After update to Firefox 9 the browser cannot load any webpage.

When I try to visit any webpage there is an error message saying that Firefox cannot connect to the server and suggesting that I check the internet connection, regardless of what webpage I try to visit. I am using Internet Explorer right now to be able to report this problem...

Thanks! After rebooting and updating Norton Internet Security the problem was fixed.

After updating to Firefox 4 the browser will not open

I updated to the new firefox 4. Since then the browser will not open. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling but this has not resolved the issue.

I couldn't get it to start at first. Then I found a forum that hade other issues with plugin and firefox 4 where the solution was to start firefox 4 in 32 bit mode and not in 64bit mode. After that it works nice for me.
It might also be useful to change the setting for the time that scripts are allowed to run.
dom.max_script_run_time should be set to higher number than 80 according to the support.
Good luck!

Firefox updated yesterday and now it won't load any webpages. Have reviewed articles on this problem and checked everything. Still won't load. All other browsers work fine.

Have checked firewall and network settings and compared to other computers running firefox. All is ok, but firefox won't load any webpages. This started immediately after it updated yesterday. No error messages.
Have been having problems with updates on serveral of our computers for a month or so. Previous problems have always been that firefox renames a file it needs by adding moz.backup to the file name and I have to search for the file and remove it. This time I'm getting no error messages.

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.

After updating to Firefox 6, the menubaritems are in English and "History" gives the Bookmarkslibrary

In my previous version of Firefox (5) i used to have all items in the menubar in Dutch. After updating to version 6, these items are in English and I have not found out how to change that.
Furthermore, asking for "History/show all history" brings me to the Bookmarkslibrary....

When I click on a tab in the toolbar the tab flies off the screen to the right. Suddenly after using firefox for years I cannot load any pages

I'm using Windows XP. I've used Firefox for years but in recent weeks I've had the following problem. When I endeavour to open an internet site the tab appears in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen instead of loading the page. When I click on the tab it appears to fly across the right of screen and disappears from view. Fortunately we've left an internet page OPEN so that we can redirect our search via that. Today we had a power cut and now I cannot get Firefox to load anything. At the moment I'm using Explorer to write this. We've made no changes to our system and we're continuing to use the same virus checker we're had for years. (Kaspersky)
One last point. When I try to load any site in Links the tab changes to the correct name but then flies off as I've previously mentioned. When I right click on the tab and choose Max or Min I have no reaction. I've tried rebooting the computer and turning it off but this does not fix the problem. I've also uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled the latest version all to no avail. Please, can someone help? Micam

After update to Firefox 8, the pause function on videos no longer works

I updated both my desktop and laptop to Firefox 8.
The laptop is a Toshiba and it's OS is Win 7 with Kapersky AV. The laptop has no problems.
When using Firefox on the desktop, which is a clone, with Win XP as the OS, and Norton AV, all up to date, the pause function on videos often does not work.
I have been able to play the same videos on this desktop computer using IE 8 and pause them with no problem.
I need to have the pause function work, because I am interrupted a lot, and it can take me 3 hrs. to watch a one hour video due to that.
Can anyone help? If not, I'll just have to use IE, though I much prefer Firefox. Thanks.

The Statusbar is gone and the "lock" with it, as of Firefox 4.0. Security information about a web page is shown by the Site Identity Button. 
The old padlock could give users a false sense that a site is secure by not supplying all of the information about a site and only showed that there is a secure connection that didn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. The Site Identity Button was introduced in Firefox 3.0 to show more complete "identity" information for HTTPS web pages.

You can add a padlock to the location bar with the Padlock add-on- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon

Performance Regression: After update to FireFox 18 permanent high CPU load

After the last update FireFox started to continuously eat a whole CPU on my 2-core laptop. My usage pattern (regarding browsed sites and/or activated plugins) has not changed, but I must confess that I'm a heavy user of plugins.
I suspect the problem may arise from a changed performance behaviour of a plugin due to the new JS engine of FF18, but how can I easily trace this problem further down. I.e. is there a way to inspect the collected performance data of firefox (activated)?

