Default Won't connect


Why do I do this? Updated 1.50 to 1.5.07. Now I can't connect to the
internet. It opens the page but finally says can't connect. Using IE it
DOES connect. Please advise and also the best way to delete and
reinstall this version without losing ny extensions.

Thank for you help
Linda Jean

IE works because it hasn't changed. FF has, and your firewall is not
configured to grant access to it. Simply configure it to allow FF to
access the internet. This article should give you guidance.

Hard to say why, what kind of firewall are you running?
