Started using Chrome because Firefox suddenly decided not to connect me to the sites that I go to daily. The sites that I am trying to reach are the same ones that I go to several times a day and gone to for the past 3 years.

Hi

Do you have an example of one of these websites?

Did you make sure your "VIPRE Advanced Security" security software isn't blocking those websites ?

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.

I am using Windows 10 on a Dell computer that is 3 years ol.d

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times. Run CC cleaner afterwards. Shut down the computer and rebooted it.

Upon reinstall of Firefox, for a short period of time, I can access these sites. After a couple of days, Firefox blocks them.

I have Firefox on 2 other computers and I do not have this problem on them. My problem is that the computer that I use almost all of the time is the computer that Firefox will not allow connection to these websites.

What is the error message that you are seeing when the pages are blocked?
