Can't access my financial sites - culprit Firefox 2.0 or Security Update ?

I recently installed Firefox 2.0 on all the Macs in our house. subsequently I installed the 2006/7 security update on my G5. Now, every time I try to access my banking sites on the G5(!0.3.8), which is my main desktop computer I get an errot message "trying to validate certificate from ******* using OCSP - server error"
My Macbook has no problem, nor the trusty G4 iMac.
Also, I can access these banking sites using Netscape.
I'm a long-term fan of Firefox - but this is so frustrating.
Any ideas, anyone?

Hope I can get to you this way... I am new to the fourm and I can not find a way to post a new question... I guess I am not very bright!
Here's my problem...it is somewhat siumular to the orginal thread.
My band just changed the security settings for logging into their system. When I log on to their sight I get the home page but the little box where you add your account number in the middle of the page (I know it is a little box becuase I have seen it on other computers) comes up as a solid line. They folks at the bank are not very helpful and have told me that I needed a JAVA update. I did this buy have had not luck. A few months back the bank did an update and I lost the ablity to read the "button boxes" on their home page, so this has been an ongoing problem. I could deal with the invisible button problem by just hacking around till I hit what I wanted, but this new problem will not allow me to inter my account number so that I can access my account. I would appreciate any help you can give and again, I am sorry for posting this way. I can not find a place anywhere on the fourms screen that says "New Post."
Thanks,
P.S. I have a 2003 IMAC running panther?. Mine is the funny looking half basketball looking computer.

I can't access a familiar site with firefox now. why do I have to change to IE. never have had to in the past

I watch a site NABC black bear cameras a lot. I have always been able to use Firefox. Lately it won't work. first it said it was adobe plug ins ...but I could then send crash report and reload page. Now none will load. But if I use Internet Explorer, it seems to be ok. I use Firefox for almost anything else, that will allow it, and was wondering, why, after all this time I can't now?
Have been watching this site for 2 years. and have had no trouble until now. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I feel a bit like Im walking into the past, but Im having the same issue same site. I have Clear, and can open the site in chrome. Not however in Safari.
Im making an effort to Un- Google my world so help on this frontier would be great, The folks at Clear say "We just sell access, we don't block." I believe them, they're not comcast.
Checking in Safari- im told that the sight is down.
Thanks for any insight.

I can't access most .mil sites pretty sure I just need it to let me add the security exception but it doesn't give me the option anymore.

Ever since I got the last two updates for Firefox I can't access most .mil sites like ako or even the us army library Europe site. These sites use to come up as untrusted sites that I just accepted and continued life. However now it goes straight to server not found page. I know the site links and bookmarks are good because they are what I used to use. I've read some of the other help situations that are similar and I can see some of the old certificates in the advanced options up nothing I've done in there had changed anything.

To try to distinguish between a change in Firefox and a problem in your settings, could you do a three-minute experiment?
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
''Be careful not to delete anything in this dialog.''
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Sept9, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Do the sites work any differently?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

Can't access my banking site past the identification page,

Can't access my banking site past the identification page. I was getting a message in Firefox, that said "your security settings have changed.... (no they have not), and something about "resetting, Yes or No. I pressed yes, but still could not get in. I pressed NO, and the message has gone, but still can't access the bank. I can access through "Explorer, but not Firefox.

Nevermind, I figured it out myself

CS5.5 refusing to open, launch so can't access urgent old site that requires work upon it

Dreamweaver CS5.5 refusing to open, launch so can't access urgent web site created within it a while back that requires work upon it. CS4 not open/launch itself either? Therefore can't even export a site file to open up in a newer version but that won't run, support vital menu editing within it.

