Title: Firefox connection problems
Post by: AHadley on April 28, 2009, 02:03:59 PM
I know many of you are Firefox users, so I know this is the place to come with my troubles.

I installed the 3.0.10 update a few hours ago, and when I restarted Firefox is was suddenly unable to find a connection. I checked my router, all lights green, computer recognises connection. IE worked, so I checked google and it told me I might have a firewall problem, so I checked that Norton was off (I've got 360 and I hate its guts) and that AVG didn't have one in the first place. Windows Firewall had an exception that was pointing to the wrong place, but I fixed that and it still didn't work. Google also told me I can't roll back an update. I've tried uninstalling and redownloading/reinstalling Firefox too, no good.

I then tried to use Opera, which received its equivalent error. Didn't bother to check firewalls here, I assume it's the same problem.

IE wouldn't let me download Google Chrome. I'm not sure why, but I do know it's a piece of hoot. (IE, not Chrome, though thats too new to be that much good)

Has anybody else experienced this problem? Is there something I can do to fix it?

Eh, I'd suggest opening your ports, Im nost sure which ones, but almost everything these days requires you open ports

Are you sure? It worked fine before the update... and I have no idea which ports to open.

17770, 17771 & 17772 on both TCP and UDP.

Still haven't managed to get mine to open because it looks like virgin have put modded firmware on my router. grr at them.

BTW, Avast is better than AVG

AVG is free, and AFAIK Avast is not.

It's so amazingly simple I'm suprised I didn't think of it before. Just restart your PC :lol:
