Today Firefox quit working. I've cleared cache, flushed DNS, reinstalled about 3 times and each time after installing I keep getting the spinning wheel with "connecting".......but nothing happens. Is there any way I can get some help with this?

Thx, Brett M

Oh got it. In this case it sounds like you may have another program, like a security or firewall, that is blocking Firefox. Did you try the suggestions in this article - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet
