After updating, Firefox won't connect to the internet. All websites timeout. Internet explorer works fine.

I started up my computer and opened up firefox. A box popped up that said firefox was updating. After updating was complete, firefox attempted to connect to my homepage, yahoo, but the connection timed out. I tried connecting to other websites and they also timed out. My internet connection is good because internet explorer works fine.

Common cause after upgrading/updating is that your security software (firewall) may not recognize the new version and may be blocking Firefox and/or plugin-container. Remove all permissions for Firefox and plugin-container from your firewall's programs permissions list, then start Firefox and go to any website and let it detect and set internet access permissions.

Since I downloaded Firefox 4, I can't see attachments in my Yahoo mail. This is not a problem of Yahoo, because with Internet Explorer works fine. What is the problem?

I can't access the internet with Firefox on my computer (Windows 7 PC). I have used Firefox as my browser for 1 year but 5 days ago it stopped working even though Internet Explorer worked fine. I can't solve the problem and need some help.Randy Brown

September 26, 2011
Dear Mozilla,
I am having some difficulty accessing the internet with Firefox on one of my PC computers. I normally use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser and google is my homepage and gmail is my email system. The operating system is Windows 7. For over a year this system worked perfectly but a few days ago it stopped working. When I launch Firefox now I get the message that that website (www.google.com) is unavailable. In fact, I can’t access any website and I am blocked from the internet entirely within Firefox. My internet connection is fine because Internet Explorer works fine. I can access google and any other website within that web browser. I have investigated all the security issue I can manage and found no smoking gun. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Is Windows 7 compromising the effectiveness of Firefox? Any suggestions or other assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Randy Brown

You only have to clone your mac when using certain cable modem. You don't clone your mac when using dsl.
Greetings from Northern Ontario, Canada

NONE of the web pages load properly. If I hit "Ctrl + F5" it will fix THAT PAGE ONLY. I have to do this to EVERY SINGLE page I try to load. This ONLY happens with FIREFOX. Internet Explorer works fine. PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

FireFox 3.6.13 Locks up Microsoft XPS Document Writer, PDF995 (created Acrobat pdf file output) stops printing mid document, and Internet Explorer works fine

Microsoft XPS Document Writer locks up and PDF995.com (creates acrabat pdf file) stops printing after the second page from this site http://super.nova.org/DPR/CinematicApproach/. This was a Windows 7, 64 bit machine that had the issue. Microsoft Internet explorer works fine and printed the document with Internet Explorer.
The machine that displayed FireFox printing issues was a up to date Win 7, 64 bit, Quad Core, 8 Gig Ram. Don't really have a question just reporting a FireFox Bug.

Hi,
do you have a solution for the problem? We have actually a similar problem with locked IE8 when using a zoom factor > 100% (it's a customer WD4A).

Steffen Brauner

New version of yahoo mail - completely blank contact page (no tabs,columns, or contacts) but on internet explorer works fine

I just got the newest version of Yahoo Mail and on Internet Explorer everything works fine. On Firefox, the contact page is completely blank ( no tabs, columns, or contact information)

Yahoo have acknowledged my emails and have now resolved this problem. It was obviously at their end and only started with their new mail client.

Firefox does not fully load. blue letters are visible for links. Internet explorer works fine. I downloaded the latest version of firefox

I cannot open firefox. it starts to load, but never complets.
When I open Belarc it uses firefox and works fine. When I go to my mail I get the error message I posted in troubleshootong

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.

Unistalled reinstalled and can not open gmail internet explorer works fine. Have had issues ever since beta new improved system work it out firefox or I am done !

Ever since the beta systems, computer windows 7 is having issues online. Soon to delete completely and go back to internet explorer. Whats up?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holidng the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

I can't reply, forward or compose e-mail using my yahoo e-mail. Internet Explorer works fine

My yahoo e-mail was fine before Office Depot did a tune up and added McAfree virus protector on computer. Now I am not able to do anything on my e-mails except look at them.

Thanks for replying; it occurs with all addresses "forwarded to", "replied to", or "sent to", not the same addresses.
I forgot to mention in my post that when I use the "Mail" program in my .mac account or .me account, I have no problem sending, forwarding or replying to emails. It is only the "Mail Application" that is a part of Panther or on my G4, Leopard, that gives me a problem. I'm tempted to trash the "Mail App" and just use .mac's mail feature, although I have had several prior years good experience with the
"Mail Application". Could this be a problem with my internet provider, AT&T? Am I using their server or the .mac server?

Firefox won't work, every website has an error like the internet isn't connected but internet explorer works fine, how do I fix it?

This is the message I get for EVERY website I have tried: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at support.mozilla.com. I have checked the firewall and didn't notice any problems but I might not know what to look for. I have uninstalled and re-installed the program and still have the problem, I have also tried on different wireless internet signals and restarting my computer. I am using windows 7.

No problems here with that visited counter on your website.
Which extensions did you install?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I have to reverify my computer on ONE banking website....no others. WHY? Internet Explorer works fine.

Exchange Bank is where I do online banking in Sonoma County CA. When I log in using Firefox, I need to re-verify my computer as if I never logged in before. They then send me a text with a login # and I log in. Pain in the butt! When I log in with IE I have no problem. My settings are all correct. It's something having to do with Firefox and I need help figuring it out. It sucks that there is no phone # to call or open a chat session. What's that all about?
Please contact me and help me out.
Thanks, Liz Corell

Some Banking website are created according to IE, so the issue may be like that also.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Firefox was working fine earlier today and now when I try opening it, I get this message: Firefox does not know how to connect to server" and no pages will load. Internet Explorer works fine.

I have changed nothing on my computer, and it was opening and functioning fine this morning. However, everytime I try to open it, I get a message box saying "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features." And when the page actually opens, it says "Unexpected response from server
Firefox doesn't know how to communicate with the server.
Check to make sure your system has the Personal Security Manager
installed.
This might be due to a non-standard configuration on the server."
Nothing will load and I don't know what's wrong!

Did Firefox update to 4.0.1?
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.
See:
* [[Server not found]]
* [[Firewalls]]

Firefox starts, but it does not allow me to type anything in the search bar or the web address bar. I have uninstalled and re-installed it already. Internet Explorer works fine. What can I do to fix this?

It was working last night. However, in the middle of me talking to a family member in the messenger box of facebook. It just wouldnt allow me to type anything anymore. I closed it and re-opened it, but it didnt allow me to restore my sessions. I tried it again today, and it worked for a few seconds, albeit very slowly. Now, it just wont work. It opens to the Firefox homepage, but it wont do anything else.

I let Firefox sit on my desktop for about five minutes, and it finall allowed me to use it. That is EXTREEEMELY slow. What is the problem?

Cant post or comment on yahoo website. internet explorer works fine
