Answer 1

Did you try to change Firefox's connection settings? Start Firefox. On the menu bar: Tools > Options > Advanced tab > Network > click [Settings] > select "Direct Connection to Internet" > [O.K.] > [O.K.]. If you are using the Switchproxy extension, you should remove it or at least turn it off.
