I had downloaded Firefox previously and loved it.  I got a pop up message to
upgrade to 1.01.1.  Since I did that I have not been able to open Firefox
without getting the error message.  I have tried downloading it again and get
the same message.

I was able to download Mozilla, which I have been told has been upgraded to the
current Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.I click on the Firefox Icon.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox on opening says "start.mozilla.org could not be found".

This happens no matter what address I put in the URL location at the top of the
page.  I get the message that the URL can not be found.

Expected Results:  
The ability to use Firefox.

I currently cannot use Firefox.

Do you use a Firewall ?
If yes: Did you try to remove the FF entry and create it again (to update the
firewall entry for FF) ?
