FF will not hold internet connection settings when closed

Since upgrading to FF4 and subsequently to FF5:
Each day, after booting my system and starting FF, I have to go i nto preferences to reset the internet connection to 'no proxy'. FF defaults to a manual proxy config when closed. The network connection setting of 'no proxy' just won't hold when FF closes.

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.

Firefox will not save my Connections settings, so opens on manual proxy every time, rather than No Proxy?

I'm using Firefox 4.01 and it will not save my connections settings when I set them to "No Proxy" keeps defaulting to manual therefore it wont load any pages until I change it to "No Proxy" which I have to do every time I open firefox.

Firefox prompts me to update. when i do, it will not allow internet connection.

Firefox will prompt me to update. After the installation is complete, I cannot connect to the internet. I've checked the firewall and this is an allowed program. I do not have any proxy settings specified in firefox. I have to restore the earlier version before internet connection is allowed. How do I update firefox without having this problem?

Apple programs will not recognize Internet connection after Tiger upgrade

In January, I posted the question below. I wanted to update it, but this site has archived it and will not allow responses. In the hope that I may help someone else, I am repeating my question, now that I have the answer.
===============================================
ORIGINAL PROBLEM
Last week, I upgraded from 10.3.9 to Tiger. Ever since then, I have had trouble using Apple's programs that require internet usage: Safari, iTunes, Software Update, etc. All of these programs think I am not connected to the Internet. But I am; I can use Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other non-Apple programs on the web.
Furthermore, it's not consistent. Sometimes Safari will recognize the connection. I'll be using Safari, looking up websites, when suddenly it will quit connecting, giving me the message, "Cannot connect to the server," no matter what server it is, even apple.com (so I have to use Netscape to access my .Mac and this Support screen).
How can I resolve this?
==============================================
The problem was that my Earthlink Access software was setting a proxy on my connection. Netscape & Firefox worked because they ignore any proxies; the Apple programs (plus Shiira and Internet Explorer) didn't connect because they use the proxies.
Why did it sometimes work? Well, if I first used Safari to go to a secure website of my bank, somehow that opened up the connection and then I could continue to use the Internet and Internet based programs like iTunes and widgets. However, if I tried to use an Internet-based program before going to the secure site, then it wouldn't work.
After months of phone calls and e-mails and sending data packets and all such stuff with Apple Care, they finally stumbled upon this answer: Uncheck the proxy box. And that did it. At first I had to uncheck it every time I started up the computer, but now it stays unchecked and I can use my Apple programs with no trouble.
I just wanted to share this with you in case you also had trouble with Internet connections after upgrading to Tiger, because I did see several other people had this same trouble.
Movable flat-screen iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25Ghz processor, 256 MB memory (DDR SDRAM)

For the record, could you state each Proxy box you ended up unchecking please? I'll attempt to submit a user tip with credit to you for finding this solution.

IMac slot loading G3 will not recognize internet connection

I am trying to get my slot loading G3 CRT ready to give to my daughter. It runs OS 10.3.9. My other computers running OS 10.4.10 and Airport Extreme run great on the Internet. Trying to get the internet connection recognized by the G3 via "Network" does not happen.
As an aside, the battery is dead. I cannot find good instructions on how to change it. Could the dead battery have an adverse effect on the internet connection?

Hi John
The battery could have an input on this so get that changed. Changing it through the hatch is easier said than done - I've seen too many broken battery holders to support that option - I always open the mac up (10 screws and 10 minutes work).
I'm assuming that your wireless card is working OK - does it show up in system profiler?
Check that the arial is properly connected (while you have the bottom off) it's very easy for the connector to look connected but not be. To separate it from the card is quite difficult when it is properly connected. If it comes out with little or no effort then it probably wasn't in properly at all. There's a definate click when it goes fully home.
This iMac G3 connects automatically as soon as it is switched on, If I turn the Airport off and plug in the ethernet, it automatically switches over and connects.
In Network settings (System Preferences), Location is set to automatic and in both airport setting and ethernet setting, IPv4 is set to "Using DHCP"
That's all there is to it really.
Post back after you change the battery and let us know what happens.
Cheers
Donna

Networked mac will not share internet connection

When I connect my G4Imac to a Imacdv I can establish file sharing etc but the Imacdv is not able to connect to the internet via the G4Imac. Is this not possible or am I missing something? They are connected by ethernet ports but my broadband is by adsl speedtouch modem.
OSX3.9 on both machines

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Go to  Apple Menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > Internet tab.
Now check the
"Share your connection from: Speedtouch Modem
To computers using:
Built-in Ethernet.".
Then click the "Start" button.
I used to do this but to my Powerbook using Airport. I assume that the Speedtouch connects via USB and has it's own driver installed?
kind regards

All of a sudden my new iphone will not hold a charge even when it is not being used and I can't figure out why???

my battery drains even when iphone is not being used. It is a relatively new phone and this battery draining just started and I can't figure out why????

Yes, thank you. My apologies, I was typing one handed and did not add that.
Anyway, I have tried deleting the cache, deleting my pics and then re-syncing, etc. and nothing is working This is very frustrating, as I had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago, and now all of a sudden, I have this issue......UGH!

Wireless keyboard/keypad will not hold bluetooth connection.

when i log on, i get a message stating that there is on keyboard attached to this computer. But, during my last session, my bluetooth keyboard was working. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes for this condition to clear up, and the keyboard to start working again.
What have I done wrong, and is there a way to keep my wireless keyboard and lmp wireless keypad set up so that it attaches on startup?
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Hello:
It may or may not help, but try resetting the PRAM and SMC.

Westell 327W will not allow internet connection to Samsung C6800

After set up was complete, I ran a network test. The first (3) items were OK, but the last item camp up "The http port is blocked". Samsung tech support has no idea what the problem is. Verizon DSL tech support wants to charge me to try to fix. Any ideas?

#1 Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Servers on your computer.
For example if you are using Windows XP.
a) Go to Start -> Run.
b) Type in cmd and press enter.
c) In the new window, called the command prompt, type in ipconfig /all and press enter.
#2 Go to the Default Gateway that you found with your computer.
#3 If you are prompted for a Username and Password, try one of the following:
admin/password
admin/password1
admin/admin
admin/admin1
Your Verizon username/password
#4 Does the screen of your Westell look more like:
a) http://screenshots.portforward.com/Westell/A90-750015-07/index.htm
b) OR http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Westell/Westell6100/Apache.htm

Firefox will not release from Task manager when closed.

I am running Windows xp7 service pack 1. With Firefox 16.0.2 with all add ons disabled. The computer is Dell XPS L702x 64 bit. 6G of Ram. I did not have this problem prior to this of Firefox.

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Open Sysem Preferences from your Apple () menu top left in your screen then select the Firewall tab.
Make sure the Firewall is turned off.

My MacBook Air says it in connected to my wifi, but my wifi signal has a "!" sign on it. My computer will not allow internet access, help?

When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, restart the computer and try again. If there's no change, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Applyand test.
If there's still no connection, and if you have control of the router, compare its settings to Apple's recommendations. Some third-party routers may be incompatible in 802.11b/g/n radio mode. Try setting the mode to 802.11n only.

I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off. It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button together while being plugged into the computer. What do I do?

Plug it into power for at least 15 minutes. If it doesn't automatically come on, try a reset... press the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
