After I updated Windows my Firefox will not load completley, the page is nothing but boxes.

I updated windows 2 days ago and since then all of the pages I try to go to will not load up properly. Everything on the page is boxed off. I am using Windows Vista and have 4.01 Firefox. I already looked at my add-ons and removed or disabled the things that said they were not compatible.

Did you remove the Firefox program folder before reinstalling Firefox?
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Firefox will not load to the web, even after 2nd download.

    I have used firefox as a web browser because our school page works best with it. I have used firefox for over three months. This weekend firefox will not load. The screen message says unable to load web page, try again button is displayed, all to no avail.

    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.

  • 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!

  • The last week, Firefox will not load up the NEW YORK TIMES. So, I have had to use Safari to do so. If this continues, I'm going to quit using your browser, and begin using Safari all the time!

    The last week, Firefox will not load up the NEW YORK TIMES. So, I have had to use Safari to do so. If this continues, I'm going to quit using your browser, and begin using Safari all the time!

    There are several other similar posts in this forum with the answers. Your post appears third in my Google search today looking for a solution so I thought I'd add the solution here as well.
    It is obviously a bug in either (or both) Firefox and the NYT.
    The quickest solution is to simply go to the VIEW Menu in Firefox, then the ZOOM option and choose RESET.
    I use Mac and this happens in Firefox 3.6.10. It does not happen in other browsers like Safari, Chrome and Camino, and it did not occur before last week.
    It has also occurred in the iOS version of Safari on iPad. Not sure how to fix it there.

  • 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 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!

  • Firefox will not load to home page. Loads to last page. Tried ALL fixes. Ready to go to chrome unless you can fix.

    Firefox will not open to home page. I have read all the articles, and tried all the fixes. Safe mode, complete reinstall...everything. Firefox has way to many of these issues. Can you help?

    First step in troubleshooting - what have you tried ("all the fixes" isn't enough information)
    Start with the basics. For example, have you done this:
    # Click: Menu > Options > General
    # Set "When Firefox starts:" to "Show my home page"
    # Set "Home Page" to whatever website you want Firefox to load when it starts.
    # Click OK
    See also: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-set-the-home-page
    Does this work?
    If no, have you tried this? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save You may simply need to reset Firefox.

  • Firefox will not load any web pages since update

    Using Galaxy Nexus, installed update today. I have ICS version 4.0.1. Pages will not load at all. Even the firefox pages on the home page will not load. I verified with using both wifi and my network, and checked the stock browser from the phone which works, but no success with Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox, restarted my phone, re-installed, and the same issues are happening. Any idea how to get this back to normal?

  • Firefox will not load my home page

    When I enter my home page url (my.yahoo.com) firefox searches for the address but comes up with a blank page. Chrome browser can find the page with no problem. Firefox has no problem loading www.yahoo.com.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

  • I did an update and now Firefox will not load.

    We were asked to do an update for firefox yesterday and ever since that we haven't been able to use it. It say's "Problem loading page, the connection has timed out.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have tried a system restore. Today I tried to go into the profile manager and delete any we had and reinstall firefox again. I am lost, anyone know what to do?

    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.
