Hello I just bought a new laptop and downloaded Firefox and installed it. I tried to go ahead and use it and no web site would open, it would say connecting.... I then went back to IE and that too would not open any website. I uninstalled Firefox and IE now works again. I did this twice and the same results. Using Win 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11 I hope you can help thank you

hi billlty, which security software are you using? sometimes such issues are caused by a firewall which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.
