Address bar will not go to any website that I type, just opens a blank page.
When I type an address into the address bar, it just opens a new blank page. If I type in google.com, google, or www.google.com it still does it. I have to type it into the search bar and then choose it from the list that comes up. The only addresses that work are ones that are remembered in my history.
Tried to fix the problem opening FF safe with no luck
I 've disabled all addons and plugins with no luck too
Addresses that does not work: http:// chrome:// file:// ...
'''Also search box does not work and there aren't any engines available.'''

The address bar will not load the page I typed, nor will the search bar work. I have used the mouse to click and enter to load the page but nothing happens.
That issue can be caused by the AVG Safe Search extension

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Since updating to Firefox 4 on my OSX 10.5.8 mac Firefox will not go to any website
Since updating to Firefox 4 on my OSX 10.5.8 mac Firefox will not go to any website. Firefox will launch but it won't load anything, the page is entirely blank - no home page loads - nothing. Also - It will not let me install any add ons. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. other apps such as Safari and Mail work as normal. I need Firefox - please help if you can. Thanks
You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

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.

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).

My MacBook Pro (OS 10.7.2) will not load some sellers websites that bounce through yahoo. Other Macs on same network work fine. I have reset Safari, tried other browsers, eliminated cookies..... to no avail. All computers running 10.7.2. I have reset Safari, tried other browsers, trashed out cookies. This has me baffled. My other macs running the same OS version work fine. Flash is up to date and have done the current software update. Any help please. I have not blocked any sites and am administator for all machines. I have tried signing in as Guest. Nothing works.
After searching other users questions with related problem, I found that VirusBarrier 6 was the issue. Reconfigured settings there and problem solved.

I changed out my wireless router, from a Linksys to a Netgear. Everything seemed to work fine, but shortly afterward Firefox could not be used to find any websites, and gave me the message above. The same happened with Internet Explorer, but a tech representative for my ISP directed me to the page where "proxy server" was incorrectly checked and it fixed the problem. I don't know where to go in Firefox to find the same or a similar page. My laptop continued to work fine for some time after, but eventually developed the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, with no luck, and all desktop shortcuts based on Firefox are inoperative. I just keep getting the message that the proxy server is rejecting connections. Since I did not select a proxy server, I don't know how to deselect it.
No idea what "tried everything" means.
Here is how you troubleshoot a password problem.
Go to your email providers web mail page and verify that you have a working username and password by logging into your account there. If you cannot log in there, look for the link to reset your password. Your email password is administered with your email provider.
Once you have a working password you need to remove any stored passwords in Thunderbird and replace with the new, working password.
From the menu bar select''' Tools-Options-Security-Passwords-Stored Passwords'''
Remove the passwords for the problem account. Close Thunderbird and restart it. You will be asked for a password. Enter the new password.
No menu bar with Tools? Press the '''alt '''key.
FYI: Thunderbird settings are stored in a different file from the program. Removing the program and reinstalling just keeps you busy for a little while and rarely fixes anything. As you have seen the old settings are picked up when Thunderbird is reinstalled. -
Search will not work, no default search and will not go to any websites but my bookmarks
My kids were playing on my computer yesterday and now today when I load firefox, it will not search or go to any other websites but those that I have bookmarked. If I type in a search term and click enter, whatever I typed just erases. I did run a virus scan and found a few that were erased, I tried to refresh firefox, nothing is working. Google chrome is working fine, but I prefer firefox. A few things I noticed. When I click tools/options/search, there is nothing on the screen (no search engines listed, not even a default one) and the option where you can click the drop down menu is tiny and nothing happens if you try to open the menu?? I am totally lost here, please help!
First, I suggest you turn on the password for your user account.
Second, give them their own accounts (limited).
Without knowing what went wrong, we will have to try a few things.
Create a new profile;

'''Mac:''' Navigate to '''/Applications/Utilities.''' Open the Terminal application.
In the Terminal application, enter the following:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -p
If you were able to make a new profile, use these to restore the old data.

My bookmarks tool bar will not take me to website
I have many items on my bookmark tool bar. All of a sudden, they do not take me to the web address they used to. I have made no change to my options and cannot figure out why this is no longer working. When I mouse over the bookmark, it tells me in the lower left screen the web site assigned to the bookmark
Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

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.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.

Firefox will not go to any website and i have done all the suggestions
I can get internet explorer to work but not firefox. It stopped working before i updated it. I get this messageUnable 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.you have definitely tried the correct steps, all you would need to do now is a back up & restore to factory settings. If after that the issue remains then you would most likely need a replacement unit.

it was working fine before i updated to the new Firefox version 8. can i delete this version or can i fix this problem
Do you have AVG Safe Search installed? It blocks use of the Enter key after typing in a search string.
Disable it by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions. You should be able to find it in there. -
I just installed office 365 Home Premium editiion and have lost my ICloud capabilities. I cannot sign in nor will Photostream work. A message comes up that says I need Outlook on my computer (I had it before the 365 was loaded). I checked on-line and it says that windows 7 does not support outlook and that I cannot download it (don't know how I got it before). I am totally confused as what to do. Really upset as I needed the new office package as Windows 7 wouldn't support the 2010 started edition any longer without my buysing that. Figured it made sense to get the newest version. Packaging says that it contains outlook. I don't know what to do at this point.

Did you remove the existing installation of Office before installing the new one?
I checked on-line and it says that windows 7 does not support outlook and that I cannot download it (don't know how I got it before).
Outlook is part of Office 365, and Windows 7 supports all versions of Outlook back to 2003.
I am totally confused as what to do.
You need to correctly remove all versions of Office on your Mac, you need to remove their settings as well. You need to save your Office Userdata from removal by moving it temporarily. I would also uninstall iCloud.
Then reinstall Office 365 followed by iCloud.
