Inappropriate?More likely than not, this is caused by security software on your computer. Software firewalls that allow/deny internet access on a per-application basis may no longer recognize an application as allowed if it's updated, even after you revert to the old version.
The firewall does this as a failsafe against tampering, so that malware can't pretend to be an authorized application to get by the firewall, but unfortunately, a lot of firewalls won't tell you this is happening.
See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/C... for more assistance.
Keep in mind, if there is an existing rule in your firewall software for Firefox, you'll probably need to remove that rule and add a new one allowing Firefox to access the internet. You'll likely have to repeat this process when you go back up to 3.5.
I’m confident

Inappropriate?I just upgraded to Firefox 3.5.2 and now all I get is unable to connect error messages.
I tried disabling my firewall and even re-creating the firewall rule, and I still get the same issue.
I know my connection works, as I am creating this post from the same computer but using IE
Please help
I’m bummed out
