Firefox and other 32 bit programs cannot load websites intermittently

From time to time, perhaps once a day, firefox cannot load any websites for about 30 min to several hours. No error message is given, the page just continues to attempt to load. A similar thing occurs in thunderbird at this time as well as IE 8. However IE 8 64 bit operates without a problem.
I commplete all instruction in the support page "Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can", without sucess. I have also disabled all addons and puggins.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
* Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

    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.

  • Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can

    Firefox cannot load any webpages, but IE can.
    I have tried everything suggested. This problem happened befoer I updated Firefox and did not resolve after I updated firefox.
    I tried changing internet settings, disabling firewall, and even disabling IVP6, but nothing is working.

    Have you already seen [[firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]
    *What exactly happens, or does not happen and do you get any error messages ?
    *Is it all websites you have a problem with, or only some ?
    * What happens if you work offline, can you load web pages that are saved on your own computer ? <br> (save something with IE, -as HTML web page files - maybe this page, then try opening it with both Firefox and IE)
    Can you use firefox to look at your local disk such as (depending on your setup) ''file:///C:/''
    Try checking security settings, and security logs, is firefox being blocked ?

  • Firefox cannot load websites, but other programs can. Listed guide/faq not effective.

    I went through the FAQ guide for firefox not loading webpages, but after having changed both boolean setting in the about:config section of the firefox advanced settings, deleting and re-adding it to the program permissions list in my firewall (mcafee antivirus 2011), and even attempting to completely disable the firewall for a period of time, I am still unable to browse the internet on firefox. Internet explorer, however, does work.

    background - family community home pc...mozilla worked great for the longest time (along side IE)...all of a sudden mozilla can't connect to any website...IE always can (yuk)
    troublshooting steps (still can't connect to web w/firefox):
    1. Removed Mozilla, re-installed, same results
    2. Searched for all mozilla folders. Deleted two folders and also daughter's mozilla iphone folder. Removed Mozilla, re-installed, set connection to "no proxy", same results.
    3. Ran "House Call" - no malware found.

    You can override how links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow.override pref.

    Firefox cannot load ANY websites, but IE can, even after I tried all the ideas in the current articles on this topic as of March 10, 2011!
    One day it was fine, and the next day it stopped working! I have tried everything suggested under the topic "Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can."

    You should e able to install FlashPlayer separately on IE and Firefox. So you may use Flash 11.3 on IE and 11.2 or 10.3 on Firefox.
    Work from the administrator account. First of all sort out Firefox, use the Adobe uninstaller to uninstall Flash before reinstalling 11.2 Afterwards check that IE is ok, the Uninstaller may have changed that so you may need to reinstall Flash on IE.
    * see instructions in [[flash 11.3 crashes]]
    You are apparently using an outdated Firefox 8. That is not secure you should update to the latest Release Firefox 13 (or within a day or so Firefox 14)
    You may also encounter problems relating to use of RealPlayer software and that software may affect use of FlashPlayer 11.3
    * see also [[Fix problems with RealPlayer add-ons]]
    * a user ''blacksabath710'' recently posted a workaround in [/questions/931055] suggesting use of free software from http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/
    P.S.
    When you finish set Firefox's FlashPlayer not to upgrade, and until this issue is resolved do not follow suggestions from Adobe, or Plugincheck etc. to upgrade Flash.
    Use this test page form Adobe in each browser and account to check Flash is working ok
    * http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
    The test page will display version information and error messages or a Flash animation to prove flash is working.

  • Firefox 9 cannot load websites but internet explorer 9 can

    The title explains it all really. I have read and done all thats in the "Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can" pages regarding firewalls, malware and others.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

    Running 10.6.8. Trying to open and view contents of a CD (of an MRI) and getting message 'This program cannot be run in DOS mode' Is there a way? Thanks for the help.

    Go to the support site for the provider of the MRI software.
    Sounds like it windows/PC. I have ran across that for the CDs that veterinarians provide for digital x-rays.
    I would try on a PC or on yuur Mac with Windows via BootCamp or a virtual machine like VirtualBox

  • HT1338 hi, my firefox and safari are both having difficulty loading certain parts of web pages. previous to this my firefox would freeze and state that a script was not responding. i would stop the script and reload the page and everything would be fine.

    hi, my firefox and safari are both having difficulty loading certain parts of web pages. previous to this my firefox would freeze and state that a script was not responding. i would stop the script and reload the page and everything would be fine. now though the pages just load very very slowly or load leaving out certain pictures and video content. i've tried clearing my cache's and cookies, resetting my browser etc, but it seems like its a system issue as both safari and firefox are having issues. i've run Avast to screen for malware and it came up empty. any suggestions?

    10.4.8's been a pain for Networking... not sure of all the reasons though, or whether all the complaints might not be MS working around Bugs/Non-compliance, but at this point I think you should get Applejack...

  • Does CRM supports firefox and other browsers apart from IE

    Hi,
    can you pls share if CRM supports firefox and other browsers apart from IE. are their any specific settings to enable other browsers?
    any documentation would be helpful.
    thanks
    RH

    RH,
    From The PAM choose the link SAP Application Components->SAP CRM.
    Then pick your release of CRM.  Then in the release detail information,  choose the web browser and/or web browser platform tabs.
    I.e. I did this for CRM 4.0 and found that basically only IE was supported for IC webclient.
    Take care,
    Stephen

  • How do I uninstall Firefox and other related files from a Mac laptop computer?

    I want to remove Firefox and other files that may not be removed from my Mac laptop computer. How do I do this?

    Firefox also stores personal data in the Firefox profile folder in two locations (main profile and cache files, see about:cache).
    */Users/&lt;user&gt;/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/&lt;profile&gt;/
    */Users/&lt;user&gt;/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/&lt;profile&gt;/Cache
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.

  • Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can (link to solution is dead)

    Firefox either takes a long time to load some pages or simply does not load them, ever. I've just tested it and tried in IE9 to load one of those pages that FF never loads. IE9 loaded it immediately. Browsing through your FAQ pages, i found a question about this problem, but when i click it, it turns out the link is dead

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    You can try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 255 to a more modest setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.
