cannot access the internet through firefox, IE is ok, checked the firewall settings and network

Have used firefox for ages w / no problem - this morning, firefox will not have internet access - modem and the router are fine, inernet explore what access very well. Firefox is configured to use the system, not considered proxy settings 'no proxy', has not worked, checked windows and Mcaffey firewalls, not found something that should be blocked. Have restarted/rebooted everything

This has happened

Each time Firefox opened

This moringing - last successfully used there - 3: 00 children asks that they "did nothing...". »

User Agent

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152 .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

They did something with firefox 3.6.8, which upsets the McAffee Firewall currently. Since the upgrade, I get the firewall Alerts pop ups. If you click on the block (which could have your children), then Firefox will be blocked completely.

If you dig in the McAffee Firewall tools-> program authorities, you will likely find that Firefox listed as "blocked."

On my machine, the entry is for 'Free' only and I now get alerts. I think they will disappear if I switch it to "Full". But I'm reluctant to do this, why a browser should accept incoming connections, why this change has been made and what benefit is it for us as users?
