Can't get Firefox to connect to internet at all, but I can connect via IE. This is a recent development, night before last. I am on a Dell using WXP, use a broadband connection.

I was told by my cable company (RCN) that the copy of Firefox I have would need to be removed (I have v. 4.0.) They gave me a microsoft # to call, in order to deal with removing the copy. MS could not help, gave me a # for Firefox, but it was incorrect. I cannot find a tech support # on this help site. Please help me via e-mail or give me a # to call.

Thanks for sharing that info, this will be really useful if others would ever run into the same issue.

  • Can't get wifi on iPad upstairs but can on Mac book. This is a recent development.

    Why can't I get wifi on iPad upstairs but can on Mac book? This is a recent development.

    The Mac book may have a stronger wifi signal receiver.  That happens to me in certain places in my house.

    Which version of Mac OS are you using?  Have you ever been able to download and install any of the applications?  What type of Internet connection are you using?  Finally what version of the Adobe Application Manager do you have installed?  You can locate it in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers/Adobe Application Manager/core.

  • I have a MAC running 10.6. I cant get firefox to connect to the internet unless I first open Safari and connect. Firefox works fine after that. This is a new problem on my machine How do I correct for this?

    When I boot my Mac (Snowleapord 10.6) and attempt to start Firefox, the system alerts me that it cannot find the internet and requests that I try again. It is not until I start Safari, establish a connection that I can get firefox to work. This is a new problem. Until recently, things worked fine. How do I resolve this issue?

    Same proble here, although the Firefox system requirements says it is OK to have PowerPC G3 G4 or G5 ( I have G5 2GHZ)
    My solution; very simply use timemachine to restore the previous Frefox 3.x
    worked great in 3 mns

  • How do I get firefox to load in internet explorer instead of internet explorer 64

    firefox is in internet explorer 64 but I want it in internet explorer

    Right click the FireFox button in your toolbar and look in the properties- middle tab...make sure that it only has "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with no other link added to the end. I had a similar problem this morning and found a website had attached it's link to the end so it would always pop up first and would only open a new tab.
    Hope that fixed it.

  • I just purchased an ipad with wifi do i need to buy something else in order to get wifi? i have internet at home but no wifi connection

    I just purchased an Ipad mini with wifi. Do i need an additional piece of equipment to make this work? we have Internet but it is through cable.

    Yes. You need a router for WiFi now. There are many, many routers on the market. You need to run the cable into the router to set up a WiFi network. I have no idea where you live, but in the U.S., stores like Best Buy and Radio Shack can help you with this.
    https://www.google.com/search?q=wireless%20routers
    Apple has one called AirPort Express that is portable if you travel and have a need for a router on the road.
    http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/
    They also offer an AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule which would probably be overkill for you but you can check them out here.

  • When I turn on my iPod Touch 5th generation, half of the screen has vertical white lines and it is irresponsive to the touch... is there anyway this can be fixed because this is my third time in the last 4 months I have had problems with Apple.

    The screen looks completely normal besides the vertical white lines on the right hand side of the screen, as the "slide to unlock" is lighting up and the time and date are changing, but the screen is unresponsive. After several problems with Apple in the last few months (and two defective iPods including this one and one iPhone), I really don't want to go through the whole process of bringing it in or getting a new one entirely. It would greatly help if someone knows a solution, even if that would require completely resetting the iPod to factory settings, as I have had is synced to iTunes before. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help. Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Seems like a bad digitizer or connection or logic board.

  • How can I get Firefox to connect to websites that are not Google sites?

    This evening Firefox would not connect to my homepage (BBC) or anything in my bookmarks I tried. However, It would connect to anything Google (eg maps, mail etc), and run searches, but would not connect to any sites listed as the results of these searches.
    I contacted my internet supplier, who ran various tests, including emptying history, cache/cookies and resetting to default values of Firefox. But nothing solved my problem. It was fine this morning and showed no problems of this type before. I have the latest version of Firefox. My machine is Windows XP, I have the latest IE that can still be loaded - that won't even connect to Google to search, (but perhaps it is unable to because it is too old?)
    A couple of months back I had the computer cleaned/tuned, they replaced mcafee with Avast, but I had no problems accessing different websites. I still only run the free version of this. I cannot work out how to access its firewall settings.
    So the problem seems to be that the only sites I can access at all Google sites via Firefox...and Mozilla. I know Google is kind of ubiquitous but how I can't imagine how settings could suddenly become altered to be so specific!

