Firefox Firewall Configuation
|
After updating and installing PC Guard which I had previously used for the best part of two years, I now find myself unable to use Firefox to access anything on the web, I keep getting the site not found message.
The only firewall that is currently running is my Windows XP one as when I try to start up PC Guard I immediately get a message saying that I am not connected to the net.
However I can access just about anything I want using Internet Explorer....!
Does anyone have any idea why I cannot use firefox at the moment and how do I configure my XP firewall to allow it to browse
Thanks

It's probably best to check out the Mozilla Knowledge Base suggestions before thinking further. The solution may be written there.
Here is a page about firewall pitfalls and configuring various firewalls.

Thanks for the reply mate!!
Finally managed to get to the root of the problem - when I uninstalled Symantec firewall it left traces of its firewall on my system which blocked Firefox, am happy to say that I narrowed it down to this program and deleted it and everything sprang back into life for me again.
Once again thanks for your imput
