Firefox can't find the server at playfi.sh

every time that I try to click on a link for Playfish free gifts for apps that I play through Facebook or through an email to a link being offered by Playfish, I get the following message:
Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at playfi.sh.
Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
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.
I have cleaned cache, checked firewall, allowed in pop-up blocker, everything and nothing works... I can play the apps with no problem, it is only when trying to collect the items offered as gifts from Playfish.

You have malware.

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server.

    Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server. I have to click the link several time before it will load and sometimes when they do load it does not show the page right. It is like the HTML is messed up or something. I have tried everything I can think of. I started in safe mode, still did it., I removed add-ons, still did it., I reset Firefox and still did it., I completely uninstalled Firefox and re-installed Firefox and it still does it. I have tried Malware Bytes Anti-Malware scans and Avast boot-time scans and found no malware or viruses. I have found that those websites open the first time with no problems on my IE9 and they used to do so in Firefox 26.0. I'm at my wit's end. The website links are in my bookmarks and are used all the time so they are trusted and my avast is set to allow them. They range from news websites to gun websites and everything I have read says that Mozilla does not filter those unless something has changed recently.

    Try this as a first step;<BR><BR>
    Clear the Cache '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"'''''<BR><BR>
    and<BR><BR>
    Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"'''''<BR><BR>
    If there is still a problem,

  • I frequently get the "Firefox can't find the server" error message.

    I frequently get the "Firefox can't find the server" error message. Refreshing the page normally causes the page to load, although sometimes it takes more than one try.
    I have checked my connection settings. IPv6 and DNS prefetching are disabled, as recommended by this article: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20cannot%20load%20websites%20but%20other%20programs%20can?s=Firefox+can%27t+find+the+server+at&r=1&as=s

    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.

  • Lower "firefox can't find the server at"

    when Firefox fails to get to a server, it bumps the message box "firefox can't find the server at [server]".
    example: i'm on my main tab, opening several links with middle click. while on it, firefox gets me to a background tab for that message. then when i get back to my main tab, i forget where i was...
    the way i want to work is that the message will appear only when i click on that tab (and possibly have the tab flash to some other color until then).
    is it possible?
    is there an addon or about:config twaek that can change it?
    Xircal: what i asked is not why i get the message (is seems the server is down, or giving back 404- file not found).
    what i wanted is to get the message only when i get to the said tab, not while doing something else.

    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_any_website
    Sometimes the page may have changed in the meantime, but the tab you've gone back to hasn't refreshed to reflect that. Hitting the F5 key to reload the page will work if that is indeed the case.
    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit, possibly the one called "Redirect Remover" you have installed.

    Try resetting your proxy server. Go to Tools, Options, Advanced, Settings and select one. I must do this every time I restart Firefox -- but at least after that, I'm okay until the next restart.

  • "Firefox can't find the server at ..." error message

    I frequently get the "Firefox can't find the server at ..." message but in most cases clicking "refresh" gets to the relevant website. Based on limited usage of IE, IE doesn't give the same problems. In attempting to resolve the issue I've deleted and reallowed Firefox through the firewall, tried starting in safe mode, cleared the cache, made suggested additional entries though About:config, etc. all to no avail. Judging from discussion threads this problem appears to be very common but none of the solutions I've tried work. Any suggestions for possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    This problem has occurred frequently since upgrading to 3.6 and upwards, all the way to 6.0. It is so persistent a problem that I am seriously considering bidding farewell to Firefox for a while.
    I have IE, Chrome, Opera, Netscape and ArmorSurf as alternatives. Even the old Netscape Navigator (version 9+) gives me less problems than Firefox.
    Another major annoyance with Firefox: Upgrades too often cause the loss of previously functioning add-ons (some of which had cost money for the premium versions).
    Firefox has lost its razzle-dazzle for me. Too bad.

  • "Firefox can't find the server at c"

    When I try to open a local .htm file, I get "Firefox can't find the server at c." Also, in the address bar of my previous version of FF, I could type file://etc. without the file name; it would display the local directory, from which I could choose a file that it would display. Now, that doesn't happen, either, on FF 25.0. I've found something that seems related to this at bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637052. Suggestions?

