Firefox and Software update cannot find my internet. But I can print to my WiFi printer.

Following an update 2018-08-27, I accepted an upgrade to 18.04 from 16.04 (Linux 4.4.0-134-generic to 4.15.0-33 as shown in GRUB 2.02). During the upgrade I was informed that my computer was set to secure boot and that I had unsigned Kernels. Also that GRUB would not therefore be changed.
From Ubuntu Software I get:
Unable to download updates from "extensions.
Cannot resolve hostname
From Firefox I get:
"We can't connect to the server at www.cnn.com"
or any other URL.
But I can print to my printer on WiFi through the router that the same hardware connects to launchpad with EDGE dual boot in Windows-10.
/etc/default/grub contains:
#GRUB_HIDDEN_
GRUB_HIDDEN_
While its intended repacement in /tmp contains:
GRUB_TIMEOUT_
Grub gives me 10 seconds to choose to boot into windows 10 so I need it not to be hidden.
Am happy that 18.04 mostly works on my computer but will gladly accept advice on fixing connectivity to the internet.
