In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]<br />
<br />
You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy<br />

  • Can not open any web page in Safari

    can not open any web page in Safari on the IPad.  All other wireless features work fine.

    If this does not work then try a reset ,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Haveing problems with Safari. It gives me an error message. Safari can't open the web page, because it can't establish a secure connection to the server. It only seams to have a problem on https sites. Any help would be apreciated.

    Safari keeps giving  and error message. " Safari can't open the web page( insert web page here) , because it can't establish a secure connetion to the server.
    It only seams to have a problem with https sites.
    Any help would be appreciated

    The "s" in "https" indicates the site is a secure server--usually a site that will require a password.  Connections to secure servers can be blocked by parental controls.  Are you using any parental controls, either through OSX's settings (in System Preferences) or third party parental control software (such as Netnanny)?  If so, check the settings to make sure they will allow the connection.

  • Just updated to 8 & now I can't open any web pages & firefox is still running in the background after browser was closed. I uninstalled and reinstalled as well as disabled add-ons and plugins nothing has changed, can I downgrade back to on older version?

    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.

  • BTFON connects but I can't open any web pages

    I'm away from the address where my home hub is so I've been trying to use BTFON. I can connect fine but I can't open the landing page or any other web pages due to DNS errors.
    I've checked that my DNS settings are set to automatic and it seem to be picking up the correct servers (192.168.22.22 and 192.168.22.23). I also get an IP address starting with 10. I've tried clearing my browsing history and disabling my firewall/anti virus software but still haven't succeeded.
    Anyone got any experience of this sort of issue?

    did you read the stickies at the top of the board which may help  http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-Out-About/BT-Wi-Fi-issues/td-p/697978

  • Can't open some web pages... DOES ANYONE HAVE A FIX THAT WORKS?

    I'm unable to open certain web pages. The pages will start to open and than the application will just stall. This seems to have coincided with downloading a security update a while back. I've tried downloading firefox and it too will not open these specific pages. I've searched the forum and as of now I can't find a solution. From what I've hear, Apple isn't even acknowledging that there is an issue. I've repaired permissions, deleted Safari plist files, all with no improvement. I know for a fact that it is not my internet connection, as my powerbook can navigate to these sites without any issues, however my powermac seems to have "forgotten" how to open some web pages.
    Any fixes would be enourmously appreciated!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I don't think that reporting the pages to apple would do much good as it's not the pages themselves that are the issue, it's something on my system that prevents them from opening up properly. My laptop will open the pages without any issue, however my desktop isn't able to for god knows what reason. I know others on this board have had similar problems.

  • My MBP can't open some web pages

    Hello.
    I have problem with opening some web pages. It doesn't matter on the browser. It happens as in Safari as in Chrome. All browsers are updated. My MPB is updated. Problem is not in router. My gf has the same MBP and she can open the pages which I can't.
    Thanks for any advice.
    Resume:
    Lion 10.7.1, the latest Chrome and Safari, other computers in my network works fine (win/mac), example of page which I can't open: www.adobe.com

    Thanks for the reply.

  • Can't open any web pages message comes up it times out

    we trying to open any web page say it has times out. Tried different users but all say the same

    Have you looked at what preferences Safari is using?
    Also, did you have an older version?
    Still won't work after restart?
    There is never a good reason to "drop your guard" and disable or have to configure a normally working firewall.
    Chrome - I didn't like where it installed itself in Vista, ~/AppData/Local is NOT a valid location, along with half a dozen other 'features' and behavior. Also, when I uninstalled, why does it need to go to a web page, other than to register my IP address - without asking, and without launching my default (Minefield) and launching IE7.
    So I would try uninstalling Chrome just to rule out incompatibility, and to warn you that it does things that may not be what you expect either.
    Safari for Windows doesn't seem to respect some things that affect if and when a web page is saved to local cache, and can only see a problem if you had Safari working earlier (a common thread, installing Safari over older version it seems).

  • WHEN I CLICK ON THE SAFARI ICON I CAN"T OPEN A WEB PAGE

    WHEN I CLICK ON THE SAFARI ICON I CAN"T OPEN A WEB PAGE

    Does your email work and do you have an alternative browser installed to test with? Also, do you have any anti-virus software installed? There have been a few reports on here where AV has interfered with internet connectivity.
    P.S. No need to type in caps as is considered to be shouting - I'm sure you wouldn't do that

  • I can't open a web page saved with "save page as" from the Firefox (3.6.16) file menu. What gives?

    The icons for the saved page appear in the folder selected (e.g., Desktop)--and the default "whole web page" was selected in the "save as" box--but either double-clicking or right-clicking and selecting "open" on either icon leads to zippo. What am I doing wrong?

    Do you have any custom DNS settings on the devices that cannot connect?
    What happens If you connect to a different Wifi network outside of your home with any of the devices that can't open the website in your home, can you view the website?
    If you Ping the website from home what IP address does it attempt to ping?

