fire fox problems

I get this error:

# 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.

THis happens every time i try to run Fire fox. Any help?

 

Guess the first question is can you get out on IE?, If you can then check to see if indeed your Firewall is allowing FF, and what Firewall are you using??..........Guess what I am trying to say is we need a little more info

 

Standard windows firewall and is letting FF run. IE does work but has aol explorer so yahoo dosent work.

Im trying to help a friend on this and its very hard to understand him since not very computer literate. lol

 

If you mean the WinXP firewall, it doesn't block outgoing connections - so that eliminates the firewall as the problem. Unfortunate, since that would be easy to fix. Several other possibilities, see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_websites
