IE is working, Firefox is not. Why?
superboyac:
OK, some more information.
I started my computer in Safe Mode with Networking, and Firefox works fine! Now what? How come it doesn't work in normal mode?
I think Netlimiter screwed something up, but it's uninstalled and I'm still having problems. I think my router is fine, but something is blocking firefox and the bat from working right.
Grorgy:
Actually i just noticed on your settings the DNS server is your router, I was doing that for a long time and it worked ok, but then it stopped, i had no idea why, after a brief call to my ISP support they told me to change the DNS to the one they recommend, so I did, no more trouble.
May not be your problem but could be worth a try
sri:
May be one of the add-ons is the trouble maker? Try disabling all of them.

superboyac: does your network settings change in safe mode?
Could be a netlimiter filter driver left behind that screws up things... could be a lot of things. Does seem a bit suspicious that DNS server is set to your router, though - never seen that done before (with hardware routers anyway).

I'll check that out and see if I can do something.
One thing that my cousin and I came up with yesterday is that maybe by installing Netlimiter, which has a firewall in it, it conflicted with the firewall in Kaspersky. You know how they say you shouldn't install two antivirus programs or two firewall programs at the same time? Well, maybe it screwed something up by doing that. Maybe the solution is to uninstall Kaspersky and reinstall it from scratch.

I didn't check the network settings in safe mode, I'll do that later. All I know is that firefox worked fine.
