A couple of possibilities or things to try. First, if your router has its
own firewall, check to make sure it isn't blocking Internet Explorer; note,
it may not see Windows Explorer as the browser, hence you're ability to
access from a Windows Explorer address window.
Second, if Firefox is your default browser, temporarily make IE your default
browser and see if that resolves the issue. If yes, it's possible your
router is set to accept the default browser but declines access from others
as a potential intrusion.
Third, go to Control Panel, open Internet Options, go to the Advanced tab,
scroll to the Security section and see if changing selections there allows
you to access the router.
