Mozilla Firefox Issue

alexrjohnson · 12-09-2005, 08:36 PM

I have a problem with Mozilla Firefox. I was using version 1.0.7, and then updated it to version 1.5. When I did that, my internet stopped working all together, even through Internet Explorer! I checked the IP addresses and stuff, those didn't change. What was even weirder, my laptop still worked and connected through the router. I tried disconnecting the router and plugging the ethernet cord directly into the desktop, but that didn't work either. My only solution was to system restore to two days ago before I installed the update. Wha La! Internet worked again. For curiousity and a few kicks, I installed the update for Mozilla on my laptop, which I'm not sure what version of Mozilla that uses. Same issue with my laptop, I got nothing while the desktop still was able to connect. I even called my ISP and they had no clue other than going back and trying to sell me some security garbage that I don't need. And yes, I made sure to disable any firewall n such because I don't use them period, just my latest version of Ad-Aware

. Any ideas?

It works perfectly for me, I just got version 1.7 and runs smoothly. What OS do you run?
