It has happened twice. On both my PC and laptop I use the same version of
Firefox: 1.0.1. On my PC it upgraded automatically to 1.0.3.  When finished it
re-started abd I cannot log in to my home page: www.netscape.com could not be
found.Please check the name and try again. I cannot log in to any address.
On the same desktop PC I am loging in to this address (and any other) using
Netscape 7.2. 
This had happened previously (about a week ago) and I had to completely unistall
Firefox and re-install version 1.0.1 (which I had saved.
I am writing this note from my laptop using windows 2000 NT and version 1.0.1
and before writing this report I compared all the settings under options and
they are identical in both computers

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Re-install version 1.0.
2. Upgrade to 1.0.3
3.

Actual Results:  
exatly the same: could not log in to any address

Expected Results:

Reporter, your firewall is probably blocking the new Firefox version.

[Henry Hudson]

As suggested I unistalled firewalls.
With Windows XP running there is no problem
With Norton Internet Security Firewall the problem CONTINUES

You should not uninstall your firewall, you should open the firewall setup,
remove the firefox entry and add it again. (because the Norton firewall is
broken and doesn't notify the user that the Firefox.exe changed...)

-> invalid
