though.

I have the same problem. My XP box upgraded and works fine but the
vista box say it is unable to connect. IE works fine, since i am
using it now to write this.

I had the EXACT same problem...updating from 2.0.0.4 to 2.0.0.5 broke
my internet connection in Firefox on Vista. I tried all sorts of
things, and finally uninstalled 2.0.0.5 and reinstalled 2.0.0.4 and
everything is fine. You can download it here:

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozi...4/win32/en-US/

One final problem is my Symantec Antivirus can no longer LiveUpdate
(connection fails too). I will try uninstalling and reinstalling that
to see if it fixes it.
