foxfire in vista

Could download Foxfire, but could not get any pages to download. The
following comes up when run foxfire. I presume some kind of connection
problem. I did this b/c IE7 will not download some items, won't go to some
sites, and won't start Gtalk, etc. I have shut down all the firewall stuff,
I think.

-- Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at
en-us.start2.mozilla.com.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in
a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy,
make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Check your network connection, it sounds like it's not working.

"Fair use is not merely a nice concept--it is a federal law based on
free speech rights under the First Amendment and is a cornerstone of the
creativity and innovation that is a hallmark of this country. Consumer
rights in the digital age are not frivolous."
- Maura Corbett

the correct name is FireFox

just thought I should mention it...
