No Internet through Firefox

[Rsrockerz]

Ok, I'm new here, so go easy on me.

I've been using ubuntu since 6.06 and I haven't had this problem. Ok, so when I turn my computer on, Everything have the OK mark issued e.g. Starting Firestarter OK. Then I login, X11 start perfectly. Pidgin opens, and I can chat with my friends. But when I open firefox to use the internet, I get this (I code my links so their not live) :

Also, when I run "sudo apt-get update", it works:

When my sister logs into her account, she can chat too, but no firefox. I have also tried other browsers, and sites other than Hotmail.

Any help?

Are you using Network Manager?

If you are not.
Remove it!

sudo apt-get remove network-manager

Firefox, for some reason, relies on Network manager for a connection. once that has gone. It looks else were.

If the connection is done through Network Manager, then I dont know :\

File -> uncheck "Work offline"

Nope neither of those helped, though thanks for trying. Any one else?

Similar thing here. Sometimes Firefox refuses to load any page while Epiphany doesn't have the slightest problems.
