(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 3.1)
Build Identifier: 

I downloaded Firefox 1.0.6, and now can't access internet. Revieve 
message:  'www.mozilla.org could not be found'.  This message is displayed for 
any address - 'www.anysitename.com could not be found.  I am using Explorer to 
access your site as I write this query.  Therefore discounting a bad Comast 
connection or Norton security blocker.  My firefox site is stand alone - I do 
not use netscape, outlook, etc.  Earlier in the day I was using the previous 
version of Firefox successfully.  Then I downloaded 1.0.6 and immediately 
recieved the error message.  Thanks for your assistance.

Reproducible: Always

Your firewall is blocking firefox from accessing the internet or you have
something else misconfigured.

support requests should be posted at http://forums.mozillazine.org and not in
bugzilla which is for firefox bugs.

Marking invalid as this is a user support request.

>Therefore discounting a bad Comast connection or Norton security blocker

That is a flawed logic as Norton will treat the firefox binary different to the
Internet Explorer one.
