So there I was, happily chatting online with a friend, when Firefox suddenly, with no warning at all, decided it didn't want to play nice anymore.
I had gone into a second window to look something up and got a "sorry can't connect to that website" screen. From that point on, Firefox could not connect to Google or anything else. I shut down my laptop, brought it back up and still could not get online.
I had an internet connection, according to my computer, but whenever I tried to open Firefox, I got a window asking me if I wanted to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer. Clicking yes did nothing except bring up the same window/question again and again.
I ended up having to use Microsoft Edge instead and am using that now. A friend suggested I check to see if my Firefox had somehow gotten the "use as administrator" button checked. I looked. It's not checked off.
So if anyone has any ideas what the hell happened to Firefox, I'd appreciate it. I wasn't doing anything online I haven't done a million times, so this is weird.