    Strange problem.
    Did you try to start your computer in "safe mode", to see if the problem is still there ?
    Who replaced your antivirus and cleaned your computer ? Can they help you ?
    For the moment, I see 3 hypothesis :
    - a problem of DNS : do you know what it is and where to check them ?
    - a problem of Firewall : do you know how to manage the settings of your's one ?
    - a problem of security : do you know how to check if there are malwares installed on your computer ? You should do this before any other solutions anyway.
    If it doesnt' work, try to install Google Chrome, to see if this browser can go on other websites. If yes, it is time to uninstall/reinstall Firefox.

  • Can't get firefox to connect / IE (yuk) can: no proxy setting

    family community pc...firefox was working fine and preferred browser by 3 of 5 home pc users...stopped being able to connect to web w/mozilla...
    Troubleshooting steps:
    1. Removed mozilla from programs
    2. Searched and deleted all mozilla folders (found an iphones mozilla plugins folder - deleted)
    3. Re-downloaded/installed 4.0
    4. Set "No Proxy"
    5. still can't connect
    6. ran malware (House Call) - nothing found
    7. repeated above - still can't connect
    does not make any sense

    Let's try this. You said you are trying to start Firefox 8 on the problem machine? Can you try downloading Firefox 11 from [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], install that, restart your computer, then see if it still acts up?
    If it does, try running Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]].

  • Despite trying troubleshooting tips I just cannot get Firefox to connect to Facebook or YouTube at peak times ! The connection times out every time. please help as I am a novice at this.

    For about the last 3 weeks - since I think I updated Firefox, my laptop just will not connect to Facebook or YouTube. A couple of friends who know more about computers than me have tried to clear caches and cookies, and have tried the other trouble shooting tips, but to no avail. My son cannot connect on his I-Pod, and a friend cannot on his mobile either. Yet there does not appear to be a problem with my broadband connection, and it does sometimes connect in the very early morning, albeit slowly. I have 2 very disgruntled children who cannot talk to their friends and I cannot keep in touch with family etc.

    Hi judy. I feel your frustration and anger. I had placed an order with B&N and got billed twice. I called them and i let the rep know i had just checked my acct and saw i've been billed twice. The rep checked and sure enough their records showed i was billed twice.
    Then the rep apologized, which is always cool for a corp to do, and i was told that the money would be credited back to my card within 3 to 5 business days. And sure enough that's what happened.

  • How can I get firefox to ask for password on all log-in sites?

    Firefox has stopped asking to save my log-in passwords on "certain" websites. I checked my tools options, there's a check mark in the remember password box, and there's nothing in the "exception" or "allow or block" options. Can you help, please? Thank you.

  • How do I get Firefox to connect to HTML links?

    When I receive e-mail with an HTML link, and I click on the link, it attempts to download that page with Microsoft Internet Explorer. I hate MS Internet Explorer. When I am on a web page with Firefox, and there is a link, I click on it and it downloads the site with Firefox just fine.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a month, or so, ago.

    I forgot to add that the MS Internet Explorer thing happens when I am using Mozilla Thunderbird.
    Thanks,

  • Why can't you just fix firefox so it doesn't have all these pop up msgs like a script has stopped or my mouse just freezes up and geesh, I started using google

    So many times i get this in the title bar "not responding", avg pops up and say's there is a of memory being used like 270mb by facebook, i use pop up blockers, do not track me add ons anything to speed page loading, I repeatedly get different script msg pop ups, it's angering me so much just trying to surf facebook! If i click on a link, to go off of facecbook to read an article it takes for ever for all the crap to load banner adds or what have you that I don't know what to do, then I goto your help section and its like geesh I have to be a IT dude to figure all this out. I gave up IE many years ago because of security reasons, came to firefox and loved it, but anymore its a battle. Can someone there make a easy way to fix all this crap? Thank You

    Click the Firefox button on the top left and click Add-ons. ...
    Search for an ad-blocking add-on, such as Adblock Plus. It does a great job of removing the annoyances from your Web browsing, and it comes with absolutely no configuration needed to begin working.

  • How do I set or get firefox to print more than one all pages the print using verizon emails is there a setting to change I have been told by verizon techs it is not my printer

    when opening an email using verizon emails I can only print one page. I have checked an I do not have a printer or computer problem because the printer prints more than one page with others such as gmail. We feel there is a print setting in firefox that needs to be changed. How do I change this??

    That is usually caused by a few different Bugs in Firefox, which seem to be fixed in the Firefox 4.0 betas.
