I'm at work and can't get firefox to connect to teh interwebs.

Network connection is good as I can get IE to work just fine. I just keep getting an error message from firefox that the website is taking too long to respond.

It was working fine, and then just stopped working on Friday. I've cleared all the Browsing History, Cache, and cookies. I even reinstalled.

What else should I try?

I've intermittently had the the same issue at work on my laptop's connection. I don't know that I've ever found a fix to it....things would spontaneously start working again for me within a short period of time. I would like to hear what is causing it tho!

Under file the is a check box saying work offline make sure dat is unchecked, as well make sure if you have a firewall such as zonealarm or something make sure that is not block firefox from the interwebz.

:dunno:
Use ie to redownload f/f or updates? Or try reinstalling f/f with the program on your hd? I don't know, these are just ideas off of the top of my head.

Not that I'm aware of.

Unfortunately my company outsources tech support to HP so I really don't want to make that call to have them help unless I absolutely have to. :banghead:

I've had this happen on my home desktop, though what normally fixes it is repairing the network connection, and restarting the computer. Good luck!

What version of FF are you running? 3.0.8 is the latest.
