Firefox does not load web pages; it always says 'can't find server' on every page I try to load

Firefox 'can not find server' reply comes up on every page I try to load, including my home page. I have to retry or refresh 3-4 times before it takes.

Sounds like a proxy server issue.  Go to System Preferences... > Network
Select the AirPort from the left hand side
Click on the Locations combo box and select "Automatic"
Click on Advanced
Select the AirPort tab and enter your network name
Select TCP/IP tab. 
Configure IPv4 Using DHCP
Now click on Renew DHCP Lease.  After a few seconds you should get an IP address (probably 192.168.x.x)
Click on Proxies tab.
Select Auto Proxy Discovery and Use Passive FTP - de-select all other options.
Click on OK and Apply, etc.

  • Firefox does not show web page graphics or icons, mostly blanks or boxes with type.

    With one of the recent updates, Firefox shows web pages without the clickable graphics, such as this page (Ask a New Question) where above the details box, there are only two vertical lines. I know there should be something in those spaces, cause when I click in them something happens - like a dialogue box pops up or a word gets inserted into this typing. This is consistent on all web pages. Major photos show, just not the little graphics. Icons or graphics that are visible sometimes are offset (ex: this page has an arrow in a green box over lapping the outline of the Search Firefox Help box). Other than that, this page has only two other graphics, it's all type. Thanks.

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • Firefox does not load images on any website. This has been a problem for years

    It's not clear why. but only Firefox does not load images on web pages. Works fine on IE
    Follow all the troubleshooting steps at
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_don%27t_load
    no of it works. Never has. I see this problem all over. It's the main reason that users don't switch to Firefox.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

    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.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Firefox does not load on power up

    Firefox does not load when i power up my Windows XP desktop, even though i have a firefox shortcut in ...start menu\programs\startup alongside an Outlook 2007 shortcut and desktop.ini which both work.
    I've deleted the firefox shortcut and replaced it and rebooted but it still won't load on power up. I have to click on the shortcut to run it?

    Hi JakOrm,
    What version of Firefox are you trying to install?
    Microsoft doesn't allow Firefox on the surface RT, so unfortunately you can't install Firefox there.

  • Firefox does not load pages, comes back with server not found

    First I thought this was a problem with Firefox 4 beta but now I am having the same issue with 3.6.16
    About 70% of the times, Firefox does not open the web page and comes back with "Server not found" message. Interesting thing is it comes back with this message on the first 2 tries and then on the third try for the same link it will display the page. Always, 2 fails and 3rd time it works. Now during the first two times, internet commnection is working and if I try the same URL on IE it works without any issues. This started happening after I tried Firefox 4 beta. 4 is not uninstalled and I am back to 3.6.16. But the issue remains.
    I am using Win 7 64 Home Premium, SP1 is not applied yet but all updates are in place.

    Well, I'm using Firefox 4.0 and have the same problem. I tried to open my private homepage and my *.net-domain comes back with the "Server not found" message (my *.com-domain loads without any problem - same contents on both websites)
    I also tried to open my net-domain in FF portable - without any problems.
    Clearing the cache, deleting the cookies etc in FF4 does not help either.
    I also had the experience that FF4 does not load CSS5 websites (e.g. deviantart) properly (CSS does not work, website shows simply the html-version, a disgusting look). With FF portable the problem does not exist.
    I tried this on different machines (e.g. Windows XP Pro SP3 (office PC), Win7 Pro 64, Win Vista SP2... (home PCs) and there I'm experiencing the same issues with FF4 and various websites.

  • Firefox does not load a site

    i installed ff4. but when i start it, it does not load a web page. it just shows a blank page.

    Firefox 4 may be being blocked by your firewall. For more details on that and other possible causes see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

  • Firefox does not load random websites. Using a 3.6 or later version, with an XP OS.

    My Dad's laptop is using XP OS.
    He's been using Firefox quite a bit, until recently (about a month ago or more) when we go to any random website, it does not load. All it shows is a blank page and at the bottom bar it says "Done".
    But after refreshing it multiple times (and I mean A LOT of times) it either loads it or does not.

    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.

  • Firefox Does not load most of websites but other browsers does

    Hello, I have a problem.. Suddenly my firefox stopped working properly. I didnt install or changed a setting lately but still...

    It's a noscript bug. Install the latest development build will solve it. Check http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5699

  • Firefox does not load any websites now, after working well earlier today.

    Firefox is not working now - it does not load any websites. Message on screen says:- "8e6 Mobile Client - internet browsing is not possible at this time. Error:80001001".
    What I was doing before the problem:-
    I had spent time re-organising My Documents.
    One folder in My Docuamnts called "High Windows" contained the file "2101HighWin.msi", which I attempted to open.
    What I have done since the Firefox problem:-
    I have tried to uninstall 8e6 Mobile Client, but it won't let me.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox.
    I have used InternetExplorer8 to search thru the Mozilla troubleshooting pages.
    Please can you help?
