondering if anyone else encountered a similar problem and what the fix might be. I checked my firewall and allowed Firefox but this is not getting me online. Can anyone help? I also rebooted router, modem and my pc.

Since the upgrade, I can't get online with IE, Netscape or Firefox.

I'm using it right now and I'm not having any problems. Have you tried IE to make sure its not just your computer. If IE has a problem too it might just be your computer. Otherwise I would go to the firefox site through IE and search FAQ or just delete FireFox entirely and reinstall it.
Oh, Random reminded me that I had trouble viewing a site with the new FireFox. Even some sites that recognize the old FireFox don't recognize it after the upgrade. I just go to the site that's having trouble, click on the tools tab at the top of the FireFox browser, and click IE options. It allows you to view that site in IE without closing the browser. I hope you get it worked out though, because IE sucks compared to FireFox

Is this problem on just one site or is it on multiple sites? Remember there are sites that don't work in FIreFox. Do you have different operating systems on each computer? You said that you have a new computer, it probably has Vista on it. There are programs that are not compatable with Windows Vista, Firefox may be one.
The websites that don't work with Firefox, you will need to open in Explorer.

I have been using Firefox on a new HP laptop with Vista and IE installed and so far (about a week) have had no problems.

The only problem I'm having is that sites such as CNN, etc don't recognize that I have a video player installed. In order to view them I need to open IE.
