that's very odd, since you checked the proxy settings and they were ok.
might try making a post here:

Make sure that if you've got a firewall running that it is allowing firefox access to the internet.
I had the same problem and what I found was that when I changed my start page from the default setting, it would not connect.
Somehow, it screws up how Firefox checks itself and its connection on start-up and will give you those errors.
If you have changed your start page (the first page that you see when you open Firefox) Go to Tools>Options>Home Page>Restore To Default
See if that helps at all, and if not, you can always try backing up your bookmarks and extensions and re-installing Firefox.
Is IE able to connect to the internet?
Also, if you are still unable to remedy your problem, you always have the option of installing Opera...
Opera is a solid, reliable and safe browser and it smokes both IE and Firefox in speed tests.
Take Care,
