Firefox unable to connect

Three days ago I couldn't get anything to come up on Firefox. Every icon I clicked on said 'Unable to connect'. I unintalled it and reinstalled it and it still wouldn't work. I uninstalled it again and left it for two days. I reinstalled it just now and it's the same thing. None of my icons will connect. Right now I'm having to use Explorer, which I don't like because it's slow as Christmas and it doesn't spell check. Nothing has changed on my computer that I know of. Does anyone out there have any thoughts on this? For what it's worth I installed the 11, what ever that is. Thank you.

I had the same mistake like you since yesterday afternoon. I don't know what's wrong. At first I wondered whether my computer was infected the computer virus but I already scanned it and it seemed it was OK. I also tried to uninstall and install the latest version of Firefox but the same mistake is still available. Now I have to use a proxy software so that I can get online in Firefox. Is this a bug for Firefox? I love China

Thanks for responding. I found something that let me take it back to a previous date and that brought it back.

I have that frequently with firefox too, also a problem is you are forced to install the newest version, which is more and more heavy for my laptop to run. I think this has to do with firefox and all the so called extra's I don't need at all

I'm not computer smart. I tried different things and finally took it back to a previous date and that brought it back.
