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?

Have you tried clearing your cache, shutting down the browser and trying again? 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.

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?

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?

Unable To Connect To Some Sites

I am unable to connect to some sites, with the error message "Safari can’t connect to the server." I cannot connect to the site with Firefox either.
Example sites are: www.bostonpizza.com and www.airmiles.ca
However, I am able to connect to these sites when I boot into WinXP.
I have tried pinging the sites in question, getting the following error message: "ping: sendto: No route to host"
It looks like something is bonked with my OS X settings. I have tried the following without any luck:
1. Reseting the computer
2. Clearing Safari's cache
3. Reseting PRAM settings using OptCmd+pr key commands on startup
4. Using OpenDNS in the network DNS settings
I am connected directly to a Linksys ADSL Ethernet modem, and my firewall is set to allow all incoming connections. I'm not running PeerGuardian, and as far as I know I'm not running anything in the background that would bork my network.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I have tried doing a traceroute when running in WinXP, with the following information:

Trace complete.

Thanks for the replies, unfortunately I still haven't resolved the issue. I would say 99% of the sites I visit work fine, but for some reason the odd site won't work.
This is the results for the ping on my Mac OS X system:
PING www.bostonpizza.com (64.40.107.95): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
I can access the site running WinXP in Parallels, and I can access the site in question when I use bootcamp to boot into WinXP, using the same network hardware and same connections.
It looks like from the ping, DNS is working and able to translate the site name, but for some reason cannot access the site.
This is the results of a traceroute that I ran while booted in WinXP:

When booted in Mac OS X, I am able to ping every listed IP address in the WinXP traceroute, except for the last one, 64.40.107.95.
Still no idea what is going on, my network troubleshooting toolbox consists of pretty much ping, and googling error messages.
Thanks,

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

Why am I unable to connect to server to check email? The message reads "cannot connect to server"

Many things could cause this, for example, the email server is down or cannot be reached due to an Internet problem.

Iphone used to connect to internet site when email had reference to the site and I requested it. iphone stopped doing this. How do I get it to resume doing it?

iPhone 4 used to connect to internet site when email had reference to the site and I requested it. iPhone stopped doing this. How do I get it to resume doing it?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.

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 is "unable to connect" to any site, while other broswers can

I've tried clearing my cookies and history, disabling addons/extensions and the firewall, changing/disabling proxy settings, and read several of the articles, but nothing seems to work. I was out of town for 2 days and everything was working fine when I left. Got back today and just kept getting "unable to connect" message for any website I tried to open. I tried to download chrome and opera, but the download had an error and just didn't work (chrome) and just stayed at 0% with nothing happening (opera). i'm able to get emails and get on websites via internet explorer.

Hello vtand06, did you also try a ''Clean reinstall'' ? This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING: Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Unable to connect to Verizon Fios Router after Snow Leopard upgrade

After upgrading to Snow Leopard on the three-year-old iMac, I am unable to connect wirelessly to the Verizon Fios router, and what's worse, the Fios rep couldn't solve it either. She thought that it was an Apple software issue. Any ideas? My other two Macs are still connecting to the router without a problem and the MacBook is using Snow Leopard also.

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.
[[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]

When I open firefox, the web address ishows my chosen home page but the window shows "untitled" and I am unable to connect to any site to the internet.

I chose the New York Times site to be my home page and when I open Firefox this address appears in the web address panel. But in the tab box it says "untitled" and I don't connect to any web page. I have tried reloading firefox, nothing seems to work. How can I stop this?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.

* [[Server not found]]
* [[Firewalls]]
