FF 3.6.4 redirects everything to Google or a 404 screen

On my Mac, FF3.6.4 redirects almost everything to some nonsense Google screen or puts up an Apache 404 (can't connect) screen. It will not even connect to my Earthlink start page, won't even go to Mozilla! I had to use Safari to ask this question!
== URL of affected sites ==
http://
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

I have the same exact problem and it just all the sudden started happening to all the computers in the house, it doesn't matter if I am using Firefox or IE I get the same error 404 code. And it doesn't matter if its google.com or yahoo.com or bing.com, I cannot use any search engines, however, I can browser the internet just fine. Usually the search engines work, however if I click on a link it takes me to a traffic-accidents.com website... What is going on? I have gone to proxy setting and have chosen each different type of setting I can, but still I have no idea what the problem is.
Obviously its a network issue, a proxy issue... However, I have no idea how to fix it. Someone please help. I use gmail and I cannot even log into my email account.
Please help

How do I get apps from Amazon...m S note locks me out of everything but google?

How do I get apps from Amazon...m S note locks me out of everything but google?

They'll also need to go into their Settings > Security and check the box for Unknown Sources. I'd highly suggest removing the check once the Amazon apps are installed.

After removing force https can I get Firefox to quit redirecting me from google classic to google SSL?

I was using Force https, and have since removed it. I am being redirected, however, to google SSL and cannot load the google classic page. I do not want to use SSL (https://encrypted.google.com). How do I get Firefox to direct me to the correct website as I enter it (www.google.com)? I have tried clearing my cache and cookies, as well as reading suggestions on google's forums. Help please? Thanks!

Sounds like you picked up some re-direct Malware.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy.

I'm about ready to migrate everything to google and gmail. Once again, the iCloud iMap server is rejecting my password and refusing to get my mail. This has happened dozens of times since iCloud went live. My password has NEVER been changed.

I'm about ready to migrate everything to google and gmail. Once again, the iCloud iMap server is rejecting my password and refusing to get my mail. This has happened dozens of times since iCloud went live. My password has NEVER been changed. The same password works flawlessly in iTunes store and Apple store. Somebody please give me a reason NOT to cut bait on iCloud.

iCloud Mail is down. Has been for a while. I would hope this will be resolved soon.
I agree with you. iCloud does not seem to have anywhere near a 99.9% uptime. :-)

i googled for answer to resolve the zoom problem. all the anwers just told you to read links but didn't tell how to fix the screem back to normal then it can be able to go to Setting to fix the zoom funciton. HOWEVER, I accidentally found the solution myself by using a fingers or more
to draw circles clockwise on the screen....it will reset it normally. I spent hours trying to go diagonally, compressively still didn't work.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Lion uses Recovery to reinstall OS X. Press Command and R keys when your Mac starts, open Disk Utility, erase the drive and reinstall Lion. The other Mac has probably got its hard disk damaged, so take the Mac to an Apple Store

I am trying to use Find My Friends and I have been through troubleshooting 3 times. Why won't my location work? Everything is on but the 2nd screen in Find My Friends is grayed out, whereas my other family members 2nd screens are active?

The firmware was likely changed and it's not compatible anymore or the disk is bad.
I was able to boot using the Snow Leopard disc from both my new MBP and my girlfriends MB, but both said that OS X could not be installed on this computer, and I couldn't even use the disc utility to wipe the drive.
Those disks don't have the hardware drivers your machine needs.
Your going to need to get a Snow Leopard retail install disk from Amazon/elsewhere.
Do I need to have a serial number to reinstall OS X?
Thankfully No.

Cannot send mail from apple mail or outlook- HELP- tried everything on Google- nothing works!

Getting really disheartened after the thrill of getting a brand new iMac!
I cannot get my email to work on Apple Mail or Outlook (which I pay for) at all!
I can get the messages but not send any- and I have honestly tried EVERYTHING to get it to work- all port changes etcetc
Someone has mentioned you can change a smtp relay number which may be set to 0 as a default with Mac!
I have been a PC for years so I am not sure what to do here and there is no tutorial that makes any sense on google.
Someone please help me before I burst into flames!
This is a work account and not being able to send emails doesnt help me.
Ps- the email still works on old pc laptop and my android phone.
Thanks

When using Panorama, everytime I create a New Group, I am redirected to the Google Calendar App that I created. Tab groups are not being remembered. Any workaround?

I am trying to use Panorama for the first time. I can successfully create a tab group, but Firefox does not remember it. When I view a new web page and try to use "add to group" I am redirected to the app tab I created for Google Calendar. I am using Windows 7 64x with Firefox as my default browser.
Are there any know issues with the apps tap and Panorama?

I have a somewhat related problem running FF7 on WinXP32, specifically concerning your ''I can successfully create a tab group, but Firefox does not remember it.''
When I reopen FF, I find FF
* ''sometimes'' does not remember all tab groups.
* ''often'' seems to move at least 1 tab from one group to another.
''kursiver Text''
I am new to using this tab grouping feature, and I have not identified a specific and consistent misbehavior yet.

Every time i click on a link on a google search, it redirects to the google homepage.

Whenever i google search and click on a provided link, either in the toolbar or on the actual google homepage, it redirects to the homepage. Google works fine on Explorer, so i know it's a firefox issue.

I believe this is a duplicate of an existing question, which has answers: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/749313

Firefox redirects all my Google searches, and Malwarebytes, Ad-Aware and SuperAntiSpyware cannot find the virus; I suspect is a Java issue

My computer has a virus that makes Google searches in Firefox be redirected to other sites - mostly search engines. I've used McAfee, Malwarebytes and others, and I cannot find the solution. I suspect that the virus is hiding itself as a program, using Java to deploy. Any help will be more than helpful!

Well your Flixxy.com stuff isn't related to it. What exactly you are looking for is here.
"firefox" > options > options
Under the General Tab, specify your home page in this case google.com.
If you are facing trouble with the home page being reset every time, then try starting firefox in safe mode.
firefox > Help > restart with add-on's disabled

Apex 4.1 - strange login redirect problem in Google Chrome?

Hi,
just wondering if anyone else is seeing this too...
Just upgraded to Apex 4.1 and latest Apex listener. Now whenever I navigate the Application Builder in Google Chrome (latest version 15.0.874.102 m), I keep getting redirected to the Apex login page. E.g. when running a page from the builder, then clicking the "Edit page" button at the bottom, I get redirected to the login page and have to log in to the builder again. It might also happen when trying to open the "Utilities | Page Events" in the Application Builder. Anywhere in the builder really, not just one or 2 specific functions. On the second go, I'm usually lucky and are able to open the desired page/function.
Switching to latest version of Firefox has so far fixed the problem.
Just kinda strange.... might be how the browsers handles session state...??!?
Regards,
-Haakon-

I have same problem in Chrome, IE7
When i Click "Edit Page" on Developer panel, when app is running, apex redirects me to the APEX login page! And there is no matter, app is public or not, page is public or not. Every run, when clicked developer panel button, it redirects me to the APEX login page.
Help please!!!

How do I reset Business Catalyst log-on after redirecting website to Google Sites?

I am trying to log into my Business Catalyst account after moving my website to google sites - the BC login tries to go to the new website instead of logging into a business Catalyst dashboard.
All I want to do is to make sure the Business Catalyst account is closed and files are deleted - but can't get to it.

Is the user logging out or is the internet disconnecting after 15 minutes?
If the user is logging out go to System Preferences > Security and there is an option to log-out after a specified time period inactive, uncheck that box.
