Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

  • Firefox will not open ANY site. Wont work AT ALL. Nothing seems to be working.

    Firefox will not open ANY site. It worked last night, but not today. I uninstalled it many times, didn't worked. It displays the screen that says "unable to connect" yet chrome and explorer both work. I have disconnected and reconnected a few times, restarted my laptop, neither of those worked either. I have also tried turning "safe mode" off after re installing firefox, but again, that did not work. I need help :(.
    Although, before this, firefox was not letting me use voice recording sites or any site that let me watch television online. It would load the commercials, but not play the episode. It wouldn't even let me upload pictures to photobucket. However, it worked using chrome or explorer.

    Looks like a bunch of people have this problem. Anyone got any ideas to fix this???

Is ther a way to delete the last update to firefox?

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
    #In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • Firefox will not open any webpages, but other browsers work. How can I fix it?

    Firefox will not load any web pages. I recently ran a registry cleaner/virus scan on my computer and now Firefox 5 will not load ''any''webpages. It displays a "Problems Loading Page" error message. Other browsers still work. I tried uninstalling and re-installing firefox, even restoring to a previous restore point, but nothing seems to work. How can I fix this?

  • Firefox will not open any website and I have done what your help section has instructed. after it updated quit working.

    After Firefox updated I cannot open any website but explorer can. I have done everything your help site suggested. I like firefox and would like to keep using it. Can you help? I am using windows vista 64 bit operating system.

    After upgrading, sometimes your firewall will not recognize the new Firefox version and, therefore, not allow it to access the internet. To remedy that situation,
    #you must remove Firefox from your firewall's allowed applications list,
    #then restart firefox, go to a website, the firewall will detect the new Firefox version and
    #then give the necessary permissions for your firewall to allow Firefox access to the internet

  • Firefox will not open .aspx files. I can open them with IE. What's up?

    I updated Java, uninstalled and then re-installed Firefox. It will not open .aspx files. Internet explorer opens them just fine. .pdf files open fine also. Don't know?

    How would I change the aspx to pdf? As far as going to the menu/applications, I don't see an aspx in the list? Sorry, but I'm pretty rank in this department. Maybe it is the website and not Firefox, although as stated, IE opens them fine.

  • Firefox will not open some sites and does not function on those opened

    Firefox does not open comcast.net and fails to respond on other websites. It opens others but does not function once opened.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.86 Safari/533.4

    I am an ordinary user and use FireFox on a Windows XP pro sp2 OS.
    I can open and run FireFox by a variety of methods, and do not need to have any firefox: folders, files, or shortcuts on my Desktop unless I so wish.
    I suspect you have a rather none standard installation. The quickest solution may well be to uninstall FireFox ( which you have presumably not been able to use anyway) and reinstall it. I would suggest; at least initially; you just use the standard default installation you are offered.
    You will probably find this page of use, the [http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/3.6.13/releasenotes/ Release Notes], it includes links for downloading FireFox, and has advice and information about installing and downloading.
    I am sure you will have further questions when you try to install but click on the blue link above and look at that page and then post back again and I am sure someone will try to help you.
    I am assuming that you are already on the Internet with a browser such as Internet Explorer, and a broadband connection, or are you trying to install from a CD or something that has a FireFox install file on it. (if so what are you using, and what is the version of firefox)

  • Firefox will not open some sites, no error is reported, it just sits forever with the status bar half way.

    Firefox can not open some sites but no error is reported
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://www.aol.com

    yea, that has happenend to me as well.
    Well this is what has happenend to me anyway.
    I will go to the apple site and enter the discussions forum, and the blue bar in the url box will jsut hang for minutes sometimes. THen the page will finally open as well as the blue bar will show up all the way.
    But then i will click on say , the safari forum, and the blue bar will open just alittle, though the page will not, and ill wait anoither 2 minue and it finally open.
    is this what they call, "hung up", or "hanging?"
    but mine doesnt time out, i get no error message. Just th spinning ball , and sometimes no spinning ball.
    lol, whoes post is this?
    sorry

  • Firefox will not open any pages

    Two days ago my computer would let me open firefox, but it will not display any of the pages - not even my home page. It tells me it is done at the bottom of the screen but nothing is showing up. I prefer to use firefox, but I am having to use another broser.

    A new version of Firefox was released 2 days ago, so it is possible that a Firewall is blocking the new version of Firefox. For details on that see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

  • Firefox will not open a site because it thinks it is not trustworthy, but it has previously done so.

    When I try to open a previously trusted site to make an appointment on line with my doctor Firefox says that it is not to be trusted. I then used IE to go to the site and it allowed me access.
    Please can you advise me as to how I can overcome this problem.
    I have tried different things from your help pages but there are too many alternatives and it becomes confusing. This is the error message:
    www.tramita.gva.es uses an invalid security certificate.
    The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.
    (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

    You can retrieve the certificate to check who issued the certificate.
    You should always do that to see if that helps to identify the problem (missing intermediate certificate or something else).
    *Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    *Click the "View..." button to inspect the certificate and check who is the issue.
    If you can't add an exception, but get a pop-up with the error message then you can check the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.xul.error_pages.enabled browser.xul.error_pages.enabled] on the about:config page and make sure that the value is set to the true (default).

  • After shutting down my iMac last night, Firefox will not open this morning and I don't know why?

    My iMac is set to open to my home page My Yahoo with Firefox browser. This morning my Firefox browser is not opening and I don't know why? It does open on my new MacBook Air as per usual. I click on the icon but it does not respond even though I have opened it. this has never happened to me before and I don't know why it's happening now. I did a clean reinstall but that didn't work. Now what?????? With the add-on Troubleshooter should I have asked this question on my iMac using Safari? I am on my MacBook Air asking it.

    Actually it does open but nothing shows up. I can't use my iMac unless I use the Safari browser and I want to use Firefox! I'm at my wits end as to how to fix this. I have tried everything that troubleshooting has suggested on Mozilla support. Help!!!!!!!!

  • My Firefox will not open at all. I can't even get in to my user Profile to change that and see if it helps. All of my bookmarks and passwords are saved there!

    I did a Windows update this am. As soon as that was completed, my Firefox froze and wouldn't respond at all. I had to close it out. After I tried to reopen it, and it won't open at all. I try to uninstall it to reinstall and it says "Firefox must be closed to complete this task". I checked in my task manager and Firefox isn't running any more. I have shut down the computer a few times. I even did a restore to a previous day, and it still doesn't work. I am so stressed out. All of my passwords and bookmarks are saved there! Please help

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
