Anyone else having probs conecting to firefox?

I've been using firefox for months now with no probs, but this morning I got what seemed like a 'usual' update for firefox.

I downloaded it, and now when I try to start a firefox browser, the page comes up, but I get this message
Problem loading browser

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at en-gb.start2.mozilla.com.

I tried uninstalling/installing firefox again and its the same.

I also did a spybot scan which brought up about 30 things, which were 'fixed'.

My 'Internet explorer' is fine.

Is it just me or is anyone else having problems?

    Clear out all the temp, private data and cookies in Firefox, restart and try again... (Tools > Options > Privacy).

    Thanks for the suggestions.
    I have tried going on other sites, and clearing out temp/cookies etc, and it's still the same..

    Anything else I could try?

    A new update of Firefox has just been released so the servers are getting hammered by the Auto update at the moment.

    Download 2.0.0.10 with no problems in a couple of seconds from the auto-update function.
