FIREFOX cannot acsess my internet

when i open firefox it says "Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. I have tryed these steps already their is no problem with my internet.

Did you specifically look at

The other browsers don't seem to have such problems, only Firefox.

  • Firefox cannot connect to internet, although internet explorer will, this problem just starter today, any ideas of what I should dpo

    Everytime I try to use firefox I get a message saying Firefox cannot connect to the internet. It was working fine yesterday. I can connect without any problems using Internet Explorer, so I know it is not my internet connection?

    Thanks, for responding.
    I did a hard reset of the linksys router. I changed the name of the wireless network. I did this using the PC that is wired to the router. The PC continues to work just fine.
    The G4 continues to be able to log-in in the wireless network, but there is no internet connection with the G4. Under Network Status, the G4 says "Airport is connected to the network. Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet" Is this something I should try to fix?
    Thanks!

  • Firefox cannot connect to internet yet other programs can!

    Whenever I load Firefox 3.6.7 It doesn't connect to the internet. It constantly says "Unable to connect" however, other browsers such as Opera, I.E, Chrome, these work, also same for Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 too.
    What is the problem?

  • Firefox cannot connect to Internet.

    Firefox 5.0 cannot connect to the Internet after changing the connection from my corporate connection to any other connection. Changing from any other connection to the corporate gives the same problem with the Firefox. IE 7 can connect to the Internet after the changing. Closing and restarting the Firefox allows to connect, but the closing loses all the open pages in the tabs.
    The network setting is to use the system proxy settings.
    How to resolve the problem? How to make Firefox not to lose connection, as IE7 does not lose?

    The default Firefox home page is on your own machine, so sound like it is your Firewall.

  • Just installed firefox 3.6.12 on windows xp. Firefox cannot access the internet. Explorer works fine.

    New install of firefox 3.6.12 on windows xp professional. Firefox can not access the internet. firefox starts but when you click on the get started button it comes back with a unable to fine mozilla.com error. Explorer works and I can ping mozilla.com

    For me it seems to be related to the Shockwave Flash plugin (10.1 r85). Firefox seems to crash only when some flash pages have to be displayed and if I disable to the Flash player plugin Firefox don't crash anymore. This is not a solution just a diagnostic.

  • Firefox cannot browse the internet until I clear an "OFF LINE WORKING" ITEM FROM THE MENU ?

    How do I clear "off line working?" to allow Firefox to browse the net?

    Presumably you're using FF4 (?).
    If so, do the following.
    * Right click a blank part of the Tab Bar and then click the top option called "Menu Bar". This will remove the orange Firefox button, but reinstate the text links at the top.
    * Next, click "File", then click "Work Offline" to remove the checkmark. You should now have Internet access.
    To reinstate the previous layout, repeat the same steps.

    Thank you.

    You need to do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Firefox cannot connect to the internet...i can get on with int. explorer

  • Have disabled IE on windows pc and am using Firefox as browser. iTunes now says cannot connect to internet even though Firefox working: suggestions

    Have disabled IE on windows pc and am using Firefox as browser. iTunes now says cannot connect to internet even though Firefox working: suggestions?

    There is a plugin for Firefox - see here
    http://latestversionplugin.com/current-version-plugin-itunes-application-detecto r.html
    It should be installed automatically if you install iTunes, but I guess when you installed iTunes you didn't have Firefox.  Just reinstall iTunes and it should work OK  (your iTunes library will not be affected)

  • Yesterday I download Firefox 4. When I tried to open it I got message that Firefox was "working offline" How can I change this back to on-line when I can't get any farther? All other programs work fine, I just cannot access the internet.

    Computer is a desktop running Windows Vista. IE will not open either saying "there is a problem and shutting down". My laptop with Firefox 3.6 works fine.

  • When I open a second Profile while another is running the second cannot access the Internet until I close the first. Why?

    I often have occasions to run more than one Profile simultaneously (usually because of different add-ons I've installed on different Profiles). In the past this worked fine. Now, all of a sudden, if I open a second Profile while the first is running the second cannot access the Internet until I close the first. It keeps looking for a website, and failing, until the system "times out". If I close the first Profile, the second is then able to access the Internet.
    Note: this is not a problem with opening a second Window in Firefox. As long as they are from the same Profile they will both work fine. Nor does this stop me from using a second Profile to look at website files I have saved to my computer. The only problem is that the second Profile cannot get on the Internet.

    I just checked, the setting was for "Automatic proxy configuration URL", in the past it was set on "No Proxy". So I'll try changing that (and/or try other proxy options), and see if that solves the problem.
    If it does, then just one (academic) question remains: why did that happen in the first place? I don't care what the answer is, so long as your suggestion solves the problem.
    Thanks.

  • Safari cannot find the internet plug in

    I have a new Intel iMac that initially had no problem surfing any web site. I now have a problem with any page that contains "shockwave". As and example when I try to got to www.autotoll.com.hk I get stopped by the following message...
    ++Safari cannot find the internet plug in++
    ++The page “Autotoll” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:++
    ++http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer++
    ++Do you want to open the page?++
    I have gone to macromedia numerous times and tried to download and install Flash Player 9. I still get the same message.
    I have also tried using FIREFOX and get the same message.
    How do I install Flash Player 9 properly??????
    HELP!!!

    Re: FLASH 9 won't work with Safari 2.0.4 or Firefox (A FIX!!!)
    Posted: Aug 24, 2007 4:44 AM in response to: threejay10
    threejay10,
    thanks for pointing me to the other discussion thread on
    http://www.justin-cook.com/wp/2007/03/08/flash-9-doesnt-work-on-mac-os-x/
    i am not that comfortable in Terminal so I opted for the one other option i could see that doesn't reliance on me typing a slew of sensitive characters into Terminal.
    So, instead, I downloaded Pseudo from VersionTracker
    http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9608
    installed it in my applications folder. then dragged the Flash 9 installer onto Pseudo. Flash then installed perfectly and all is working well.
    It seems there is a simple fix after all. Apparently Pseudo installs into the root and therefore, I assume, bypasses the permissions issues. After 2 days of trying to solve this, I"m happy it's over. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. I hope others can find this thread and the solution.
    Cheers, TM

  • Error: "FT DeepDark 11.3.1 could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file." What does this mean?

    In an earlier version (Firefox v.31) on this, and (presently) on two other PC's, I was/am able to run add-on FT DeepDark 11.3.1 without any problems. It was only recently - after updating to v.32.0.3 on this PC that this situation started. The PC in question is a Dell Dimension 8400 Intel P4 running Windows 7, though I'm thinking it may have something to do with the newer version of Firefox. Could anyone help me with this? I like this add-on because it is easier in my eyes when browsing the internet. Thanks
    PS: Attempted to install the troubleshooter, and again I received a similar error: "Troubleshooter could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file."

    This error has been reported before in this bug:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730040#c21
    Please read that bug I linked you to and let me know if the last comment in the bug solves your problem. Apparently the problem is about the addon .xpi file being read-only. Try right-clicking it, going to Properties and unchecking the "Read-only" attribute box at the bottom of the dialog. Click Apply, then OK.
