Reset my firewall to defaults (anything without a rule is allowed) and nope, it wasn't that; portable ESR is just not working, but it is connecting to the internet, which I've been able to see on both runs (before/after adjusting the firewall) because when I type in the address bar and search box, the autosuggestions work just fine (I get portableapps.com as a suggestion for the address, and whatever I type in the search box drops down instantly showing related searches) so it defintely connects but the browser chome is malfunctioning, I guess? I don't know, this is sort of way beyond my know-how to try to figure out.
So...I'm about to wipe portable ESR and just go with regular ESR and regular Dev Edition, for now...hopefully that goes more smoothly and the profiles play nice and don't breath fire or scream at each other too much. -MM