I use FF always with many tabs opened, min 100, sometimes up to 300+. After Updating FF17 to FF18 I've recognized a much more higher CPU-usage.
This issue doesn't occur as long as there are just a few tabs opened, or it doesnt' be of any consequence at least. The CPU-load of FF18 gets higher with each opened tab. When you close the tabs, the CPU-usage also gets normal. There is nearly no Flash-content and just few JS working on the websites (thanks to NoScript and ABP).
The System: i5-CPU, 16GB RAM, Win7 x64
FF17.01: CPU-load 1.0% average at 300 tabs
FF18.01: CPU-load 10.0% average at 300 tabs FF18.01: CPU-load 5.0% average at 150 tabs FF18.01: CPU-load 3.3% average at 100 tabs
A fresh install and disabling all addons (even in Safemode) didn't fix the problem. It seems, that FF is permanetly doing something with the tabs to being able to speedup on user-action. It's all good, as long as there are just a few tabs opened, but it's getting worse with each further opened tab.
I've opened a bug-ticket at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=832864

After I update to firefox 4.0 it wont load any of my facebook games. And I don't know how to fix it. Please help Internet Explorer sucks!

I updated to firefox 4.0 and it wont load any of my facebook games.

Facebook games are usually Flash based. 
Your More system details list show that you have the Flash plugin, so that should be working. 
Make sure that you do not block Flash.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Firefox crashes when trying to load any webpage

I can open firefox and it is fine, but as soon as i try and search from the google tab or enter any web address in the web address bar it crashes. Everytime, every website. Nothing works.
I have tried deleting firefox and my profile and re-installing both firefox and my profile. I have tried windows update, i have tried safe mode (still crashes in safe mode), i have updated all the plugins to the latest version.
The only thing that works is if i log out of my windows profile and then log in as administrator and it works in the administrator profile
Crash ID is the following :

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
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.

I cannot load any webpages unless I am on wifi

Just as the subject says. I was sitting in my house and figured id test it so I turned off Wifi was connected to edge and I get a message that the server cannot be reached and help would be greatly apprecieted. Thanks

Hello Chris.
So your saying when WiFi is on. Things with Safari work great? What about Stocks? Weather? Youtube? do they all work on your WiFi?
Also when you do Switch to EDGE have you tried visiting multiple websites and get the same error?
Have you also tested Youtube? Weather? Stocks? as they use WiFi and EDGE.
In most cases if EDGE is not working you get no E icon, or you get an EDGE error message of some sort.
Has EDGE ever worked for you? or in your issue. Has Safari ever worked on EDGE?
Thank you for any more info you can provide so we can better assist you.

After updating to Firefox 4, the font size in my gmails are smaller. I need to get the larger size back. How?

On both the listing of gmails and the size of the font when gmails are opened, the font size is smaller than prior to upgrading to Firefox 4. I did not change any settings. I cannot see where I can change this back to larger fonts. Help?

I am using Windows 7 and ever since my last update to firefox 8, the browser seems to hang up when I open a new tab from a link. This happens when I go to a news story or even when I go to your support window.

I have tried to disable all my add-on modules but it doesn't make a difference. I have run chrome alongside Firefox and can open all the tabs fine, and I can watch Firefox just spin the processing icon and never load. I can hit the reload tab a bunch of times and sometimes part of the page will appear. If I hit the refresh tab while its processing sometimes it will bring up the page.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_places-database-file
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-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" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I have connected my Ipod to the wifi at my house. the ipod reads the signal and its great signal and has a check mark beside the name of the wifi connection as if it reads it, but absolutely nothing from the web loads.

I have two computers that are using the same wifi and the connection is great i am having no trouble with the connection to other devices just the IPOD Touch, please help!

hi Rayman94,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try the following:
- Follow this guide on how to show hidden devices on the device manager. When done, look under Device Manager > Imaging Devices or Other Devices and see if you can now see the camera or an unknown device.
- If you now see the Camera under Imaging Devices but is grayed out, try to right click on it > choose uninstall > delete the device driver then reboot the system. After the reboot, install the Camera Driver (AVC, Bison, Chicony, Lite-on) and observe.
- If you still can't see the Camera under Imaging Devices but you see an Unknown Device, follow this guide on how to identify it. Once identified, navigate to the C:\drivers\Camera Driver (AVC, Bison, Chicony, Lite-on)\HD folder and install the appropriate driver.

How do I remove the bookmark toolbar icons for websites? After updating to Firefox 22, add-ons don't help.

In the Bookmark Toolbar, the icons for websites take up too much space and are distracting. I used to use the Bookmarks - Deiconizer add-on but after updating to Firefox 22 it doesn't work anymore.
I tried adjusting the userChrome.css as in other posts but that does not work.
Please help!

Hi haweyext,
Did you see this thread from yesterday:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/964732 How do I keep the icons out of my Bookmarks Toolbar (tried Bookmarks Deiconizer) even after downloading files?]
If userChrome.css isn't working (note: you need to exit and restart Firefox before it takes effect), you can apply that rule to Firefox using the Stylish extension instead.
Does any of that help?

After update to Firefox 9 the browser cannot load any webpage.
