Firefox cannot load anything but ms explorer works fine

when i try to access any site i get message 'done' at bottom left of screen but nothing else.
firefox has worked fine before
explorer works fine

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.

  • Firefox cannot load anything but the Inbox on gmail (it can neither reply, nor forward, nor load the Settings tab), but the xplorer can

    I have a very specific problem, only with the Gmail page. This problem only occurs on Firefox. I get the Inbox page and see my messages, but I cannot do anything other than that. I cannot reply, forward, or open the Settings tab. Whenever I try to do anything of the sort, it remains jammed on "Loading..." and never changes the page. I do not experience this problem with the Explorer, so I have to use Explorer to work with my Gmail web account.

    I have two yahoo accounts and I know as they 'improved' their servers I had periodic outages. It'd work fine on my webmail on  my computer, webmail on the iPad, but not via the mail app. And it was stuff on their end. It may be a case of wait and see and you may need to eventually remove/readd the account on your iPhone.
    When the issue is on their end, unfortunately there's not much for users to do beyond wait it out or find work arounds.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

    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

    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.

  • Firefox cannot load websites, but IE can, even after I tried all the ideas in the current articles on this topic as of March 10, 2011!

    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 says "Unable to connect" but Interent Explorer works fine

    I have Firefox 8.
    I am running vista.
    Firefox should load the homepage, Set to aol.com, but it won't load anything.
    The browser just shows a white dotted box for an icon.
    It says Connecting.. for 3 seconds and stops.

  • Firefox cannot load websites when Internet Explorer can.

    I have read your article about this but I cannot follow your instructions as the only "tools" I can find to click on is in IE and brings down "internet options", which has an "advanced" tab (not a panel) and no settings tab. Am I misssing something? I am having the same problem on my desk top! Both have just occured in the last 2w. Thanks; Robin

  • 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.

  • Firefox won't work, every website has an error like the internet isn't connected but internet explorer works fine, how do I fix it?

    This is the message I get for EVERY website I have tried: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at support.mozilla.com. I have checked the firewall and didn't notice any problems but I might not know what to look for. I have uninstalled and re-installed the program and still have the problem, I have also tried on different wireless internet signals and restarting my computer. I am using windows 7.

    No problems here with that visited counter on your website.
    Which extensions did you install?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
