Downloading FireFox, won't connect to internet upon download

All of a sudden FireFox stopped working. I uninstalled it to see if maybe there was a conflict somewhere, reinstalled it and am still getting the same message that it can't connect to the internet. Opera, Chrome, IE, Safari all work fine. Can't find a solution to this problem.

[[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20connect%20after%20upgrading%20Firefox?s=cannot+connect+after+upgrading+firefox&as=s]]
For me the problem was McAfee Security Center running on Windows 7. I reset McAfee and Firefox connected again.

Firefox won't connect to internet but IE will!!

I'm using latest edition of Firefox on windows 07 laptop. Two days ago my internet connection slowed significantly (i was only one) for few hours but then things got to normal. My computer updated (windows) last night and when tried to turn on firefox it won't connect or load website pages. First it said errror in my connection, now message says 'the connection has timed out'. I have done everything stated on firefox support (checked proxy - am on college network so it was on auto and I switched it to no proxy - no luck), I checked my firewall (managed by mcafee) and even though windows is not being used on my laptop I added firefox just in case - no luck. I did the other steps on the page - no luck. IE is working fine and at reasonable speed so it's not the connection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Edit: don't know if this may help but googlechrome won't work for me either - it opens, and tries to connect to page but never does. . .

Help! Safari / Firefox won't connect to internet on WiFi?!

I can't connect to internet using WiFi from Safari OR Firefox from my home WiFi (Apple WiFi router.)
Here are weird facts:
- They both work from this laptop at home using Ethernet
- They both worked at AppleStore WiFI today
- Internet at home is fine from other MacBook, iPad and 2 iPhones
AppleStore guy reset a lot of Safari and network settings, suggesting that would fix anything, but it still does not work from this laptop at home over WiFi?!
Any ideas?!
Thanks!
Mark

Thanks, Linc. FYI, I don't believe I've installed any new 3rd pary items for some time (although some of them may have updated to newer versions more recently?)
I've posted output from Terminal commands below. Let me know what you see in it!
FYI, I've been considering updating to Lion OS. Would that a) help me with this situation, and/or b) cause me other new problems?!
Thanks,
Mark

Mac Mini won't connect to internet using Apple products (Safari, iTunes, AppStore). Date and time are frozen to the moment CPU is booted up. Firefox works. Cannot update.

For the past few days my Mac Mini has been having issues.
Safari won't connect to internet, but Firefox does.
Time and date are frozen. Only resets when copmuter is re-booted.
Unable to update via App Store and iTunes won't connect either.
Please advise.

Hi again,
Let me ask for some better help for you that is familiar with this problem (if in fact it is a similar problem with the IP address and your ISP.
The other topic concerning this can be found at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2725608
It is a somewhat lengthy thread but may just apply to your situation.
Anyways I will see if I can call on some better help for you. Hang in there. Best to arm yourself with enough info before contacting Comcast so they might know what you are dealing with fully.
littleshouders
edit: I have posted for some extra help for you that may have a better idea of what's going on if it is your ISP and their modem and how it handles the IP address causing Safari and iTunes not to connect. Hang in there it may take awhile but I'm sure someone will pop in to help.

Safari won't connect to internet; Firefox will ???

Safari won't connect to internet; Firefox will???
Wierdest thing. For some reason Safari won't browse or connect to the internet anymore. When I open Safari the default address is in URL bar, but with highlighted (words only) in blue and it just sits there all day. I can't connect to any web site on the net.
However, if I open Firefox all is fine and my Mail is all fine also.
I've repaired permissions a few times and even trashed the preferences for Safari, restarted computer etc, but it still refuses to actually display anything. I get a blank white page, then after about 2 minutes it simply says "Safari can't open the page. Because the server stopped responding".
As I said, no problem with Firefox.
Any ideas.

I thank you for getting me into the right ball-park otherwise I would not have spotted it.
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
Please consider marking this post "helpful" next to my name ((you'll need to log-on to the forum).
Aloha from Big Island.

How to enable a disabled iPod that won't connect to internet

trying to enable my disabled 5th generation iPod touch. I have tried connecting to iTunes on the computer, which I couldn't get it to do anything. I then tried using the "Find my iPhone" website and erased the iPod. However, I got a message that says "This iPod will be erased when it connects to the internet". How do I connect a disabled/locked iPod to the internet/wifi while it is waiting to be erased because it won't connect to internet/wifi?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

See if this helps you - [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]]

Firefox no longer connects to internet on my mac, and windows machines, after v18. I've tried several solutions from Mozilla support and nothing works. Firefox can't even connect to Mozilla for updates. Firefox just sits on the default search page and attempts to connect to websites by typing URLs, or by clicking on the links on the default search page don't work.

You could try the following:
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.
Let us know if this fixed your problem!

Firefox will not connect to internet after upgrade. The window pops up but shows "connecting " in tab. And then it sit there. Close it down and then try to reopen it and get message " Firefox already running, Exit program or shut down computer" ???

1st problem see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
2nd problem, to close Firefox properly use File > Exit
:not with the [x] in upper right corner which close window
:see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit
:if restarting use "Restartless Restart" extension as mentioned there.

Won't connect to Internet explorer....just got this computer a week ago brand new

I just got this computer brand new a week ago. It started trying to watch vid on the net and it workstation show the picture. Then 2 days later it won't connect to Internet explorer at all. I'm so frustrated I mean how is this possible to have problems already. If I can't fix this tomorrow I'm taking it back. Please help thank you

Before you go there call your provider first and have them check the provisioning on the phone. They will ask if you did this when you go to the Genius Bar.

Brand new Apple TV won´t connect to Internet

I just bought an Apple TV 3rd generation today. Unfortunately I´m having some issues installing it.
The Apple TV does connect to my wifi network but won´t connect to Internet. I´m currently using Time Capsule as router and thought that all Apple gadgets would have no problems connecting to each other. Both my Macbook Air and iPhone can connect to Internet when using the same wifi. I´ve tried to restart and restore Apple TV a few times and have also restarted my router. Apple suggested that when troubleshooting, but it did not work. Anyone who knows how to solve this problem?

I´m not sure what just happened, but when I woke up this morning and started Apple TV it worked. Haven´t done any changes in settings...
Out of curiosity, if the same problem occurs again how would I solve the internet connection problem. Yesterday I just saw computers/settings on the main screen.

New iPhone 4s won't connect to internet

New iPhone 4s won't connect to internet beyond my home wi fi. How can I correct this? I need internet where I go.

I've got exactly the same problem.
Upgraded to iOS7 all was fine.
It then prompted me to upgrade to 7.0.2 and now my iPhone 4s won't connect to Internet anymore.
There was also a carrier settings update that I accepted which could have broken things.
I've tried different APN settings but it still won't connect for me :-(
Tried a Reset Network Setting, and the problem is the same.

IMac won't connect to Internet after trying to download mac so x

So I was trying to download Mac OS version 10.6.4 (the CD that came with my iMac) and about fifteen minutes in it stopped and restarted. Well I didn't think anything of it because I was late for work as it was. I tried to get on today and my iMac is super slow, it won't connect to the Internet, and IF it does it only stays connected for about 10 minutes. What's wrong? What can I do to fix it on my own, the closes store is two hours away and I really don't want to that?

As we say back home you really screwed the pooch. OK Put your install disk back in and restart the computer while holding down the C key. This will start you up from the disk so you can access Disk utility from the installer program. Click the first aid tab, select your drive and run repair disk.
