Firefox 8.0 will not load web pages for multiple Windows XP users

We're running Windows XP 5.1 SP3 with two user accounts. After upgrading to Firefox 8.0, Firefox will no longer load web pages for the second user when the first user is logged in and running Firefox. (We typically use "Switch User" as opposed to logging out when taking turns at the computer.)

I guess that was a possibility
I gave up on version 8
I uninstalled it, googled version 7 and installed that and now it runs fine when I switch user to user
Thanks for the help I'll take it into consideration if I update again

  • Firefox will not load web page (I also have Internet Explorer 8 installed).

    Fire Fox will not load web pages. It may have something to do with proxy settings but I have reset this to Auto-Detect which is where it has always been in the past but still nothing. Something has reset my proxy settings in the past which caused a similar problem but doesn't seem to be the issue this time. I have Internet Explorer 8.0 installed on computer right now and it seems to work.

    After looking into this further I checked firewall settings in Panda A.V. For Firefox they were set to Custom settings which effectively disabled it. I changed setting to Outbound only like Internet Explorer and other programs and Firefox seems to work fine now. Hope this helps others who have experienced this problem. I have teenage children who use computer a lot (Face Book, etc.) so the root of the problem may have been Malware, Adware, or something else but hopefully Panda has taken care of this.

  • The new version of Firefox, 18.02, will not load any pages. Why not?

    I attempted to open Firefox and was told it would load when the updates were applied, which was nothing new. It loaded fine and there were no incompatible add-ons, but it will not load any web pages. I'm on the same computer using Chrome to send this message. Everything was working fine in release 18.01.

    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.

  • Device Central will not load web pages

    Started using Device Central to view a web site I'm designing
    for a client. Loading within Dreamweaver and Device Central, pages
    will not load, the program stalls. I have had no luck in finding
    information on-line and cannot re install the application ( it's
    not listed in the reinstall items on my Adobe Web Premium CD ) .
    Some help would be much appreciated!! Running OS X 10.5 on a 2.4
    GHz Intel Core Duo Mac Book Pro.

    Right but like so many things, what works for you does not
    work for me (this was while loading a locally stored, plain old
    html page in the same manner you used).
    Here
    is a screenshot of what I get which is then followed by
    this
    screenshot.
    Perhaps it is a Mac only problem. Until Adobe does or says
    something about it... who knows.

  • FF 5.0 will not load web pages

    I D/L'd FF5.0. iMac 10.6.8 The browser opens but URLs will not load. All I get is the error message FF is having PROBLEM LOADING THIS PAGE. Well it seems to have a problem loading any page. FF 3.6.19 worked just fine. Why wouldn't FF 5.o work. I sure don't want to screw around with any settings unless I know what the problem is. Fortunately I reinstalled my old version of FF using 'Time Machine." Thank you Apple.

  • Latest version does not load web pages correctly with windows 8 system

    I did a new install of Firefox (latest version) on a new Windows 8 laptop (I did not import anything). When I go to Hulu & Facebook (as an example, this happens to almost all sites I try to load) the pages do not load correctly, I get hyper links on the left side of the screen. If I refresh then the pages load correctly.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.

  • Safari will not load web page

    I run a network of 10 macs, all run OSX 10.4.11 using Safari 3.0.4 (523.12.2) Two of the macs (One: imac 2.4 Ghz intel with 3 gb ram; the second computer MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz, 2 gb ram) Cannot access one website by typing the name (www.visiondc.com) -- I can only access this by entering the IP address. The reset of the network does not have any issues accessing the website. The interesting point I cannot access the site using other web browsers (firefox, opera) unless I use the IP address.
    Can anyone help?

    I have EXACTLY the same problem...I'm running Safari 3.0.4 Public Beta as well and this is driving me insane. It's completely inconsistent - some web sites are fine, while others are not. I have tested the same site from another PC (running Windows/IE) and it works fine so I know it's not my ISP.
    I'm also trying to find out how I can downgrade Safari to the non-beta...please let me know if you know how.
    There are also many hits on the web with this problem but no resolution...I'm still looking and will post an update when I find something.
    So far the problem seems to be associates with the DNS lookup either timing out/not working etc.

  • IMac will not load web pages, but high speed internet.

    Hi all,
    I upgraded my internet yesterday to 100Mbps, and received a modem + router combo from my ISP (Charter). It is a Netgear CG3000D and I have another router hooked up, which is a Cisco/Linksys E3200. The problem I'm encountering is extremely slow page speeds, it'll take from 3 to 5 minutes for pages to load. My first thought was DNS, but of course I tried Google's Public DNS and OpenDNS. Unfortunately, they did not work. I called both the ISP and router manufacturer, but still no luck. I called Apple, but I'm not paying $49 for additional support. I'm assuming my Mac is caching something it's not supposed to. I do not live near an Apple store to see what's wrong. I went into safe mode and the issue still hasn't been resolved. There's multiple devices working fine, and I've noticed when my Mac is connected to my router, my PC goes haywire as well. And FYI -- I connected my iMac directly to the ISP's modem/router and it didn't work either.

    Please help! Much appreciated.

  • Safari will not load web pages

    HI
    I have had an IPad for 6 weeks or so and it has been working fine. However starting today when we select the safari icon I get a blank screen and the google box. Tapping on the google box brings up the keypad. After tapping any key the screen reverts to the main screen with all the icons on. Could it be my Wi Fi system or perhaps something to do with the somertime time change.

    If the reset doesn't work, try these steps.
    Tap Settings, then tap Safari on the left side. Then on the right side - tap clear history, clear cookies, clear cache. Clear all three. Reboot your iPad. Hold down on the sleep button at the top until the red slider appears and slide to power off. Then hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and the iPad will restart. Launch Safari and see if it works now.
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting your network settings. Tap Settings, then tap General on the left side, then scroll down on the right side and tap Reset, then tap Reset Network Settings at the top. Reboot your iPad as described above. After restarting, Go to settings, then select WiFi, select your network name, enter your network password, launch Safari and see if this works.

  • Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

    Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

    Because it doesn't recognise them as valid addresses - just as the error message  says.
    Firefox is similar : Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (fhp) isn't associated with any program.
    Where are you seeing this problem ?.

  • My browser will not load a page or update unless I am actively moving my cursor or typing. If I select a page and don't do anything then it doesn't load at all. I have no idea how this happened or how to fix it. Thanks.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    I would take 'Y2ken's' advice and try Firefox.  I have used it for years with XP Pro and Ubuntu, Linux.  It definitely is more responsive.  Most of what is in IE8 was developed in FF several years ago.  FF was the first browser with tabs, for instance.

  • Why does my browser not load web pages?

    I have been having trouble with my browser not loading web pages.  After clicking on a link or typing in a web page, the page will usually not load.  I have to reload the page a few times, then it will work fine.  I have this problem with all web pages.  As for pages like youtube, if I can get a video to start playing, it will stop loading at random times.  I can back up in the video and start playing again, sometimes this will lead to the video playing further, only to stop loading again.  Help please!

    Try streching it with the bottom left corner. Also try view zom in. You can also try safari preferences resetsafari.
