I have been using Firefox v happily for a long time now, however, after upgrading to Version 1.5 on my laptop it has lost the ability to access the internet!
Some additional info:
the laptop connects to the web via a wireless LAN,
firefox DOES load but displays the 'Page cannot be loaded' screen
at the time of my upgrade, I also installed MSN messenger
Also I reactivated IE
THis program too cannot access the internet - I have tried a sysem restore and uninstallation/reinstallation to no avail - any ideas?
NB - there is a high percentage chance that it could be ports related : which ports need to be open for the 2 programs to work. - OH another fact - IE still runs and can access internet.
