Firefox can't load webpages

Unfortunately the program does not work properly on iMac. The first address is loaded without problems. Therefore whatever. Then just spins and writes connecting. I read all the advice. Unfortunately does not work either. Using version 32.0.1. I disable the firewall, I don't have malware, etc. Both Safari and Chrome it works without problems. We can not have a program to need finetuning to load a web page. I am tempted to think it is a waste of time.

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Ever since installing a VPN (astrill), Firefox won't load webpages until Astrill is connected.

I installed a VPN, Astrill, and since Firefox won't load webpages unless it is on and connected. Once the initial connection has been made, I can turn off the VPN and firefox continues working. I'm on a windows 8.1 operating system. Has anyone had similar problems?

Try going to your Add-ons > Extensions, and disabling the Astrill extension.

Firefox can not load YouTube Website

I put youtube.com in address bar and Firefox can not load youtube website. It eventually times out. Any suggestions? I have tried clearing the cache, closing firefox and re-opening, downloaded firefox again, and the same problem persists.

You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Only firefox can't open webpage.

All of the other browsers in my laptop can open webpages correctly, but my firefox 4.0 beta 7 has problem. I have tried disable IPv6 and so on, it all doesn't work. I have reinstalled as well. Can someone help me with this? BTW, I use firefox for Aptana for javascript troubleshooting.

hi cor-el,
Thank you for your quick reply, actually my problem is the network problem, when I switch a network, the firefox can work well. I have looked at your link, and tried the methods inside, but it seems doesn't work.'''The network doesn't use proxy''', then I choose no proxy. Still not work :-( Any new suggestion?)

Firefox can't load websites but my Windows Explorer can. It was working before but now whenever I try to load a page it says "Problem loading page". What can I do to get Firefox to work?

My Firefox is not loading webpages with the extention .php Why Is This and How Can I Open .php Files In Firefox?

my firefox 4 web browser is not loading web pages with the file extention .php what can i do to load .php web pages in firefox?

No, I know full well what .chm files are, and how to search for info about them. I'd rather have an answer to the specific question I asked, which I asked for specific reasons.
You seem to have ignored my question, and leapt to massive assumptions about what I "really" need, and it's puzzling that you persist with them even after I've told you your assumptions are wrong. Your answers come across as somewhat patronising, maybe intentionally so - is that what you intended? Why would you do that?

Firefox doesn't load webpages at random times, after closing and terminating it in task manager it works again

I just did a fresh install on my computer, and whenever I open firefox and leave it there for a while it would stop loading any web pages. When I close it and reopen FF it tells me that FF is still running and I have to use task manager to end process to reopen FF and it'd for for a while and repeat itself.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

Firefox no longer loads webpages, try to load web address and it goes back to about:home

Just upgraded to Firefox 17 from 15 and when the update installed it said successful, however when I try to load a web address the address bar blinks quickly and shows "about:home" and the webpage doesn't even change at all. Anyone have any ideas of why this could be happening?

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.

Both Safari and Firefox will not load webpage

This is an issue in both Safari and Firefox (I use Firefox as my default, but since it's happening in Safari too, I figured I could post the problem here). I frequently visit Crate & Barrel's website and cb2.com, and as of recent I have not been able to load the site. I've tried on both my eMac (Safari and Firefox) and on my new iMac. I was able to load the page on a windows computer in my house. I'm not sure if I ever viewed their website on my iMac since it's new as of last month. On the eMac I visited the site often. Why all of the sudden would I not be able to load the website? Any help is greatly appreciated!

You have to love when Customer Service reps don't actually read your message:
To Crate & Barrel:
"I recently have not been able to access the Crate&Barrel
website on either my Apple eMac or my new iMac. However, I can access
the site on a Windows computer. I am using Firefox, so it can't be an
issue with the browser. I try to access the site using Safari and that
does not work either. I used to visit the site often on my eMac and
never had any issues loading the page. Any ideas as to what the problem
may be? And why all of the sudden? Any help is appreciated."

Firefox can't load certain stuff

live.com isn't opening/loading and can't see youtube comments while all that is working with Chrome. I did clear my Cache and Cookies but still the same..

Safe Mode does a few different things, but usually the most relevant are:
* Disables hardware acceleration, which can help with graphical glitches
* Disables extensions, which may be interfering with page loading/rendering
Do you want to review your extensions and see whether any can be disabled permanently (or removed)? You might need to exit out of Firefox and start it again normally.
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that help with the problem sites?

Can't load webpages via wireless lan

Hi Guys,
Got a bit of a problem and was looking for some suggestions.
I've been using my 24" iMac via wireless (802.11g) for internet access for about the last year without any problems, but this week its giving me lot's of trouble.
Here's the situation:
- Connecting to a Netgear wireless router/adsl2+ modem.
- I can connect to the WLAN ok but when I try to load a website in either Safari or Firefox, it looks like it is going to load but just stops and sits there indefinitely.
- If I plug in a LAN cable it all works perfectly.
- I can connect using my Vista laptop and it works fine.
- I thought it might be a DNS issue, but I can open Terminal and ping websites successfully. I can also ftp to a few sites using the command line.
- I've obviously tried rebooting the computer, router etc. I also tried disabling MAC address filtering and WPA.
So I'm kind of at a loss at the moment. I haven't installed or changed anything because I used it to browse the web a few days ago and didn't use it until this morning when I found this problem.
I haven't had much time to try anything else so I'll be troubleshooting more when I get home. Just wondered if anyone had some things I can try.
Thanks heaps for you help.
Cheers

Don't worry I figured it out. I seem to have jumped the gun in thinking that it was working via ethernet cable and not with the wireless because neither were working. I thought the ethernet was working but it had just cached google and a few other sites I think.
Ended up factory resetting the router and all is well.
Thanks for looking.
