Not a techie person but have you tried swearing at it (it won't make anything work but you might feel better)?
Sorry dotty, can't help with the tech side of things but I had probs with FF on Tuesday and had to resort to IE. Not even Google chrome :(

thi sis really annoying me now, I can open any link posted on ab to any site BUT when I try to search for anything from my yAHOO home page IE cannot display the web page, does anyone have a solution to this please?
In recent times I also have been getting 'internet explorer cannot display the web page'. Vexing I agree and I don't know why it happens. I click a Google icon on my links bar, having saved this web address as a favourite:-
http://www.google.co.uk/webhp
I know its drastic but if all was working ok earlier in the week try a system restore at that date.

For Methyl:
It has been established, on another thread, that Dot's laptop can connect to websites by entering numeric IP addresses (rather than URLs), thus bypassing BT's DNS server.

See here:

If that helps you think of a solution, I'd be grateful for your input, 'cos I'm struggling!
