Firefox cant find a server after updating. other browsers can. tried all suggested fixes, any suggestions?

"Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at....."
keep getting this when trying to access the internet. only started happening after updating to firefox .36
Running windows xp, firefox has been working great until now. ive tried all the suggested fixes, firewalls etc.
Chrome and explorer are working fine but im a firefox fan and dont want to change. any help would be gratefully appreciated

Hello gregmurphy128,
This does sound like a Firewall issue. Are you running any security software on your PC?
If not, here are instructions for Windows Firwall: [[Configure Windows Firewall to allow Firefox access to the Internet]]
Thanks,
Curtis

  • I have an Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (Simultanious Dual_Band) (MC340LL/A), and updated the software.  After updating no devices can connect via wifi.  Any suggestions.

    I have an Appl,e AirPort Extreme Base Station (Simultaneous Dual_Band( MC340LL/A.  After updating the software, no devices can connect via wifi.

    As suggested in another discussion area, (AirPort), I reset the AEBS to factory defaults. On the TV, I went to >Settings>General>Network>Configure Wireless>Wireless Networks. I could then see the generic "Apple Network xxxxx" on the TV. From my MacBookPro, I verified that I could connect to the TV by launching iTunes and noting that the TV was now visible in the "Devices" menu. Went back to the AEBS and ran through the "Setup" routine. I did NOT use the "Previous Settings" but instead, saved the old settings profile, created a new wireless network and new settings profile and enabled WPA2 Personal encryption. I then went back to the TV and went through the "Settings" routine again (as noted above). This time, after entering my WPA2 password, the TV connected to the network and problem was solved. Thanks.

  • Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. How do I fix this?

    Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. Once i reconnect to the network, the page loads, but after loading a few more pages, the same thing happens all over again.
    This happens each and every time, on different Wifi networks, in different locations.  On the other hand, I don't ever encounter this problem when I tether my laptop to my mobile phone's 3g/2g network using Personal Hotspot. How do I fix this?

    Try this DNS server ...
    Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
    Click + and type:
    208.67.222.222
    Click + again and do the same.
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Quit and relaunch both your browsers to test.
    If that doesn't help, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    And here >  Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity

    Pull down on the middle of home screen screen ( not from the top ! ) and you will get the old spotlight search that was previously available by scrolling the home screen right....

  • Since downloading the most current iTunes software I can no longer print the insert (label) for a jewel case.  The songs are printed over each other and can not be read.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Since downloading the most current iTunes software I am no longer able to print an insert (label) for a jewel case.  I click on print, choose jewel case and then it doesn't matter which option I choose for the insert it will only print the songs over each other in a 1 inch section so that it can not be used or read.  If instead of clicking on the jewel case I click on list it works fine and prints an appropriate list.  I have always updated the iTunes software the first time I am offered to do so and I have never had a problem printing the jewel case inserts.  Since this issue is not about a piece of hardware iTunes help will not help me. 

    Did you ever get a response?
    If you so how did you correct the problem?
    I have the exact problem you had.
    Please let me know.
    Thank you

  • HT1146 I wiped out my mail icon on my desktop. I can't find awat to restore it so I can get to my emails. any suggestions with out having to reload my OS?

    I wiped out my mail icon in my dock, I guess I deleted it totally? I can not locate it anywhere. Does anyone know how to recreate the mail icon so I can get to my incoming mail? With out having to restore my OS?
    Thanks,

    Yes, I think my GF some dragged the mail icon into the trash bin and emptied the trash. because the bin has nothing in it? I think that could be why i can't find anything of a mail folder or icon?
    Thanks,

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Today ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

    Read this somewhere else: Can't find it again so can't reference - apols.
    fixed by entering
    about:config into the nav bar
    toggle dom.storage.enabled to 'true'
    worked for me - but don't know what it does or why :)

  • 3gs no service after updating to ios 5 tried network reset, reset all settings and even restoring from back been with out phone for 3 weeks now need help telus cant find network problem and apple has bad customer support please help!!!

    my 3gs has no service after updating from ios 5 tried resetting network settings, resetting all settings and restoring from back up on itunes.
    telus cant find any network problems and apple is difficult to deal with.please help 3 weeks with no phone and $70 a month not happy.

