After a crash and update firefox will not connect to any webpages. Internet explorer is working fine. What's going on?

Firefox crashed. Closed all my windows - did the auto update thingy with accompanying message. Brought up the windows that had closed as usual - all said "problem loading page". Firefox will now not connect to internet. It's not a problem with my connection etc - internet explorer is working fine. Anyone else have this problem today?

So, it's been 13 hours now and no answers. From reading the Airport Discussion board "
Airport has a self assigned IP address, 169.254.175.198 and will not be able to connect to the internet"
is a very common problem and I find it hard to believe Apple has not responded with a fix. I may have to take it into a Genius Bar and see what they can do but I do not have high hopes.
You know, I was talking to someone last week and the name Apple came up. "Ah", he said, "the Evil Empire". Their success has made them much more brash than MS ever was.

Firefox will not connect to any site since downloading new upgrade.

Firefox will not connect to any websites since installing the latest upgrade. Google Chrome and Internet do work.

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

Firefox will not connect to any website following upgrade. Anti-malware is not blocking AFAIK

Firefox will not connect to any website *at all* since upgrading to latest version. No mention of Firefox anywhere in firewall- and anti-malware-related services (Intego VirusBarrier X6 V10.6.13).

HT1695 I have the 1st generation iPad. All of a sudden it will not connect to my wi-fi. It finds my wi-fi, but will not totally connect. I have done everything...reset network, rebooted router etc and it still will not connect. Any suggestions?

I have the 1st generation iPad. All of a sudden it will not connect to my wi-fi. It finds my wi-fi, but will not totally connect. I have done everything...reset network, rebooted router etc and it still will not connect. My other divices are connected....iPhone and 3 Macs. Any suggestions?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Firefox will not connect to any website but other browsers can

I installed firefox on my new advent laptop running windows 7 but it will not connect to any websites. I can connect using chrome or ie no problem but i always preferred firefox as a browser, i have tried changing settings and turning off my firewall but still having no luck

Okay, here is my answer to this problem. At least it fixed my problem and firefox now works fine.
Prior to this problem I was running zonealarm (free firewall) everything worked fine until I removed zonealarm free and installed Comodo free firewall. That is when the trouble started. firefox failed and IE kept working. I tried everything posted here nothing worked for me.
I resorted to "REGEDIT" and removed everything in my registry that regedit would allow that had the name of "zonealarm" on it. Didn't even have to reboot my system, firefox worked first thing. Everything else is fine also.
[note: this is not a slam against Lavasoft's ZoneAlarm firewall. It is just that UNINSTALL programs do not always do a thorough job of removing parts of programs in your systems and registry cleaner programs do not pick them up either.]
USE CARE, "REGEDIT" IS A POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS TOOL TO USE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NOT A SOMEWHAT ADVANCED USER. USE CARE WITH "REGEDIT!"
Good luck.

After rebooting following an update firefox will not open how do I fix this?

I clicked on a firefox update window that led to me rebooting my laptop. After rebooting I cannot get firefox to open no matter what I do.I even uninstalled it then re-installed it. It simply will not open.I click on icon in desktop get the little circle thing for about 10 seconds fans speed up then circle stops and fans go quite and nothing. I've tried everything I can think of but firefox will not open

Have you also asked in the Adobe forums? To have people read your post, best not to include long crash reports until asked to do so.

Just downloaded new update 7/.1 and now firefox will not connect

Just downloaded the latest update 7.0.1. Restarted computer now firefox will not cponnect. IE will Thinderbird will. Turned off firewall and tried no luck so not firewall blocking it

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, 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 and the updater process.

Firefox will not bring up any webpages after updating to v3.6.7 and then 3.6.8

Everything ran well in v 3.6.6. Today it seemingly upgraded to v3.6.7 and then a Mozilla web page strongly suggested upgrading to v.3.6.8. I did. Sometime after this Norton 360 v3 found some bad files and quarantined them and needed a reboot. After that reboot no web pages would work in FF. I followed the Norton 360 connection thread and that did not help. I also received a new router yesterday, but v3.6.6 worked fine today and IE works now, so I doubt that the router is the reason. Right now I would be happy to revert to 3.6.6 or else uninstall and try from scratch. I have tried a few reboots, but they did not help.

which is, I guess what you are talking about.
We will try it this afternoon, after school is out. However, as I said, our problem is not limited to Firefox.
Hmmm.
Firefox 4.0 and Safari 5.0.4 do not work.
Chrome and Omniweb both work, after 10 or 15 seconds.

