Firefox and a new wifi modem France Telecom Livebox C8C0

A new wifi modem from France Telecom (Livebox C8C0 is not compatible with Firefox 8 on my 64 bit Dell laptop Inspirion 1440. A Windows 7 troubleshooter got it working but now, each time I open Firefox I get a window asking if I agree to let Firefox change something on my computer. [email protected]

I'm still plugging away at this one.
Here's what I discovered. If I log onto the LiveBox's admin interface (by ethernet) and enable WPA encryption the PowerBook will ask for the WPA password when I try to log on via Airport, when I enter the password it then says "this network uses access control please contact your administrator". So I go back the LiveBox admin screen and I manually add the PowerBook's MAC address as a permitted user. Then I try Airport again. This time it asks me the password as before then pauses for 15 seconds and says "there was an error joining the network".
So now I know that the Mac is talking to the router. I know it is getting past the password stage (if I have one set), it seems to be getting past the MAC filtering stage, but then one or other of the boxes refuses to continue the negotiation.
Looking at other forums I see I'm not the only one with problems on the Livebox (otherwise known as a Sagem 3202). I know the simple solution is a new Belkin or similar but I'm damned if I want to let this little white box defeat me.

  • Renting a France Telecom Livebox

    Hello
    I am in France and am obliged to pay rent on a France Telecom Livebox, to enable me to use the internet, and access with Wifi. Do I need to continue with the Livebox if I invest in a Time capsule?
    Thank you Nigel

  • New WiFi modem no connection

    I no longer have WiFi connection on my iPad after installing a new modem. I have reset my iPad and synced it with my laptop and still no WiFi. Any help is appreciated.

    First go to Settings>General>Reset and reset Network Settings. Then go to Settings>General>Network and see if you can find the SSID (name) of the new network. You should be able to see the network name on your laptop. Then try to join that network. You may have to enter a password.

  • I have an wireless printer and a new wifi router. I have set the printer and iPhone / iPad correctly to the new router but when i try to print it won't recognise the air printer. Help. All was working fine on my old router

    I Have a new wifi router and have set up my iPad / iPhone and wireless printer correctly  to the new router but I can't print from the iPad and iPhone. It keeps saying ' no AirPrint printer found'. Help please!

    Start with the most basic thing that you can try. Unplug the router from power for about 30 seconds, and restart the printer and the iPad and plug the router back into power.

  • Is there any way to disable electric whining on the 2011 Macbooks Pro, when scrolling in Firefox and opening new tabs?

    This happens only in Firefox w/o addons; under Mac OS X 10.6.7

    To specify the issue: A high-frequency noise can be heard coming from the left upper side of the Macbook (from beneath the 1 key). It can only be heard when scrolling and opening new tabs in firefox and is not influenced by the volume level and muting.

  • My mac ibook 800 won't let me conect to a newer wifi modem

    my grandpa gave an ibook 800 laptop and i tryed to connect it to my wifi modem but it keeps saying "there was an error connecting to" and then the network name
    dont bother answering this question whith "are you shore the password is right" because i know it is i have memorized it by heart and i have had apple products for about 2 years so i know apple fairly well but why whont the darn laptop connect to my wifi!!!!!
    (and if your wondering i am righting this from my other laptop which is win7pro)

    Hello,
    iBook 800Mhz don't gives us much to go on here. is this a G3 or a G4 model of iBook?
    That will make a real difference in what type of wifi security you can connect to. The G3 models have an Airport card, while the G4 have Airport Extreme cards fitted.
    If it's a G3 the likelihood is, your trying to connect to a wifi that has a security encryption of WPA2 and it wont work. It could only connect to WEP or WPA. You can test this by simply turning off the security encryption and your find it will connect fine.
    If it's a G4 then it could connect to WPA/WPA2 encryption. This could indicate another software related problem or an IP address allocation problem from the router.
    Let us know what model of iBook you have and we will be sure to give you further advise.

  • My Norton Identity Safe won't work with the new version (4) of Firefox AND the new version isn't asking me to Remember my password info either - SO I now have to type in my password info wherever I go which is NOT a good thing. What can I do???

    I have Norton Internet Security.
    When I downloaded the new FF4 they said that a part of Norton wasn't compatible - and it seems that that part must have been my Identity Safe which holds all my password info & fills in all of my passwords for me.
    You say this new version of FF automatically prompts me to have it save this info for me, but I sure didn't see that prompt and now every time I visit my online banking (and credit card site, etc, etc,) I have had to type in all this info myself.
    This certainly is not convenient!
    It's bad enough I just get used to one system and you all go & reinvent the wheel -BANG!
    Hasn't anyone ever heard of baby steps?

    Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

  • Firefox and a new retina display

    So I just upgraded from a 2011 macbook pro to a new 15" retina display. Everything looks great except Firefox. There, it's scaled all small. The menu items, menubar items and tabs are in like 2pt font and I have to hit cmd + to increase the page size back to normal, but doing that doesn't change the menu and menu bar items, tabs, etc...
    Safari and Opera look great. How do I get Firefox looking normal again?  So far it seems to be the only app that is not properly rendering.