    I have been having a similar problem for the last few days.Without warning the signal will just completely duck out leaving the device searching for several minutes before settling on a no signal message.
    Sometimes restarting the device, toggling data and 3g settings or toggling Airplane Mode will set things right. However, a lot of the time I've been left without a working phone.
    I don't believe this is a SIM issue, as I had to change my SIM only one month ago for another signal related problem. Again any help would be appreciated here as well.

  • Firefox sometime can find specific server then at other times it can not. Also when on a web site and you attempt to go to anotherpage on the site, it lock up or can not find the page.

    Firefox cannot find a server that it has gone to easily in the past. Also it will lock up or can not find a page with in a web site ie like with FoxNews and you want to read and article. Firefox cannot find it. Sometimes I can not even log on to FireFox.

    Hi Corel
    Thank you for your reply
    However I need the lower case version for some sites and the upper case version for the site in question? To make matters worse this site does not allow you to change your log on name unless it is in the form of an e-mail address
    So what I need is Kostas for this site and kostas saved for other sites and allow me to choose which one I want to use
    How do I do this please
    I have no bother with this on Win Internet Explorer but I like Firefox
    Mind it may be as simple as deleting The appropriate entry and resetting with Kostas instead of kostas?
    But I would appreciate knowing the correct solution from an expert

  • I cant activate my iPhone after updating to ios 7.1.2

    Hello,
    I cant activate my iphone after updating to 7.1.2. Before this I update my iPhone from 7.0.6 to 7.1.1 everything goes fine. But after update to 7.1.2 I cant activate my iPhone eventhough I use the same Apple ID when I activate this iPhone.
    Please dont ask : Maybe you forgot your Apple ID password? - I use my apple ID almost for 3 years for my iPod n iPhone. And it still fine for my iPod.the
    I have : -
    1. A box with same IMEI serial number.
    2. Service Card with same IMEI serial number.
    3. All original accessories that come with this iPhone.
    This is just a prove that this iPhone is not a stolen iPhone.

  • Device not listed in find my iphone after updating my apple id password

    how to track my iphone5 that is already lost and when i sign in icloud my lost device is not listed in find my iphone after updating my apple id password. i also enabled icloud and imessage and facetime in that iphone using my current apple id that i used in icloud. pls help me

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

    The vast majority of activation issues are the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.  If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • Firefox cannot load pages that other browsers can, but the 'help' page for this issue did not fix the problem.

    I am troubleshooting an issue occurring on a family member's pc. Immediately after changing their "search" settings from "Yahoo search" to "Google search", they found that Firefox was unable to load any webpages. After troubleshooting the problem, I found the "Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can" help page, and attempted each of the solutions listed. None of those solutions fixed the issue. Also, I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox; the issue persists. However, the 'new' version of Firefox remembered the tabs left open when the 'old' version was deleted, so some temporary files likely persisted.
    Are there any other steps that can be taken, or is Firefox on this computer no longer an option?

    Start with this;
    Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
    Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
    Check the settings.
    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
    '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}
    If there is still a problem, go to that computer and do this;
    Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press '''Enter.'''
    Under the main banner, press the button; '''Copy Text To Clipboard.'''.
    Then in the reply box at the bottom of this page,
    do a right click in the box and select '''Paste.'''
    This will show us your system details.

  • After I installed the recent Apple security patch, I can no longer save PDFs when using Safari. And Firefox no longer can open website PDFs. Any suggestions?

    If the previous Safari suggestion doesn't work try the following:
    In Finder, go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins and move AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin to the Disabled Plug-ins Folder.  Restart Safari.  If this works you may just want to delete that FUBAR plug-in.
    Thanks.  This was the solution for me.
