Why can't I access the internet through Firefox?
I can't access the internet through Firefox. It's worked just fine for several years, but it just randomly quit working. I've tried resetting Firefox, uninstalling an reinstalling it, and allowing Firefox through the firewall.

I've already tried these steps, but none of them have worked.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. See "Creating a profile":

You made sure the Firewall is allowing the new Firefox exe and not what could be the previous version being allowed.
Something you could try and if it works then it could have been the firewall. Try to rename the firefox exe to say firefox1 or such and then load Firefox and see if it then can connect.
Did you try to remove the current rules for Firefox in the firewall to make ure to create new rules for the current Firefox release?
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
