Firefox not working on Windows 8.1 after update to 32.0
For the last three versions 30.0, 31.0, and 32.0 Firefox will not work after updating on my Windows 8.1 laptop. I have tried resetting Firefox to default state, uninstalling and reinstalling, and resetting my TCP/IP stack (which usually fixes the problem). I also have gone to Internet Options in IE 11 and unchecked the automatically detect settings under the LAN connection options and then rechecked it without success. I also have Chrome installed on my machine as a check to see if it lies within the browser or my internet connection.
Internet Explorer 11 is the only browser that works so something seems to be amiss in Firefox.

I discovered that my Norton Internet Security firewall was blocking the new version of the program. Chrome had auto updated recently too and I believe it too was blocked.

Hello kschmit05, any luck in you boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support, select in the Startup Settings screen > Enable Safe Mode with Networking.
