To start.
1. Firefox 2.0 was running. It worked fine
2. It ran a security update automatically.
3. It no longer works. I get a "cannot establish connection" or "cannot find server" message. There is little to no downtime when finding this.
Computer is an Dell laptop behind a netgear WPN824v2 router.
Some notes:
I have reinstalled firefox with the latest version from firefox.org twice. Both times with no success.
IE 6.0 still works fine to connect. In fact, i am posting from the problem computer with IE 6
It doesnt matter whether the laptop is conencted wirelessly or with a wire
I have tried turning off all security settings on the router.
I have had other problems with the router opening ports for different applications[eve-online, port 26000, unable to forward or trigger said port, unable to ping self on port(but will ping self on port 80)]
I have tried changing the way firefox connects[its a direct connection], but to no avail.
I have tried updating the firmware of the router, but to no avail.
Please help me, i want my firefox back
edit: Installed Latest version of Opera with the same results. Wont find anything on the internet.

What did i do? Nothing i hadnt done before. When did it start working? I havent a clue.
But it works now.
I had this exact same problem a few months ago.
I was about to post the suggestion of 'just wait it out'.
I have no idea what went wrong or how it got fixed.
