    Quick question, when I try to use Firefox it won't load any pages. I've been trying to figure it out, but no luck, so thought it would be easier to ask what's goin on... I just see the "Done" at the bottom left corner and hitting the refresh button doesn't do anything. I am using AVG Antivirus, and NV Firewall. I have noticed that when I hit the "View Current Profile" in the window, it automatically opens a Firefox window and after that the pages WILL load. What's with this? thanks in advance...

    Can you explain where you find that View Current Profile option ?

    One suggestion : In FF under File Menu, check whether Work Offline option is checked (if it is, then uncheck it).

    The "View Current File" is found in the NVidia Active Armof Firewall. I think it has something to do with this firewall, but I can't get it figured out. Thanx for the response, the Work Offline was Unchecked...

    Hey man thanx alot for the reply, it doesn't say "show blank page" in there. It's just like every time I try to load a page it won't even "TRY" to. I really don't want to switch to Internet Explorer, since firefox has been good to me. What's the next step?

    I think you should try IE. I do not think it will work either. I think the problem is either with your network or your firewall.
