I have a problem. I have internet connection that has all of the connection bars filled yet when I press firefox it takes very long to load up. And when it does it goes to my homepage which is google. Yet when I try and visit any other site at all it always timed out, not only firefox but also internet Explorer and google Chrome as well.

I've tried going to the options of firefox and going to the advanced tab to make sure I was Use system proxy & even tried restarting firefox to use safe mode & I still get the same result.

What should I do to fix this, I have a windows XP laptop if it helps?

Did you installed the Firefox from Google Play Store or from Third Party website?

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing.
Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies, do the following:

  1. Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
  2. Tap Settings.
  3. After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section Privacy & Security and select Clear private data.
  4. You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    • Cookies & active logins
    • Cache
  5. After those have been selected, tap the Clear data button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

I downloaded firefox from the main mozilla wedsite.

Also I found the 3 bars to the top right but when I click it settings does not appear. All that appears is New Window, New Private Window, Save Page, Print, History, Full Screen, Find, Options, Add-ons, & Developer.

below this are two bars that say Sign in to Sync & Customize?
