271120 - Mozilla Firefox 1.0 cannot load any pages - "mozilla.org could not be found"

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Larry]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 

Have used Mozilla 0.9 without problems and just upgraded to 1.0.  Now, 
unfortunately, nothing works.  No pages will open, even the homepage, 
mozilla.org, google.com, yahoo.com, etc.  This automatically lost 0.9 for me 
as well.
Have uninstalled, re-downloaded, and reinstalled several times, all to no 
avail.  Rest of computer functions appear normal at this time. Don't want to 
return to IE, but what can I do next?  
Loved 0.9, sorry I got mixed up in 1.0.  Keep up the good work, waiting to 
hear,
Larry

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.uninstalled program through Add Remove Hardware
2.downloaded mozilla 1.0 again
3.reinstalled.  Nothing works. Did this several times.

Actual Results:  
Got a white page with error message that "mozilla.org could not be found".

Expected Results:  
Opened a page

Hope that's clear.  Or call me at 301 270 3145 if you want.

I could not find a similar problem listed on the existing reports, but many of 
those are more technical than I am.

Many thanks for all the good Mozilla work.

Do you have to use a proxy? Look if IE uses one.

Can anyone else reproduce this problem?

If not then this probably isn't a bug with Firefox, in which case you should
post your query on Mozillazine (http://www.mozillazine.org).

After several more attempts, still could not install Mozilla 1.0.  HOWEVER, and
here's the good news, I was able to successfully download and install the entire
MOZILLA SUITE and that's even better!

Thanks,

Larry

You mean [Mozilla] Firefox 1.0, not Mozilla [Suite] 1.0.

That's cool. :-) 

I guess you have a personal firewall which detected a changed firefox.exe and
blocked the internet access. So I resolve this bug as invalid (because it was
not Firefox fault).