  • Can not open my web page?

    Installed my new 2T unit 5 days ago, it was fine till this afternoon. I can not open web page or connect to internet. (wired or wirelessly)
    No issue with my cable modem as i tested by pluging wire direct from the modem.
    "Green" light in front is OK, i have to unplug power and plug power back in after 10 sec to restore the unit to function again.
    I read about the new time capsule will loss connections over time, wonder if anyone has experienced this problem in the past?

  • Can't open MOST web pages!  What the...?

    Well if this isn't the strangest thing I have ever seen...
    For the past 3 or 4 days my two Macs (Dual 2 Ghz G5 and G4 Mac mini) have only been able to "partially" connect to the internet. What this means is that I can't get mail from my .Mac accounts with Mail.app and MOST web pages will not load, but some will! I can, for example, load digg.com or apple.com, but if I click on the support link on apple.com it will sit there forever and never finish loading. The status bar says "completed 1 of 2 items". This applies to almost every other web page that I can think to try. I've tried Safari 2.0, IE 5.0 and Firefox 1.5 and all get the same results.
    On the other hand my Xbox 360 is able to connect to Xbox live just fine and seems to have no problems downloading video or demos. I brought my Windows XP laptop home from work and that seems to work fine for the most part. I have noticed that embedded video and interactive maps don't seem to load on my PC now even though they used to.
    I've tried everything I can think of at this point. I've disconnected my router and connected directly to my cable modem with no success. Swapped all of my cables with no results. I've tried entering server IP addresses in case it was a DNS problem, no help. I called my ISP and after they tried to get me to fix Internet Explorer (Ha!) and told me that I must have a virus (sure...), they concluded that it must be my problem because they could see my modem just fine.
    I'd assume that this was just a problem with my Mac and that some settings got screwed up, but for the fact that this started affecting both at the same time. That makes me think it must be a network problem that my ISP should fix, but then why would the PC and Xbox work?
    So, does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Are there any other tests I could try to pinpoint the source of this enigma? Any suggestions would be most welcome.
    G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    Again, thanks to all for the suggestions so far. Unfortunately, I have not been able to resolve the issue yet.
    Baltwo, I've been running Activity Monitor and Network Utility and can see that there is network activity when I try to connect to different sites. Beyond that, I'm not sure what I should be looking for.
    BDAqua, I tried both IP addresses on the Mac and PC with no success. If I do a traceroute of one of them on my G5, I get through about 11 steps before it gets stuck and can't make any more progress. I appreciate the modem tip, I seem to have an RCA model # DCM245R. I guess my next step will be to try replacing that.
    Boece, I tried clearing my browser cache and history with no luck. However, I was able to go to your recommended web site and download Yasu without any problems! It looks like a nice little app, so I ran it with all of the default settings and restarted, but it did not seem to fix the problem. I have power cycled the router and modem several times with no improvement.
    Gnarlodious, I flushed the DNS cache as you suggested, but the issue persists.
    I guess beyond trying to replace the cable modem, I'll do a fresh install of OS X on an external drive this weekend and see if I can boot from that and connect any better.
    Any other ideas on what might be going on and how I could fix it would be most appreciated.

  • IP / DNS ?  Can't Open Some web pages

    Hope I'm in the right Forum here. Not 100% sure so apologies if I got it wrong. I am suddenly experiencing errors as below.... I get the same error on several web pages but to keep it simple I will just use www.hotmail.com as the example.
    In Safari I get
    Safari can’t open the page.
    Safari can’t open the page “https://login.live.com/login.srf?id=2&svc=mail&cbid=24325&msppjph=1&tw=0&fs=1&fs a=1&fsat=1296000&_lang=EN&lc=1033”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
    In Firefox I get
    The connection was reset
    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
    A few days ago there was some interruption to my broadband service. I had syncronisation with my modem and the exchange (two solid green lights) but no web access on any of my computers. It's possible that the errors above started at the same time but I'm not 100% sure.
    I have researched and read stuff about DNS and resetting IP addresses but don't really understand this.
    Importantly, I have a PC in my house on the same router which can access these sites fine using IE. Also, if I connect my Mac with my neighbours wireless network it all works fine. So - it's something with my ISP right?
    Any ideas on how I can look into this before having to speak to someone who doesn't really know what they're talking about (especially re Mac's) on a £2 per second helpline.
    Thank you

    Chris. I found this post
    http://forums.osxfaq.com/viewtopic.php?t=11628&highlight=firefoxsafari+openhotmail
    Read the very bottom of it regarding MTU. I really don't understand these things but I did have an afternoon of downtime with TalkTalk last week and I have also just changed my service with them from normal broadband to the free broadband. Have you also dont this?
    My logic says that if my two Windows machines work fine then it must be software related on the Mac. Or perhaps something to do wtih how it deals with cookies as the sites I can't access are those which would use cookies.
    Any other thoughts? Maybe we should communicate directly regarding this - I don't know.