Try clearing the program cache and/or restoring preferences...
Deleting a corrupted cache file
Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
If those don't work, you may need to reinstall using the Cleaner Tool. That won't affect your actual site files, but you would need to set-up the site definitions again within DW: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Can only access one web site

I can only access one web site . www.cisco.com. I am connected to the internet via a lynksys DSL Router, I am using dhcp and NAT from the Lynksys note:works fine for 3 other windows based pc's.
when I try to connect to any other site the page Hangs during load and neve displays.
I can ping all of the web sites that do not come up

Hello!
I am getting this error, but the above fix does not solve the issue, however I do know what has caused it.
I have an edmx file in a WCF webservice which feeds a silverlight app. The edmx is quite complex and a bit fragile, but was working fine up until I introduced our Industry Codes view into the model. The view is basically { ID, ParentID, Name, ... }. In my model I have created an association to itself which describes Children(*)/Parent(0/1) so I have a nice and tidy hierarchical structure. The edmx and the service build without any errors - hurrah! However, when I update the service reference I then get the below error (and a whole load of others as none of the webservice objects exist anymore):
Error 21 Custom tool error: Failed to generate code for the service reference 'WCF_ContactAdmin'. Please check other error and warning messages for details. X:\2008-054 ContactAdmin_Silverlight\Contact2_Admin_Silverlight\Service References\WCF_ContactAdmin\Reference.svcmap 1 1 Contact2_Admin_Silverlight
When I try the fix mentioned in the link above this error disappears, but then so do all the objects in the datamodel, so I cannot continue from there.
Having the hierarchical data objects defined in the EDM will make like so much easier in future, any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you!!

While on my bank website, I clicked the firefox box at the top (to agree to give annonymouse help) and my bank site was immediately locked. I have not been able since to access my bank site via firefox. How can I get it back??

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/915124''

How to enter a secure address in security so i can have access to web site

I used to be able to enter an address from a secure website and be able to access when I had internet explorer and with firefox I dont know where to enter address so I can access the secured we site.

Firefox doesn't have security zones like Internet Explorer. There's no Trusted Sites list to add sites to. Normally, web sites simply work, whether they're secure or not.
If secure websites don't load, see the following article.
* [[Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages]]
If the website does load but you're having some other problem with it, see the following article.
* [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]]
If neither of those answer your question, please post a link to the site and or a description of what doesn't work, or whatever error message is displayed.

Can't access some web sites with safari

Can't access financial web site since time before last of safari update. Any help?

In my original post, not today's, I had said I was having the issues on the Mini, running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari v.5.1.5 for my bank's pill pay. I should have been more specific as to which machine and OSX Safari browser I'm having the T-Mobile problem with. My mistake.
It is on both the MacMini and now the Air too. A moment ago, I was able to log in to my.t-mobile.com on the Air, but after putting into my Bookmarks folder, I can't do it anymore. The Log in button comes up greyed out instead of green.
I'm also still having trouble with my bank's bill pay section on both computers too.
I wonder if it's related to the saving of the log in info or putting in the Bookmark Folder?

Can't Access Myspace Profiles via Safari/Firefox/Explorer/Opera... help?

Hi,
I can't access 95% of all the profile pages I try to view on Myspace. It starts loading and then I get the spinning beach ball. I did some experimenting, and I turned off Javascript on Safari and they started loading again, but I can't access a lot of features-- I couldn't even log into this discussion without Javascript!! I think my javascript is corrupted. Is there a way to replace my javascript thingy? I'm really upset about this. My software is all up to date, as are my permissions. Any advice would be helpful.
~Patrick

Same here. Permissions repaired, PlugIns removed and reinstalled one after another (InputManagers: Chax, Menu Extra Enabler, PicLens, SafariBlock, SafariPlus, SIMBL), reinstalled flash, DivX, Flip4Mac, Perian. All up to date. But whatever I do, I can't access (most of the sites of) MySpace, YouTube, etc.! No difference whether I use Safari, FireFox or Opera: The processor speeds up to 100% and the beach-ball goes spinning round and round and… The only (but radical) solution than is pressing the power-button! I had this problem with Safari 2, I have it with Safari 3, and I definitely don't know what to do! Hoped with every update, but…
I don't know if that's a problem with flash or JavaScript or something completely different, but I can't see why Apple does not get that fixed! I mean, I'm really not the only one being frustrated by surfing the web while more and more blogs integrate YouTube-Videos… That's no fun using a mac!

