I recently had a VERY freaky issue occur with Firefox on my laptop. For some reason it will no longer open ANY websites and says:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at en-us.start3.mozilla.com.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
The OS my laptop is Windows 7 64 bit
so far I have uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox and even reset the browser to defaults. It still wont open ANY sites. I thought maybe it was an issue with my network but the same thing happened when connecting to the internet at a friends house. Strangely enough Internet Explorer 8 will still open websites normally BUT now GOOGLE Chrome is giving me the same error msg.... Does anyone have any clue as to what might be causing this?
(Side note) I have also run a complete Virus scan and there are no infections on the computer + all other computers in the home can still use Firefox and Chrome normally
ANY advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated
