Cannot load individual websites; Googling is fine, but URL comes up with a 404 error.

Since I updated Firefox, it seems my internet connectivity in that browser has dropped. I can Google things (not in the URL box, but in the Google box) perfectly, with the exception that sometimes the link clicked from Google doesn't load. However, I cannot actually visit an individual site by entering the URL. If I directly enter the URL, it comes up with a 404 error, site not found. If I try to navigate to some pages from a Google, it comes up with a connectivity problem page. I would really like to be able to use my Firefox again. In the meantime, I'll have to use Google Chrome.

Try clearing Firefox's cookies and cache
Do these steps and then reload the website you're having trouble with.
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] , choose History and select Clear Recent History....
* In the Time Range to clear: drop-down, select Everything.
* Click the arrow next to Details to display the list of items that can be cleared.
* Select both Cookies and Cache.
* Click Clear Now.
Moreover, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions:[[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

Beginning recently, cannot load certain websites (Google)(interrupts while loading) (Google, etc.) from one identity, not other user, on Mac OS10.

I am getting interrupted while loading message when I try to load many websites, Google, etc
Apple OS, Google Mail, and Firefox all updated recently. Cannot open Firefox.com either
Am using other identity to contact you, and it works fine for all the sites

I am getting the sec_error_bad_der error when accessing a site. This was working fine but now comes up with this error. Chrome and IE work Fine but Firefox show

I using IBM Flex hardware and firefox is the recommended browser. I cannot access one of the IO modules in the chassis I get the error sec_error_bad_der and problem loading page. Other IO modules are fine and it works in IE and Chrome I have uninstalled and reinstalled the browser. Please can you assist.

I had to look that one up: [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/flexsys/information/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.acc.8721.doc%2Fio_modules.html]
That error normally refers to an ssl cert error. Does the cert for that particular node use ssl3? [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/flexsys/information/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.acc.8731.doc%2Ftroubleshooting_mobile_system_management_app.html] or is it different from the others?
Manage the stored cert from the Pafe Info (right click) Security > View Certificate.

'Could not join "wireless name". A connection timeout occured.' This happened randomly and my other computer works fine and the router is fine but it comes up with this message.

Tried to restore my ipod 4 but keeps comming up with a 9 error

tried to restore my ipod 4 but keep getting #9 error what do i do?

Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

TS1424 Hi guys I'm playing kings of Camelot and I'm trying to purchase gems in the game but every time I try it come up with connect iTunes error how do I fix it I have purchases 2 $30 iTunes cards but I carnt use them it's getting very annoying thanks

Hi guys I'm playing kings of Camelot and I'm trying to purchase gems inside the game but it comes up with connect iTunes error could you please help to fix this problem it's getting very annoying cause I just went out and brought a $60 iTunes card

Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to 'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
Thanks for the info.

Firefox cannot load all websites in e10s window. But Firefox can load all websites in e10s window.

It shows mostly, Tab crashed Well, this is embarrassing.
Well, this is embarrassing. We tried to display this Web page, but it's not responding.
Tell Mozilla about this crash so they can fix it.
Or sometimes for the last tab it shows :
Websites show a spinning wheel and never finish loading
Of course other browsers works 'perfectly' onto loading sites.
What can I do. Is this an e10s bug, that I could help to qualify and how?
Also looking for a workaroud. I want to restore my tabs onto a non-e10s window, but really don't figure how to do that. Means, after relaunching FF-nightly, restore my windows and tabs.
He still give me this message :
Nightly is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. blah blah...
I want to disable e10s as of for now, until he will maybe work again.

If you would like to disable e10s please follow these steps:

Don't worry e10s is getting better every day. It's just a matter of time and hard work.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.org/kb/Safe+Mode
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Firefox cannot load certain websites and I've tried all suggested options to fix the problem.

I cannot load certain websites (my bank, some public/civic offices, etc.) on Firefox or Internet Explorer (I usually use Firefox) and have tried all the suggested options in Firefox Help to remedy this problem: clearing cache and cookies, making sure no proxy is selected, allowing cookies). How do I fix this? I use a broadband internet connection that is shared.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

I cannot post in the google adsense forum but I can using IE

I cannot post in the google adsense forum but I can using IE, I was told to check my firefox settings.

I assume that you you tried tapping and holding down on the document and the keyboard would not pop up and the insertion point did not appear.
If you want to start with a clean slate, tap the Documents button in the upper left corner. When in thumbnail view you can tap the edit button in the upper right - find that blank document that you just closed - tap on it and then tap the trash can in the upper left to delete it.
To start with a new document - tap the + button in the upper left corner and tap Create New Document.

Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.

If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error does not occur.

As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.