Firefox will not connect to any website

I use Firefox to connect to the internet, on a WindowsXP and Windows 7 machine. A day or two ago, both had updates added on shut down. Now, Firefox doesn't work on the Windows 7 machine. Error message looks like: "Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."
Internet Explorer works. Added Mozilla to list of allowed sites on the Firewall, still same message. Removed and reloaded Mozilla, still same message. I assume the Microsoft update prevents Mozilla (the old "DOS ain't done till LOTUS won't run" updated to "Windows ain't done till Firefox won't run") from working.

Uninstalled Firefox using Revo Uninstaller (advanced mode) in Vista, and now Firefox will not run, period. No task in task manager. What dependencies did I screw up?

I wanted to reinstall Firefox to get rid of all the old Java libraries still installed. I uninstalled using Revo Uninstaller in Advanced mode, and I didn't bother checking what it did this time. I know firefox needs something to exist before it will start, otherwise I wouldn't be having this problem.
== This happened ==

== I uninstalled Firefox with Revo Uninstaller in Advanced Mode ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.38 Safari/533.4

Yes, it needs the user profile, I think. Granted you probably lost all your bookmarks and passwords and history and so on...
Go to your [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles profile folder] and delete it (or back it up, maybe there's stuff you can scavange from there).
Try to reinstall Firefox now. It should create a new profile.
And the Java stuff will still be there. It is uninstalled separately at your operating system's control panel, I believe. You can disable the plugins you don't want, too. Just go into Tools > Add-ons > Plugins.
And for future reference, if you uninstall Firefox and check the box that says to delete your private data too, it will clean every single trace of Firefox from your computer. This isn't some fishy software you download from a fishy site. Firefox is clean and safe to use :)

I recelntly updated my iphone 3GS and now it will not connect to my wireless internet(wont find the server at all no matter what)

Firefox will not connect to internet, period; all troubleshooting on my end has been done

Firefox will not connect to any webpage. This is occurring daily and constantly. I have road runner service for internet access. I have done all troubleshooting on my end -- emptying cache, resetting modem, resetting router, etc. I cannot connect to internet. My computer is checked -- Windows troubleshooting, etc. Firefox has also been crashing at least 4-5 times a day on average. Sometimes I have a couple of days free of crashes. Most times, this is becoming infuriating. I have to be on line for work. I have gone through checks and pinging with the internet service through Time Warner Cable. What is going on? It's impossible that every website in the world has a broken server!!!

So you also rebooted your router correct? Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

After updating to Firefox 3.6.15, Firefox will not connect to the Internet, even after uninstalling and re-installing Firefox in my Windows XP environment.

After downloading the Firefox 3.6.15 update, my problems began. Firefox would not connect to the Internet. When I rebooted my PC, Firefox said that it couldn't access any Web sites. I uninstalled Firefox, then downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.15. I still have the same problem: Firefox will not connect to the Internet. I am running Windows XP, service pack 3. I never had problems with Firefox until I installed version 3.6.15.

I have XP Pro. I tried installing 3.6.15 and could not open it. I did a system restore and 3.6.14 would no longer open. I tried again installing 3.6.15 and got a message that the previous version had not uninstalled properly. Tried uninstalling.
As a precaution I used MozBackup to save my bookmarks etc. and also saved a system restore point.
I then clicked Start, My Computer, drive C, Program Files and deleted the Firefox folder.
I installed 3.6.15 and it is now working fine with all my bookmarks and addons loaded automatically.

I get a crash notice. Firefox will not launch at all -- it keeps giving crash notice. I also cannot generate a crash report. I have uninstalled and reinstalled -- same issue. It does not launch.

Firefox crashed this morning. It will not launch even after being uninstalled and reinstalled. All I can get is a crash box. It will not relaunch in any way
== This happened ==

This sounds the same as my issue. I was browsing in Firefox v6.0 last night and all of a sudden it closed with no notice or error message. When I tried to open FF I received the messaga; We're Sorry - Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts." I does not restart. I have been using IE to browse for a solution and nothing works other than opening as administrator. Now this problem is only on one of my laptops and is fine on my desktop and other laptops so it appears to be something specific to my laptop which is running Window XP Home and Service Pack 3.
Some suggestions were to change the profile (did not work), end the firefox.exe process in task manager (not running in processes) and delete an xpicleanup.exe (not listed).
The only thing that works is to run as administrator but I have to do this everytime. Is ther a solution?

After a crash and update firefox will not connect to any webpages. Internet explorer is working fine. What's going on?
