updated 1.0.1 to Firefox 1.0.2 for Windows now no webpages will come up. It
looks like it is trying to pickup any additional updates but never finds
anything then times out. Tried rebooting no progress. Uninstalled then clean
install still same problem. Uninstalled and went back to 1.0.1 and browser works
fine.

Reproducible: Always

I uninstalled 1.0.2 and reinstalled 1.0.1 for the Mac and the problem still
exists. Firefox has become virtually unusable. When looking for the 1.0.1
replacement and couldn't find one in the Firefox areas, I sent an eMail to
support and got a reply of "we don't offer that kind of info". What?

I have moved on to other browsers. Suggest you do the same.

Reporter: Do you have a software firewall installed and did you update the firefox 
configuration in your firewall after you upgraded ?

My friend has similar problem like yours.  I was helping my friend to update
from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2.  It was opening OK but it will NOT browse anything outside
at all.  Then uninstalled back to 1.0.1 - it works fine.

I update Firefox on my PC... from 1.0.1PR to 1.0.2 and it works fine.

No change setting, firewall or anything else on both PCs.

There is one easy test for blocking via Firewall :
open a Command-Window (Dos-Window) and start firefox.
Now type "netstat -n" and you should see 2 localhost connections like this :
  TCP    127.0.0.1:1042         127.0.0.1:1043         HERGESTELLT
  TCP    127.0.0.1:1043         127.0.0.1:1042         HERGESTELLT

Your firewall is blocking Firefox. Adjust it to allow Firefox to browse the web
and you should be fine.
