Everything in firefox is blocked "unable to connect" -how to correct

when trying to access any site via firefox, the error "unable to connect" displays. Unable to access anywebsite. Running Windows 7 Professional, Using McAfee as secutiry shield.

I guess no one has fixed or figured out how to run firefox with Mcafees. As I have recieved 0 info on this problem. Just unloaded and tried to reload firefox. Explorer will not allow firefox download page to open. If I turn off the firewall it will but then I will have to do that everytime I use firefox. no protection. Why can Microsoft and Mcaffees do this. It sucks. Cmon already Mozilla. Are you folks gonna alow this?

    Firefox works fine on Windows 2000 SP4 for me.
    Any chance you have a dial-up connection that uses a web accelerator to speed the loading of content?

  • Firefox will not load any website, it says unable to connect, how can I fix this?

    Every url I type in it comes up with unable to connect and firefox cant establish a connection! its like it's not even got a connection but i can get on the internet at the same time with internet explorer! I have tried disabling the IPv6 and Prefetch and still unable to connect! i have changed the proxy to no proxy and still unable to connect.

    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.

  • When open Firefox 8, says 'Unable to connect' and no websites work. Internet connection is fine. Please help :(

    My Firefox automatically updated to Firefox 8. Since doing so, when I open the browser the screen displays a box saying 'Unable to connect' and says the same for any website. My internet connection is fine. I uninstalled and installed Firefox again, but problem persists. Please help as this is really frustrating me :(

    Did you try this?

  • Firefox opens with "Unable to Connect. Uncheck 'Work Offline ' in the File Menu and click 'Try Again', but 'Work Offline' is not checked.

    I have Firefox 3.6.13 on Mac OS 10.4.11 with MyEbay set as my Home page but FireFox always gives the above message and invites me to 'Try Again'. When I click on 'Try Again' it takes me to the eBay sign in widow like it is supposed to. Firefox works properly for a few times after each update but eventually goes back to the "Unable to Connect" message. How can I fix Firefox to go to my Homepage?

    Yes, I am using Firefox 3.6.16--but I also occasionaly use Mail and have Microsoft Enterouge, loaded also.
    But I always open with Firefox.

  • Firefox 33.0 unable to connect to Internet

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1025617 /questions/1025617]''
    I've just installed the FF33.0 update and I am unable to browse the Internet.
    I am having to use another browser on the same laptop in order to access this site.
    I have Windows 8.1 installed on an i7 Laptop. I connect via WiFi through my Broadband router. The connection is fine (checked & double checked). I can't even access the GUI of my router through FF33.0 .
    I have accessed the Firefox site and downloaded FF33.0 from there. Went through the process (upgrade was selected) and the same problem occurred.

    hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

  • Firefox 38.0 Unable to connect to verizon sites including email

    Over the past 2 days I have been unable to access any verizon sites (especially my web email) using Firefox 38.0.5.  Firefox appears to be trying to connect but the status shows it bouncing between "Fios Trending" and the sign in page.  No problem with chrome or IE.  I've tried refreshing Firefox, but the problem persists.  Not sure if this is a verizon problem or a Mozilla problem. Anyone else experiencing this?

And have you tried a second browser? Yes.  I've cleared history, cache, cookies, etc.  I've tried "Refreshing" Firefox, and even started in safe mode (firefox) to disable addins, but the problem persists.  Posted similar message on the Mozilla forums page, but no response yet.   I don't experience the problem in Chrome or in Internet Explorer, but really don't like those browsers.

    You can install the beta version alongside of the current release with its own profile.Then you can check out if this helps to avoid the crashes and can still go back the the release version at any time by clicking its desktop shortcut.
    You can install multiple Firefox versions via a custom install in different installation folders and keep the current release version installed to be able to fallback to the release version in cases when the beta build isn't working properly.
    Make sure not to start Firefox after the installation has finished and use the Profile Manager to create a new (separate) profile for each version.

  • Firefox is suddenly "Unable to connect," although I've changed nothing since it was working earlier today and I've gone through the troubleshooting steps.

    I occasionally get the "Well, this is embarrassing" message, but Firefox reloads in a click. IE is working on this computer. I tried safe mode.

    so ok, those essay edit maybe the right thing and the hard part in the competition as well

  • MY computer sayd that it is connected to the internet in the upper right hand corner, but when I try to open safari, it says that it is unable to connect. how can i fix that?

    I just got this computer today, everything works fine but I cannot connect to the internet. The Wi-Fi thing in the top right corner tells me that im connected, but when I try to open Safari, it says that I am not able to connect to the internet. I have done everything the computer has told me, and i still can't connect. I need help please!!

    The problem lies between your router and the ISP.
    Pull the modem or router/modem power plug, wait about 30 seconds and plug it back in to establish a new connection to the ISP.
    Try another website, another device and see if that works if not then call your ISP for assistance and/or reconfigure the router.
    If your router isn't secure and you had bad leechers the ISP might have suspended the access or perhaps met the monthly data cap rate.

  • Even though I have allowed popups from a certain site,when I try to open a dilaogue box a yellow line pops up that says firefox has blocked a popup. How can I change this??

    When I try to open the dialogue box on a website to see if there are any jobs available, firefix won't allow it
    "Firefox prevented this site from opening a pop up." is the message that pops up. I have gone into preferences to allow popups from this site. BUT it doesn't allow them.

    Turn off pop-up blocking, when the popup appears right-click within to find out what the actual site is.

  • Using Windows Life or Hotmail, when attaching a file it crashes. Using Firefox 9.01. Please advise how to correct.

    Recently when using Windows Live or Hotmail, when I try to attach a file it crashes. I am using Firefox 9.01. These are not big files. I need this feature for work. It happens about 90% of the time. If I close Firefox and start again, I can sometimes attach a file, and then the next time it will crash.
    Error says plugin-container.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Then another window opens and says - The Silverlight plugin crashed.
