    Internet Browser Issues.

    Well, i'm having some issues.

    I cannot access the internet via Firefox or Opera. I must use Internet Explorer :P

    Everything was going fine, until I rebooted my computer last night and I couldn't access the internet. I rebooted again, and got the same result. I finally opened up IE(which I never use) and it worked. So I went into FF to make sure I didnt have it set up to try and connect through a proxy or anything, and all the settings were like normal.

    After some messing around, I realized I could connect to website that used ports other then 80. I'm guessing somehow something blocked port 80 in firefox and opera? but not IE?

    I have the latest versions of all 3 of those browsers. And I don't think I've recently installed or updated anything.


    Help please?

    For firefox:
    check wat type of connection do You have and set this in firefox settings.
    I`m using DSL and I have "direct internet connection" without any proxy server or something else.

        Try to reinstall Firefox, or check Antivirus software and again firewall settings.

              I would still check for spyware, adware and viruses. There are some that make some changes to your stack and would affect your system in this way.

                Download and run a program called WinsockFix. Its very small and I use it on all infected PCs, so whether yours has a bug or not, its worth the effort.

                  nah, its not spyware or viruses.
                  i got +5 programs for all that
                  just in case im doing a full system scan, so the server might be a bit slower


                  i believe its a program i installed that messed it up, but its all good now
