2.

Actual Results:  
no way to reproduce


Should have connected to Internet normally, as with previous updates.

What server settings ?
Firefox doesn't touch any windows networking settings. Issues after upgrading Firefox are always caused (from my experience) by installed third party Firewalls.

marking this bug incomplete 
"fixing server setting" is not specific enough and we don't know what happened on your system

Thanks for reporting. A developer will look into this if we would get more reports about the same problem but we have only the usual numbers of ~2 reports including your one.
