Hi, 

I realize you are angry and upset you can't browse but various other functions are working, but your first sentence doesn't help you either getting it fixed or working. Instead it comes across as throwing a gauntlet down and daring people to pick a fight about what is acceptable or not versus fixing your problem.

A) This list isnt about user problems, but about development issues inside of Fedora.

B) This list isn't about what 3rd party repositories contain or do not contain.

C) This list is full of very cranky people who like to bite people who they think poked them.

So let us start over. You have a problem with Firefox not connecting to the internet but haven't described what that means (does the application start, does the application show an error, does the application crash after trying to connect to some web server, what version of Firefox are you using, when did it last work? have you turned off various plugins and such as they are the usual suspect for stopping a browser from working.)

You have shown than you can connect ot the internet via chrome and dnf. The chromium says that the problem is not likely a MitM proxy blocking you but if you try with epiphany and then get errors that might be the issue.

After that to bring it back to something that is related to this mailing list, try running firefox from the command line. Look to see if it displays any errors when trying to connect. If so then it might be a problem that the firefox developers can fix.

Next step.

mv .mozilla .mozilla_blech

firefox

if firefox starts now then it is likely some sort of corruption in your firefox directory which is outside of this list to fix.

 

ie. this morning Firefox is not connecting to the internet (yet thunderbird, dnf, etc is ...  - I'm seeing a kernel problem warning
WARNING: CPU 0 PID 1419 at drivers.net.wireless/ath/ath9k.recv

point is, browser choice is important and Chromium on my F20 is working.

Also as developers, we need to work with all browsers.

Even if Fedora does not elect to maintain packages for Chromium, there should be some effort to work with or encourage a 3rd party or fix whatever package might be holding up someone else from implementing it (ie if it's clang compiling or whatever.
