Firefox 4 does not connect while firefox 3.6 does

Firefox 4 beta 6 has no internet connectivity, whether I try an URL or IP address, but has local connectivity using an IP address. Running it as root does not make any difference, running the 3.6 version or any other program works perfectly.
I also tried starting it after removing the profile, and there was no previous profile when I tried as the root user, so it does not seem to be related to the configuration.
The program files are in /home/mozilla/firefox/* and the profile is in /home/mozilla/.mozilla/firefox/*
Debian 5.0.6
Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64
Addendum : I compiled Firefox 4 beta 6 from source and this one works well. Problem solved for me.

I totally agree, there have been many Mac users that have been effected by this.

Keyboard and mouse not connecting while sleeping

iMac 21.5 inch late 2009 running OS Lion 10.7.2
My computer will go to sleep then when I go to use again the bluetooth keyboard, magic mouse and trackpad are not responding. As if they were not connecting. I checked all my settings and they are correct. The wake with bluetooth devices option is on. While the computer is sleeping I can press the power button and it will come out of sleep to my login prompt but I still can not type in my password or use any mouse. The only way to make it work again is a hard restart.

I have exactly same problem with iMac and Mac mini.
Problem was already with Snow Leopard and continues with Lion.
Have you tried to use usb mouse or keyboard?
I have, and even they don´t operate.
As well iPhone/iPad mobile mouse don't operate.
PRAM & SMC reset done, no help.
If trying to ping with another computer, you can't find that Mac in problem. Not via WLAN or ethernet.
Disconnecting eg. a usb hard disk shows a message on screen that disk was not disconnect propely... etc, showing that computer is alive.
Mac mini is used only for watching TV, there are no other sofware installed except the OS.
Edit: Different versions of VLC installed on both Mac for watching videos / TV
All system is updatet to latest version.
MacBook Air don't have this issue at all.

Audition saying mic not connected, while other audio editing software does.

     Okay, just got the trial version to start with, was originally getting a directsound input error, which thanks to this board I was a
ble to fix with asio4all, and at least I'm not getting constant, persistant errors, and Audition is now allowing me to push the record button. Definately a step in the right direction.
     However now I've hit a roadblock, at first I thought it was just my mic, but I had the crappy sound recorder on windows vista try and that works perfectly fine, so I know it's not the mic. In Audio hardware setup it's telling me that the device is there and operating... And I know it's not a volume thing, as again, tested that out as well.
     And yet Audition doesn't realize there's any input audio at all. No levels. Can't for the life of me figure it out.

You've got a two stage process to select the mic in on the Vista OS.
You say you've already selected the appropriate sound device in Audition's Audio Hardware Setup. However, you also have to right click the little loudspeaker icon in the Task Bar and select "recording devices". On the menu that comes up you'll have a selection of things to record--make sure the "green tick" is on the mic input you're using.
Hope this helps.

Mail not connecting while "sleeping"

I'm having an issue getting my MBP to continue checking for mail when it is "sleeping." In the "energy saver" prefernce panel, I have my 'computer sleep' setting set to 'never.' Display sleep is at 15 min.
Before Mavericks, when I left my MBP with Mail open, it would check for mail every 10 minutes as if I were in front of the machine even though the display was asleep, and apply sort the junk from my inbox. This was a really helpful because when I checked my mail on my phone (I have an IMAP account), the spam would already be sorted out.
After Mavericks, when I come back to my computer and switch to Mail, I can see it that it hasn't been checking for mail, and hence not sorting out junk mail. It will then start to connect again, but only while I'm actually using the comptuer.
I understand that if my machine was asleep, it shouldn't check, but shouldn't it continue to do so since I have sleep set to 'never?'
Is there some other new setting in Mavericks that I'm missing that will help me fix this behavior?

E72 - auto-connect while opening e-mail folder

hello all,
i've got 2 e-mail accounts set in the phone. those work without any problem.
i've got synchronizations for both accounts set to each 30mins and that too works fine.
i've got set AUTO-CONNECT to the specific internet access points to ease the synchronization process.
however - after sync done and some e-mails received, while opening the e-mail account's folder it again auto-connects to sync without any confirmation (as it's in E61i and E71).
how is that to set it to ask to connect (or even NOT connect) while opening the e-mail folder?
any help would be appreciated!

