[Jon Valentine]

Clicking the Firefox icon failed to connect me to the Internet. Kept getting not connected/webpage not found.

Ubuntu Privacy Remix is not intended for connecting the internet or any other network. UPR's mission is providing a secure sealed-off local working environment.

The UPR-Website explains it:
"These few examples show that security means the security of the whole working environment, and that security can never be provided by one program alone. Editing, de- and encryption of sensitive data should therefore be done with a system that

    * never has or had contact to untrustworthy networks like the internet
    * cannot leave data unencrypted on the hard drive, not even unnoticed or by accident
    * offers no opportunity to spyware to permanently install onto the system

Ubuntu Privacy Remix creates such a working environment on any PC with the following measures:
(...)
    * The system kernel is modified so that it ignores any network hardware. UPR therefore is an isolated system which can not be attacked via LAN/WLAN/Bleutooth/Infrared etc.
