When I click the link to the instructions to try a different DNS server (I wonder what “DNS” stands for anyway), I get this:

Server not found

Firefox can’t find the server at www.opendns.com.

Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
