4.0b4 will not display any web pages in Mac ox 10.6.4 - now solved, see beow

Firefox stopped displaying web pages. No address bar, status bar, nothing. The pages I try to load appear under the "windows" menu, but the "minimize" and zoom controls are grayed out.
I downloaded and reinstalled 4.0b4, but this did not help. "internal" windows like bookmark listings or downloads show fine.

I found the problem: poor recognition of multiple screen settings. I typically use a MacBook Pro with an auxiliary monitor so that I have two screens active. The problem occurred when I was not connected to the secondary screen. Apparently Firefox was setting the new windows up on the non-existant screen. One part of the program recognized that the windows were not visible, but that information was not properly conveyed to the function that decided where in the desktop space to place new, active windows.
Restarting the MacBook had no impact on resolving the problem, but connecting the second monitor did.

  • Firfox will load but will not display any web page, neither will Safari, but I do not have a problem with IE.

    I can load Firefox, and get all the bars and acknowledgment itis running but I get a error message that the webpage is unavailable, all web pages, Safariis the same way. This is on my Dell Desk top, but not a problem with HP mini and using the same Internet access.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

    Ralph..........Did as you suggested and I am still getting the message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding".  I am not able to connect with anything on the Internet.  Frustrating since I am able to connect with my laptop.  Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Firefox will not load any web pages

    Firefox will not load any web pages. I have tried every suggestion on the support page, deleted the program and reinstalled it 4 times, and ran a malware scan. None of these have solved the problem.

    Hi JessN37,
    We've got a whole [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/web-pages-dont-load troubleshooting section on failure to load pages]. Have you looked through any of that information? There is a ton of useful stuff there.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Firefox 10.0.2 on a Samsung Continuum 2.1 will not load any web pages.

    Just reinstalled and still no luck. Will not load any web pages or complete any searches. Just brings up a blank page and adds a blank tab. Tried on WiFi and 3G, neither will work. Installed the Phony add-on and set the user agent to Android as suggested in the help, but no change. I'm using GO Launcher EX, but reverted to the stock launcher to see if that helped, still no luck.

    Unfortunately the Firefox App is not working properly with 2.1 systems. HEre are the bugs to follow their statusesȘ

  • I have an iPad 2.  Safari will not open any web pages.

    I have an iPad 2 which I have had for almost a year.  I have never had trouble with my WiFi before and now Safari is not working.  It will not open any web pages.  All of my apps (like Facebook and IMDB) that require an internet connection are working.  Safari on my iPhone is working with my WiFi.  I have tried resetting my WiFi and my iPad and that has not helped.  I took it to an Apple store and they told me nothing was wrong with it because Safari was working in their store.  When I brought it home it worked for a day and is now not working again.  Any ideas?

    From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
    Press the red to delete the Safari app from this list.
    Press the home twice button when done.
    Restart Safari.

  • Safari will not load any web pages

    I choose safari and the apple home page comes up. 
    The problem is when I want to go to yahoo or TSN web pages they do not totally load and keeps reloading 3 or 4 times and then Safari comes up and says>
    "Safari cannot display this web page"   and
    "Safari has repeatedly encountered an error while trying to display"
    Can anyone tell me what I need to do to correct this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • I'm at work and my Mac book pro is saying its connected  but will not display a web page. Others who have the MacBook is connected. Tried to restart. Please help

    I'm at work and my MacBook Pro is connected wifi but a web page will not display. Other have the pros and is connect. Tried restarting but not working

    You're not a liar. They should not charge you $90, it is within the 1-year warranty that comes with it and you are entitled to a free replacement. I have never had the problem myself on a 15 month old MacBook, so there must be SOMETHING that happened to it, maybe without you noticing. But might I recommend a wireless trackpad or Apple "Magic Mouse?"

  • Firefox will not load any web page, other programs will. Continuously "connecting"

    Firefox will not load any pages, but Google Chrome will. Firefox will 'load' the home page, but with any other site, the tab will continuously circle and say "connecting". I have tried clearing my cache, starting in safe mode, and restarting my computer. So far, nothing is working.

    Update..when I open firefox from scratch, the main firefox pages on the home page seem to work. But as soon as I try to go anywhere else, IE going to a website in the address bar or even trying to access the defauly bookmark links, it just sits there loading but never brings anything up.

  • Firefox will not open any web pages including its own introduction pages.

    I downloaded Firefox to try out.
    When I first opened Firefox on this computer, it failed to open any web pages and continues to do so.
    I have downloaded it on two other laptops with the same configuration with no issues.
    Google Chrome is working on this machine.

  • FireFox will not load any web pages and says to check firewall. What can I do?

    I updated the new version of FireFox and now when I open it Google appears the way it should but when I type into the search bar or type in a web address it will not load. The message says to check my internet connection and my firewall to make sure firefox is allowed to use the web. Everything looks ok to me and I do not know how to fix it, help!

  • Talk Talk wifi connection but safari will not load any web pages?

    I have a new Ipad and it is connected to TalkTalk wifi. But the problem is that Safari will not load a single web page?
    Are there any known issues with this problem. My PC connects to the same wifi network and is running fine.
    The build bar for the web page I try to access turns 3/4 blue but then gives an error message, 'cannot connect to server'
    TalkTalk call centre kept saying that they do not support Ipad? But would not elaborate!
    Apple call centre updated IOS 6.1.2 and reset network settings but no solution as yet.
    Do I need to take this back?
    Has anyone had a similar problem?

  • Simple text edit html files will not display as web pages using Safari

    How does one get Text Edit files saved as HTML to display as a web page rather than showing the code as written?  It appears that somehow some sort of code generator is being invoked and causing this to happen.  I am not trying to do anything complex, just simple files like "Hello World".

    Hi ..
    Make sure you are following the instructions as noted here >  Creating a Basic Web Page
    You may need to turn off all Safari extensions.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
    Switch to OFF.
    Then see if it reads as HTML or Hello World.
