Firefox Browser Issue

'Linked In' technical support are telling me that I am unable to see certain pages on their system most likely because my Firefox Browser (which is fully up to date) is using DNS. They said to remove DNS. Is this wise advice and if so how do I do that and what difference will it make to my day to day use of firefox?

DNS = finding the numeric IP address associated with a host name like www.linkedin.com

All browsers need DNS, so you can't use the web without it. Were they referring to a DNS add-on, or something like that?

Working from the other direction: what is the error message you're getting when trying to access parts of LinkedIn or related sites?
