Can't access the web on lap. It's networked form main computer. The problem started just after I downloaded/updated to Firefox 3.6.6. That may be a coincidence. I get "The proxy server is refusing connections". Restarts don't help. My main computer is fine. I didn't update it.

Firefox 3.6.6 made a change in prefs to use system proxy settings.

Check your proxy / network setting in Windows and change it to No Proxy, if you don't use a proxy.

Internet Options > Connections in the Windows Control Panel.
