Web pages won't load
I've tried repeatedly to use Firefox this morning, but when I click on links and enter addresses pages won't load. This support site only semi-works. I found one support solution that suggested going to the start menu and selecting Run and entering cmd to ping google. I took a screenshot of the results. I'm attempting to upload the image but it may not work. I have internet access and am able to access websites using other browsers. I prefer Firefox so if there's something that can help make it usable again, that would be great!

Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.
Under Advanced, Select Network. Look for Configure How Firefox Connects and press the Settings button. If you are using a proxy, make sure those settings are correct. If there is no proxy, first use No Proxy. If there is a problem, then try System Proxy.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
- Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
- Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.
