Dave here is the comment I get:

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at en-us.start3.mozilla.com.

Here is the rest of the comment:

# The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.

#   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.

#   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

No it's not.

Please follow comment #2, this is caused by a third party Firewall on your system.
