Can I stop Firefox from always opening in Work Offline mode because it's preventing my Macbook from accessing Internet on our wireless home network?

Sorry, I should have said iMac, not Macbook, if it makes a difference. The problem is Firefox 3.6.10 always starts in Work Offline mode, and Internet won't activate unless we restart, sometimes up to five times.
The iMac is on our home wireless network which we had no problems with before using Safari on the Macbook we upgraded from.
Note: I'm posting this query from another computer.

Did you check the network setting?
Sounds that you have set to connect automatically when a connection is not available.

  • Firefox - Working offline mode

    Can anyone explaine to me why Firefox occassionally switches to the working offline
    mode while being connected to the internet (usually via Airport)?
    Also, how do I stop this from happening?
    Thanks.

    I notice this happen if my computer has lost connection with a wireless server at the moment I am making a request for a web page even if it automatically restores the connection.
    As for stopping it, that's a question more readily answered on forum on Firefox's web site since it's not Apple software.

    You can also manage all permissions on the about:permissions page via the location bar.<br />
    Use "All Sites" to set the defaults.
    You can open about:xxxx pages via the location bar like you open a website.<br />
    Firefox uses the about: protocol to access internal Firefox (setting) pages.

  • I do not want to upgrade to 7.0, I am attending online college and the upgraded version does not work with my school. How can I stop Firefox from upgrading? I have to keep uninstalling the upgrade and installing the old one.

    It's not a good idea to allow websites to redirect to another site until you know for sure the original site is trustworthy.
    But if you still want to do it (again not a good idea).
    Tools>Options>Advanced>General - In Accessibility, uncheck "warn me when web sites try to redirect..." option.

    Hello darkhawk,
    Thank you for the recommendation.  I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one  - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
    Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
    If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

    Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

  • How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

    How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

    Yes. But, I see from the THOUSANDS of responses here concerning Firefox memory issues that other people have had no more success than I have at trying to STOP Firefox's memory gluttony. The fact that Firefox runs fine (like the good old days) for a while after re-booting and registry cleaning shows that something is going on beyond the trivial/ineffective suggestions offered in the referenced links.
    Having to re-boot several times a day to get Firefox out of the molasses is such a pain, that it's no wonder people are going back to IE, or like me, reluctantly relying more and more on Google Chrome.

  • How can I get Firefox to automatically open a new search in a new tab please?

    How can I get Firefox to automatically open a new search in a new tab please? [Without me manually opening the tab]

    For searches from the Search Bar, when you use the Enter key.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Pref = '''browser.search.openintab''' = double-click to toggle to '''true'''

  • Can I configure Safari to always open pages in a new tab?

    Can I configure Safari to always open web pages in a new tab?

    I guess what I'm looking for is a new tab for each web page.
    AFAIK, Safari doesn't support automatically opening a new tab for each page.
    Check the Safari Extensions Gallery... From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Safari Extensions...
    Glims might have a feature you can use >  http://www.machangout.com
    It's free and compatible with Safari 6 and Mountain Lion.

  • Firefox lately always opens a new window

    Whenever I click a link in firefox, whether I option-click it or right-click it and choose "Open in new Tab." Firefox lately always opens a new window, not a tab. For the life of me, I cannot get it to open a page in a new tab.
    There was a time when I had one window open, and every time I would choose to create a new tab, it would create it in that window instead of the window I was currently in, but I have since closed that window, and now I cannot get a link to open in a new tab no matter what I do.
    I have tried both selecting and deselecting "Open new windows in a new tab instead" In Firefox preferences, restarting Firefox in "Safe" mode, etc. to no avail.
    How do I fix this?

    There are other settings in about:config that might be causing that effect.
    <pre>browser.link.open_newwindow
    3 = divert new window to a new tab (default) (checked*)
    2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*)
    1 = force new window into same tab
    * First checkbox in Options > Tabs (on Mac, Preferences > Tabs)
    browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
    0 = open_newwindow preference honored for all new windows
    2 = open_newwindow preference honored for all new windows except script windows with features (default)
    1 = open_newwindow preference ignored completely (same effect as open_newwindow=2)
    browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external
    -1 = open_newwindow applies to external links (default)
    3 = open external links in a new tab
    2 = open external links in a new window
    1 = open external links in active tab </pre>

  • When I install firefox version 4, it is in offline mode and I cannot open it. How do I get around this problem.

    when I install firefox version 4, it is in offline mode and I cannot open it.

    In version 3.6.17, click '''File''', then click '''Work Offline '''to remove the checkmark.
    In version 4.0.x right click a blank part of the Tab Bar and then click "Menu Bar". This will reinstate the text links. Then do the same as above.
    To revert to the layout without the text links, repeat the same steps.
    Sometimes, in FF4, you can hit the ALT key to toggle the text links on and off, but I've noticed in posts from other users that it doesn't always work.