When you choose "Auto" as the type of encrypted connection, outlook will try to establish a connection from most to least secure encrypted connection.
This particularly issue always occurs when travelling and connecting through a different ISP. Changing the port may fix this issue:
Please first try entering 587 as the port. Then change “Use the following type of encrypted connection” to
TLS.
If you still get an error, you might want to use “2525” without any encryption (not secure), or “465” with
SSL encryption (secure).
If issue still presists, you might need to check with your ISP.

Firefox has not been saving any of my preferences when I close the program in addition to resetting to a manual proxy that does not connect every time I re-open the program

For a while now, every time I close the program and later reopen it, it attempts to utilize a proxy I didn't set for it. It does not connect and ends up not going anywhere. I then change the settings to no proxy and continue...however this is very irritating. Additionally, I cannot seem to change my homepage permanently, so I believe the issue involves Firefox not saving information when it closes. Not sure how to fix that though, as I have tried reinstalling it with little effect.

See this article for some suggestions: [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]]

App-Manager does not connect to Firefox OS Simulator on Windows 7

OS: Windows 7
Firefox: 28
Firefox OS 1.2 Simulator 6.0pre8.20140112
When I start the Simulator it opens fine and I can see a Firefox OS Desktop
But the App Manager does not connect. The console at the right bottom just says:
...connecting to localhost:56455 (the port varies)
...connection timeout. Possible causes: didn't click on 'accept' (prompt).
...disconnecting
...disconnected
I disabled my firewall, restarted firefox and even the system - did not help
there is a similiar bug - but I am not sure if we are talking about the same:

well - I already knew these links and I can`t find anything helpful there
anyway, I tried the (unstable) Simulator for 1.3 instead of 1.2
this one works fine

Why does my Firefox keep saying "not connecting"?

Hi,
I have Firefox for my Windows Vista (I believe the version is 20. I don't know precisely and don't know how to find it) and have had problems since last night. After I was up and running smoothly for about ten minutes, there was a message in the upper left hand corner of Firefox that said "not connecting" (or something along those lines). In the past, this would happen and I'd click "CTRL/ALT/DELETE" to close it out, reopen and everything would run fine. Now when I use those three keys, the computer eventually freezes. I contacted Geek Squad for assistance and the lady there claimed you all have had problems in the past couple weeks. Maybe I finally caught up with those problems (as this just happened last night and it's been happening all today)? Anyways, I'd like this resolved quickly. On my first call to Geek Squad, he advised me first to check for Windows updates and install them (there was one recommended to install and three optional ones. When I clicked to install the recommended one, it again froze with the "not connecting" message or whatever it says). Let me know how I can proceed on this issue. Thank you.

Hello,
Please update to the latest version of Firefox by going to getfirefox.com and then if that doesn't help, please try safe mode as outlined below:
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Safari and iTunes not connecting to internet after 10.5.3 but firefox does

Hi,
My first post ever. I just updated to 10.5.3 from 10.5.2 After the update, I can not connect to the internet using Safari. I get an error message that I have no internet conection. I ran the network diagnostics and everything was reported as working correctly. I also ran a repair permissions from disc utilities. Still can not connect with Safari. I also noticed that itunes can not download any podcasts. My "software update" in system perferences can not connect either. Firefox has no problem going online.
Any suggesttions on how to proceed?
Thanks

Also worked on 10.4.11. I installed an Airport Express and updated all the software and firmware on my MacBook. After Safari, Itunes store, Google earth could not connect but Firefox was connecting fine. Followed your tip. Disableing the proxies on the Network config does the trick. Very simple but very helpful, thanks.

Hello!
Welcome to Apple Discussions:
What IP address is your Powerbook getting from the AE?

Using Firefox on Windows 7, if I leave Firefox running but the computer not connected to the internet (while I leave the computer for a while), Firefox reconnects to the internet. How do I stop this?

If I leave my computer unattended, with Firefox running but the computer not connected to the internet (using a modem), Firefox (or the pages displayed on it) will reconnect with the internet. I have not allowed auto-reconnection. So how do I stop this?

install new copy on os
try again
