Make sure that the Firefox connection settings are the same as in IE.
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection" If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
You can compare them with the IE settings in the Internet Options (Control Panel). Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections: LAN Settings
Are you using the "Automatic proxy configuration URL" aka PAC file?
check by opening MOZILLA FIREFOX --> Tools --> Options Menu Item --> Network TAB --> Settings BUTTON
