It seems that this started happening after the Firefox 3.6.8 update was installed (Fri, 7/23/10)...I'm unable to open any sites using Firefox, but have no problems with Internet Explorer. I checked my Windows Firewall settings and Mozilla Firefox is listed as an exception.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

the Firefox 3.6.8 upgrade was installed.

User Agent

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET4.0C)

Your Firewall does not recognize the new version of Firefox and is blocking it from connecting. Clear all instances of Firefox from your Firewall programs list. Let your Firewall re-detect the new version of Firefox and give Firefox the necessary permissions in your Firewall.