Can't access certain Google sites (youtube and google-analytics)

I can't access Youtube or goole-analytics in Safari or in Firefox. In Safari, I get an error saying that Safari could not contact the server. Here are more symptoms:
- A ping from Terminal works. The site responds.
- No change when firewall is turned off.
- No change when LittleSnitch is turned off.
- No change when all settings in Safari are reset.
- google.com works fine.
- yahoo.com works fine.
- Other video sites work fine - only youtube is affected.
- Youtube videos linked on other web sites do not work.
- In Safari I get a blank window - no text at all.
- In Firefox I get text but no videos at all - but the page never fully loads.
- Parental controls are off.
- I connect to the internet without proxies - ie. there are no proxy settings.
- I have installed the latested versions of Flash and Shockwave.
I have seen a lot of messages regarding this problem. Does anyone know about the cause ? Some people have noted the problem started with the beta version of Safari v4. If so, why would that stop Firefox from working ?
It's not a big deal but this is really bugging me. Why would all web acess be lost ?
Thanks
Garry

Great news Garry, thanks!
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
Problems are that many Modems/Routers don't communicate the DNS Servers with macs all that well because they've made mistakes in their Firmware & by golly by gee, they tell MS about the workaround!
Then, many... even major ISPs have DNS problems and may have not even patched them against DNS poisoning!
Those numbers are in the US, and there may or may not be faster ones in your area, but I doubt there'll be and better more reliable ones!

Can't access some web sites with version 4.0

I recently installed version 4.0 and am in test phase of the server.
With or without ACL's turned on, I can't access the following web site
https://www.sunnet.sunlife.com/member/signin/index.asp?
or
https://www.sunnet.sunlife.com/member/
In Internet Explorer, it sits on a blank page with the little world logo spinning around until it finally times out after a few minutes. I've tried accessing these sites with both IE6 and IE 5.5 and get the same problem.
As a footnote, the web access to these sites works fine with our current Web Proxy version 3.6.
Does anyone have any ideas why this isn't working through the new Proxy 4.0?
Thanks

I did some additional testing through Proxy 4. All web sites and web pages including secure sites that I tried accessing over the past couple of days all appear to work fine with the exception of the forementioned sites. Access to these specific web pages (which I cannot currently access) are part of our day-to-day business requirements, and therefore will prevent me from using Proxy version 4.0 as our production proxy unless I can figure out why these web pages won't load, and how to fix the problem.
As an experiment, I tried to access these web pages through Proxy 4 with Mozilla FireFox and Netscape 7. None of these web browsers (including Internet Explorer) will bring up these web pages when going through Proxy 4. But bypassing the proxy or going through our v3.6 proxy works fine for these web pages everytime, and with all browsers. This leads me to believe that this web page access problem is not a browser specific problem, but something in Proxy 4 isn't processing the request to display the page properly.
As a reference, the web site in question is http://www.sunlife.ca. On the left hand side of the page go to "Sign In" then "Plan Members". Thats where the request hangs through Proxy 4 no matter which browser I use, including Netscape... but works perfectly fine with Proxy v3.6.
Can someone who is running a version 4 Proxy also please try to access the SunLife Members login page and see if it works or fails for you?
Thanks

Can not access Server admin site

I can not access http://MYSERVER1:50000 site. I get error "The page cannot be displayed. The page you are looking for is currently unavailable.".
But I was able to access even yesterday. Could you tell me any possible problems and how to fix the error?
Thanks!
Mike

Hi Mike
That means your J2EE engine is not running...
Restart the engine, also check that the DB is up and running.
