Firefox 3.0.1 bug

MitchRapp · Jul 19, 2008, 06:24 AM

so it looks like this is doing this to a lot of people
when upgrading from Firefox 3.0 to 3.0.1, suddenly NO webpages load... looks like FF 3.0.1's DNS resolution doesn't work. If you were to type it google.com's IP in the address bar, it loads... but not "google.com" itself...

hopefully 3.0.2 will be out soon to fix this

i don't seem to have the issue, updated when i started it a few hours ago and all went well considering i have like 15-20 add on installed. i tried manually typing in the addys for dh and google just to be sure and it was ok.

No problems here either. 3.01 is working fine for me.

Check your software firewall or other security software so that it doesn't block the program just because the executable changed due to the update.

nope even without security firewalls it doesn't work
seems like it's happening for a lot of people I just dunno how (and nobody else seems to know either)
Using 3.0 for now

Maybe a bad/incompatible extension, corrupted profile or something similar?

MitchRapp · Jul 31, 2008, 05:21 PM

ok I wasn't clear

Firefox 3.0.1 - no extensions, no themes, no firewall, no antivirus, windows firewall off too ---- pages do not load

Firefox 3.0, IE 7.0 etc... ---- pages load

looks like plenty of other people have the same issue ... 3.0.2 coming I guess

seems like every "expert" on the interwebz blames an antivirus/firewall or addon ... but that comment is followed by 150 "euh no" replies

even on firefox official forums... oh well they don't want to admit they screwed something up that's for sure

I just did fresh install and now running Vista with no FW or AV programs and I installed FF 3.0.1 straight away no issues at all... have you tried to uninstall FF then re-install it?
