Acer aspire a50l/intel atom n270 internet issue

bwatt00

I have a Acer aspire a50l/intel atom n270 1.6ghz/512mb/120gb/8.9/linux notebook
which uses linux lite im sure have had this for a few years now and been using it as a main computer still workds fine and never had much trouble.
Today i was trying to view a website from germany which i wanted to read in english using translator but had trouble viewing each page anyway i see an option to i think download google toolbar or was it browser anyway since then when i go to my desktop and click on my browser button i can get on the net now.

I dont know what i have done or how to fix this,i thought i had downloaded google toolbar which im sure have used before on the computer but i just cant get on the net now,even though my wirelss conection says its ok

i get the message firefox is already running but is not responding.to open a new window you must first close the existing firefox process or restart your system.

i have tried restart,switching it off etc and still cant get it to work,what should i do or how do i get this working again

Ok Start up a terminal and try ping bbc.co.uk
Also enter ifconfig and lets see the output from that
and cat /etc/resolv.conf

Do i enter ping bbc.co.uk and ifconfig same time,do i try one at a time?
And whats the rest of it about need to be more clear as i have no idea what i am doing i can get the terminal up as you asked but what i need to put in after that i am not clear about,i tried a few things nothing happens.
