    some a risk motives/recommendations: a million) you're no longer linked to the information superhighway. 2) Your firewall is obstructing Firefox. once you turn the firewall off can Firefox connect? 3)you have "paintings Offline" chosen. flow into the 'document' menu (on the ideal of the browser) and uncheck 'paintings offline" 4) Are your Firefox connection settings appropriate. flow to 'techniques' -- 'strategies' -- 'more desirable' -- 'community' and verify them.

    "make sure the settings"-- U need to overview the security settings on the firewall or other spyware program u have in place. The popup blocker and the Flash player may also have a bearing on the lack of connectivity. Try going to the computer>internet tools>login or the setting that has the security level for Internet and drop it down a notch.

    Source(s): I've been running all the MSN products since the PackardBell and the older '286 machins and this is just a simple popup or scurity setting or a 3rd party program that that dosn't recognise firefox.

    Make sure Firefox's proxy settings match IE's.
