Firefox cannot load new German IDN character ß

In 2004 Firefox made it possible thatmost of German IDN characters in domains could be used. So when typing in "Fußball.de", the browser converted it automatically into "Fussball.de". Since some weeks the registry denic for .de domains allowed to use also the IDN character "ß". But Firefox is still converting an ß into ss, so the domains cannot be used. When is this going to be changed? Are there any plans yet?

In this case it is, but Firefox replaces them by itself.
Create a page with the attached code and hover over the link, in the source it is ß but in the statusbar it gets ss.
So the page can't redirect anything because it is not even reached. Fußball.de just made a check for the case that the browsers start implementing IDNA2008

Firefox will not load. It says firefox cannot load, your profile is missing or inaccessiable. Help!

All of sudden firefox would not work. When I click on the icon, I get a message that says Firefox cannot load, your profile is missing or is inaccessiable. I have tried downloading firefox, everything seems fine, and than the same message appears. No matter what I do I cannot get it to work. I am a long time user of firefox, so this is driving me nuts. I hate having to use Internet Explorer.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles. 
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

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 ? (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 ?

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.

Well, this is embarrassing. We tried to display this Web page, but it's not responding.
Tell Mozilla about this crash so they can fix it.
Or sometimes for the last tab it shows :
Websites show a spinning wheel and never finish loading
Of course other browsers works 'perfectly' onto loading sites.
What can I do. Is this an e10s bug, that I could help to qualify and how?
Also looking for a workaroud. I want to restore my tabs onto a non-e10s window, but really don't figure how to do that. Means, after relaunching FF-nightly, restore my windows and tabs.
He still give me this message :
Nightly is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. blah blah...
I want to disable e10s as of for now, until he will maybe work again.

If you would like to disable e10s please follow these steps:

Don't worry e10s is getting better every day. It's just a matter of time and hard work.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

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.

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.

Any restrictions set up in Settings/General/Restrictions? If yes, disable them and try again.
Are you logged into the AppStore with the correct and same Apple ID that has been used to set up the phone? If yes, log out of the AppStore in Settings/iTunes & AppStore, reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again, then log into the AppStore.
You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches as well.

Firefox cannot load certain websites and I've tried all suggested options to fix the problem.

I cannot load certain websites (my bank, some public/civic offices, etc.) on Firefox or Internet Explorer (I usually use Firefox) and have tried all the suggested options in Firefox Help to remedy this problem: clearing cache and cookies, making sure no proxy is selected, allowing cookies). How do I fix this? I use a broadband internet connection that is shared.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Firefox cannot load websites when connect/disconnect from any VPN connection

I am consistently uses OpenVPN and RamsesVPN connectivity. But whenever i switch between the VPN connectivity or connect into any VPN or disconnects existing VPN connectivity. My Firefox Browser is unable to load new webpages/Refresh existing open TABS.
In order to restore, i have to restart my Browser each time, whereas i am not facing this problem with Chrome.
I am running with Windows 7 Enterprise edition, and latest Firefox version.
Is there any method to avoid these restarts ?

Hi, this bug is old, but it has useful info for VPNs
See for reference Bug 702111
And there are built in features on the about:config file that you can tweak the number of connections and allowing pipe lining: [http://support.vpnsecure.me/articles/ssh-tunnelling-proxy-troubleshooting/tweaking-firefox-for-best-performance-security Third party information on these connections]
Other suggestions I have seen are to add bookmarks while logged into either vpn. (For example, bookmark the frequent sites you use in either vpn in separate folders)
In Firebug, when you connect or refresh the page when moving from one VPN to the other, do you see a termination in the connection to the first vpn?
