I think it just has to do with firefox having proxy issues with signing into the wireless network. In about:config for firefox, the network.proxy.type setting is on 5 "use system settings" and locked. It should be on 4 "Auto detect proxy settings". When I try to get to the wireless network sign in page (by putting in another website and it automatically redirecting), it comes up with this message:

This Connection is Untrusted

You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.yahoo.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.What Should I Do?If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

This is the issue. I will mention that I can circumvent the issue by plugging in to the network cable and firefox works fine.
