Firefox won't open websites, other browsers do
You can try creating a new profile following the official instruction here: Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles.
A new profile will not contain previous settings, while re-installation of Firefox may have kept the old settings that were messed up. I'm not sure whether it has the same effect as "Reset" in about:support.

So, any website that I try to open up in Firefox just won't load, it's not just particular websites. But all other browsers - IE, Chrome and Opera, do.
What I have tried:
* Checked Comodo's firewall about Firefox, didn't see anything
* Reinstalling Firefox
* Flushing DNS
* Checked Firefox proxy settings
* Resetted Firefox to it's original state on "about:support"I'm out of ideas now and fast googling wouldn't give me any good answers.
Thanks for helping!

Sun over 9 years1) Have you tried Firefox Portable? Can you get to web sites? 2) Rather "reinstall", I would suggest you try uninstall, then install a fresh copy of Firefox. There is a difference especially if there are corrupt files that are not being replaced.
