If your internet connection works well, my suggestions are just for the "browser" problem.

You can always try other browsers (such as Chromium, etc.), there are a lot of options in Ubuntu Software Center.

If you want to stick with Firefox, here are the complete troubleshoot.

The short version, each step could help, so try open some pages after each step.

  1. Restart your computer
  2. Press Ctrl + Shift + Del to clear "recent" history (I know this is a fresh install, it helps sometimes)
  3. Open a terminal, and run: firefox -safe-mode
  4. Reinstall Firefox, following this

  • If OP gets a "server not found" error. Obviously you can't assume his internet connection works well. Suggesting other browsers is ok in some cases, but completely irrelevant here. – phipsalabim Feb 19 '13 at 13:50
  • It happens to me that Firefox gone crazy and other browsers works well so it worth a try. I just wondered if it's not a "trivial" solution like that. – gelichor Feb 19 '13 at 14:23
