Firefox/IE not loading any pages, yet AOL will?

Okay, I don't want to sound to drastic here but bear with me:

I have a microbiology final coming up tomorrow (friday) night, and my professor has a bunch of lab review videos set up online. The only problem is, is that for some odd reason they only work with Firefox or IE.


I was using firefox since the last time I could remember... I used it last night, shut it down to go to bed, started my PC up this morning, tried to load FF and no page will load!

Okay... 1 page will load, and it's the google search page.

Other than that, nothing will show up. It just sits there saying "waiting for blah blah page to load"


I know I can use AOL, but using firefox was so much quicker and easier.


I'm currently using an XP PC, and I'm on a network connection (linksys2). The signal strength is perfect, and everything is hooked up.


Please, do you have an answer for this?

My guess would be your firewall is blocking them. Google probably loads up because it's in your cache.

try uninstalling firefox and doing a clean install....I find that sometimes when FF updates itself it messes with some of my previous settings...