  • Why am I no longer able to connect wirelessly to France Telecom LiveBox?

    I have a Wanadoo WiFi LiveBox in my second home. When I set it up everything was working fine and I had full Wifi internet access. Then the last time I was here I was unable to connect to it wirelessly. I hadn't got time to investigate so I simply used it by Ethernet.
    This visit I've been trying to get to the bottom of it.
    The router works, it connects to the Net, I can connect to the Net through Ethernet. A friend's PC laptop connects to it faultlessly by Wifi, so this suggests the problem is with my PowerBook.
    It appears on my AirPort menu and when I select it the Mac pauses for 15 seconds then returns the error message "There was an error connecting the the Network '3B4' ". I've tried several times. I've tried rebooting both the Mac and the router. I've rebooted the router from the admin interface as well as pulling out its power lead. But the problem persists.
    I even looked at the Keychain Manager to see if I could delete the Keychain component in case this has become corrupted but there is no sign of it there. (all the other Wandadoo boxes I've connected to over the last year are there funnily enough). I've tried switching off all my OS X firewall services, but no joy.
    It's annoying being unable to Wifi to my own router when everyone else can
    Any thoughts?

  • Connecting HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m to a new WiFi connection without attaching the printer cable

    Hi All,
    I have recently changed my ISP and so new WiFi network has been set up at home.
    Now I want my printer (HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m) to connect to the new network.
    Is there a way I do this without having to attach a printer cable between my laptop and the printer?
    Thanks

    Yes, on the front of the printer: Setup > Wireless > Restore Defaults.
    Now on your computer, in the HP folder, run the Printer Setup and Software to add the printer to your new network.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • I had apower surge and blew out my modem. Bought a new modem / router, and now I can not download PDF files. If I use internet explorer I can download them. Not with Firefox, I'm using Firefox 5.0

    Everything else works fine. I've tried with 3 different modems. I was told it wasn't the modem. Something else is preventing The PDF file from loading.I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled,checked all the settings. I can't find anything wrong. I figure it must be missing a plugin or something'''bold text'''

  • New home and new WIFI sluggishness

    I recently moved in with my girlfriend. At my last location, I quit using wifi, was connected directly via ethernet to my cable internet modem. I was also Airport sharing the connection for my kids' iMac.
    Now in her new place (and new wifi), I can connect with full bars via Airport, but many sites do not load the first time. I need to refresh the browser several times to get many sites to load.
    I have turned off the internet connection sharing as well. Is it some type of DNS problem?
    clueless... assuming it has something to do with the move.

    HI greengrass,
    There is no real procedure for you as a customer.  You can place an order for broadband and phoneline simultaneously.  BT will take care of the rest.
    If there a line in the new place then it might need an engineer call out in order to get it up and going but this will be made clear whenever your order is placed.

  • I have an ipad2 with wifi and 3G.  My wife and I are traveling in France (Nice) then into Italy.  We are unable to purchase a data plan because our Verizon IPad will not accept a sims chip...we are told.  We were advised that this model wound work in Euro

    I have an ipad2 with wifi and 3G.  My wife and I are traveling in France (Nice) then into Italy.  We are unable to purchase a data plan because our Verizon IPad will not accept a sim chip...we are told.  An Apple store employee here said this model is good only in the US. The iPads here take a sim card. We were advised by an Apple Store Employee at home that this model would work in Europe and that we could buy our service here.  That does not seem to be the case.    We have been told that we must invest in a modem at 200.00€ and then purchase a separate service plan for each country. We can use the free wifi wherever it is available but we cannot connect to the outside world when out of range. Is there anything else we can do?
    Thanks, John

    Unfortunately, no other solution is available.
    Hope this helps

  • I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to.

    I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to. I can't find anywhere in the utility or network preferences that will allow me to choose this router as the default. How do I fix this? BTW I'm using Lion.

    Are there any previous networks that you have used that have the same password as Molly?  YES
    Using System Preferences > Network > AirPort Advanced again, you need to remove any listings of previous networks that used the same password as Molly. Click the name of the network and click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list of connections.
    Also delete any other networks (except Molly at the top of the list) that might have used the same name...Molly in the past.
    Delete any other networks that you no longer need so that your Mac will search for networks more quickly
    Click OK, then click Apply
    Open KeyChain Access and look for a listing of any old networks that you no longer need. Click to highlight the name of the network, then click the Delete Key on your computer.
    Then look for any old networks that might have used the name Molly in the past and do the same for them.
    Then look for any old networks that might have used the same password as the password for your "new" Molly network and delete them in the same way
    Click the KeyChain Access menu just next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen
    and then click KeyChain First Aid
    Enter the main administrator password for the Mac you are using and highlight the Repair button. Then click Start. You will see a message that repairs have been completed
    Quit Keychain Access
    Power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
    Power up the modem first, then your main router, the other devices one at a time
    Log on to Molly and see if the Mac remembers it after a few tries. If not, I'm afraid that you will need to change the name of the wireless network and password on your router due to corruption issues on the Mac. You have done everything possible without re-installing the complete operating system.
