Hi,
I installed Ubuntu onto my laptop as a dual boot with Windows 7, everything went fine, I installed some software, connected to the net ect. Except now firefox can't load any web pages.

The situation is:
-pinging websites works, so internet is connected
-When it first stopped working it appeared to be updating so I think I am running the latest version
-I have tried all the different proxy settings on firefox to no avail
-It never actually says it can't connect, for example on one page it did manage to load the page title above the menu bar.

Any help appreciated.

Are you pinging on ip or on name?
Try to disable ipv6 in firefox

Kind regards

Hi repo, coming to my aid once again...
I am now browsing through firefox on Ubuntu. I restarted the router which seems like the logical thing to try almost first up, but I didn't think of it as every time I booted into windows to surf the net to fix the issue it worked fine so I didn't think the problem was with the router. When Ubuntu connected to my wireless connection it gave me the message:

I think it unlikely, but perhaps that had something to do with it not working before? Anyhow it doesn't matter now its all fixed, just theorising.

cheers
