I followed Andrea's interface cleaning. I just deleted all the contents of interface, but firefox still won't work. Then I remembered that one of my friends helped me set up a firewall. The content of that file is:
#!/bin/sh iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT I deleted that file. Then since now the interfaces are not there I had to put in the following commands: sudo ifconfig lo localhost sudo route add localhost dev lo I am typing this message using firefox three. I just have to set up the lo interface. Getting there. However if someone could help me edit the firewall file, I would appreciate that.
