Firefox starts up perfectly fine, but when i type in any website it immediety deletes whatever address i typed in and doesnt even attempt to load the page.

Question

So basicly what is happening is when i type in say google.com for example. Firefox pretty much does absolutly nothing except delete google.com from the address bar, and stays on the startup page. And this happens for every website, i cannot get off the startup page because of this. And currently the only web browser that will work right now for me is IE (64-bit). Which is strange because when i try to start any other version of IE it gives me the error that tells me there is no internet connection, when there clearly is. If anyone has had this problem or knows how i can fix this i will be forever in your debt. Also, if this helps I cannot download/install chrome, vuze, torch browser, or ubuntu. Thank you all in advance.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
