The following error was encountered:
* Cache Access Denied
Access control configuration prevents this request.

Try some of the suggestions there. Check your proxy settings, if you use them (tools-->options: advanced-->network-->connection: settings). If you have internet explorer working, see if its proxy settings are the same as firefox's. Maybe clear your private data (see the link in the tools menu) and restart.
