I get many errors about something not responding how do I fix this

When I turn on my computer, it takes at least 15 minutes for Firefox or Thunderbird to start. I then get some plugin errors but Microsoft didn't want me to get a screen shot of it. They only wanted me to get their task manager. I don't remember the error since I thought I could get a screenshot, but I was wrong.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

See Server Not Found - Troubleshoot connection problems and Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