    Please Go to the link:https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox
    the choose the customized Control Option.
    I think This link help to overcome the problems.

  • Firefox can't find the server at anywebsite

    Firefox and IE cant' find the server on any website. what so ever.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.

  • Why now do I get the error message that states Firefox can't find the server at ......

    Majority of times when I search for a particular web site I get the error message that states that "Firefox cannot find the server at ... " (site I am looking for)

    I still have the problem although I uninstalled Mozilla (clearing the cache didn't work and neither did Word diagnostics), so have ended up thinking it could be Norton (the manual update worked x1) or Windows. Today I found an answer: disable the preview pane in Windows Explorer - there's a history of problems with this view.

  • When I open a website or a link, a window opens up with multiple tabs with the messages "Firefox can't find the server at xn--9ca960n." and "Index of file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/" , and other similar messages. I have deleted the cookies, hist

    Every time i open a new window, search something in google, or click a link, a firefox window with four tabs comes up.

    Hello Susanne.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • What causes the message on startup- Firefox can not find the server. Could the server block more than two pcs on line at any one time ??

    I have two pcs linked to my Telkom server. I tried to add a third to test it. It sees the server and states excellent connection. But I am unable to get Firefox to open. Every attempt ends with "Firefox cant see the server". I suspect its my server which will only allow max 2 pc at any one time altho I unplugged the one (its on wire to the router) and tried. Still got the same message. Same with Opera when tried.

  • Why the hell do I keep getting this friggin' error msg"Server not found Firefox can't find the server at .................." ?

    Done all suggestions in online help (windows firewall settings, updates, ect.) No problem with IE8 with same webpages.

    I'm looking for a solution for the "Server Not Found message I keep getting repeatedly, and this thread does not provide a solution.
    However, I had to sign in to say that the "Reset Firefox" feature should never be presented as a first solution to any problem. It's a last resort, not first resort. Doing so is lazy thinking and reckless, especially when dealing with users who may be newbies or inexperienced, or who may not read instructions so carefully and understand the ramifications of wiping their settings and customizations.
    There are plenty of articles and Knowledge Base entries that touch upon this user's problem, so why wasn't he directed to those, or at least the invariable "Open in safe Mode", before suggesting such a drastic "solution"?

  • Since downloading Firefox 5 last week, we cannot access the internet. The message "server not found" pops up along with the statement "firefox can't find the server at (whatever webpage you enter). How can this problem be fixed..other browsers stink.

    as stated above. I don't know what else to say.

     (The annoying error) Internet Explorer cannot display this page  Solved
    This problem can be solved in seconds with just 8 or 10 clicks of your mouse. As you are reading this you are already in Internet explorer. At the top left hand side of your screen you should see the below words.
    File   Edit   View   Favourites   Tools   Help 
    If you can't see the above words then right click on any blank area on the third bar from the top of your screen and click on menu bar
    Now click on Tools then click on Internet Options.  Then click on the Advanced tab at the top right hand side of that page.  Now click on the Reset button near the bottom right hand side. Now close and then re-open your Internet explorer.
    That's it folks you're all done!  Best regards to you all, PROBE

  • I keep getting the following error "server not found.....firefox can't find the server at http." when I try to log on to one certain website.

    I was able to access this website prior to 2 weeks ago. I can access this website on other computers without issues, and I can also access all other websites on this computer.
    The following is what is listed in the navigation bar when I get the error message.
    http://iphantom.com/wisd/restricted.html?fn=Default&FP=l&ip=10.201.5157&ibip=66.206.97.9&ldu=l&re=0&bu=wps.prenhall.com
    I noticed it says wisd/restricted, but I can log on to this website using my wisd computer without issue, and I get the same error message at my home/other locations. So I know that it is not restricted. I have used all the other suggestions "no proxy", shut down firewalls, but nothing has worked.
    Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
