Firefox dose not connect to the internet

After I installed the firefox 4.0 I can not connect to the internet anymore but I could connect through the explorer from the same cumputer, Itryed eferyyhing wireless or cable.

Windows 7 has a firewall which controls access to the internet on a program by program basis. It is possible that Firefox is not in the firewall's list of a approved programs.
Go to the Help feature and search on Firewall and read the information on how to allow a program internet access.
I don't use the Windows 7 firewall, I use ZoneAlarm's firewall. When I installed ZoneAlarm, I disabled the Windows 7 firewall and have never used. Thus, I can't give you detailed directions as to what you might need to do to allow Firefox to use the internet.
NOW - are you able to get to the internet with Internet Explorer, just as a test?
If not, then the problem may be elsewhere, such as your internet connection - dialup, DSL, Cable, etc.

I loaded 4.0 and rebooted. Now Firefox wiill NOT connect to the internet how do I fix this?

Email still works, crappy IE still works. I downloaded the new 4.0 ran the standard install, clicked finish, and Firefox has not connected to the internet since. I've rebooted a couple of times.

Open System Preferences/Network
Select the Location you use at home
You may need to click the Padlock bottom left at this point if it's locked, enter the admin password to unlock
In the left hand column drag the Ethernet connection to the top of the list and remove any you don't use
Click the Advanced button bottom right
Click the TCP/IP Tab
Set Configure IPv4 to Using DHCP
Click OK bottom right and you should see the Router IP number appear and a unique but similar one for your Mac
Click Ok then click Apply and close the Panel

After updating to Firefox 3.6.15, Firefox will not connect to the Internet, even after uninstalling and re-installing Firefox in my Windows XP environment.

After downloading the Firefox 3.6.15 update, my problems began. Firefox would not connect to the Internet. When I rebooted my PC, Firefox said that it couldn't access any Web sites. I uninstalled Firefox, then downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.15. I still have the same problem: Firefox will not connect to the Internet. I am running Windows XP, service pack 3. I never had problems with Firefox until I installed version 3.6.15.

I have XP Pro. I tried installing 3.6.15 and could not open it. I did a system restore and 3.6.14 would no longer open. I tried again installing 3.6.15 and got a message that the previous version had not uninstalled properly. Tried uninstalling.
As a precaution I used MozBackup to save my bookmarks etc. and also saved a system restore point.
I then clicked Start, My Computer, drive C, Program Files and deleted the Firefox folder.
I installed 3.6.15 and it is now working fine with all my bookmarks and addons loaded automatically.

When I come in this morning, Firefox would not connect to the Internet.

When I come in this morning, Firefox would not connect to the Internet. The pop up read "Unable to connect. Firefox can't estabish a cennection to the server at...." I opened Explorer, and it worked fine. I removed and reinstalled Firefox, it still won't work. I prefer Firefox, how do I fix this?

Did you download the Windows support software when you first ran Bootcamp Assistant? Did you install the downloaded Windows support software when you first booted into Windows?

I downloaded an update and now Firefox does not connect to the Internet. Having downloaded it again and again without avail, what do I do?

Firefox has gone haywire and won't connect to the Internet. I was prompted to install one of your updates and I did. Afterwards, it would no longer connect. I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, but still I cannot connect to the Internet. My OS is Windows 7

After a Firefox upgrade/update, your firewall may not recognize that new version and will not allow access to the internet; that is your firewall doing its job. You may need to
#close Firefox (Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit)
#remove permissions for Firefox from your firewall's programs list
#restart Firefox
#allow your firewall to detect the new version and give the permissions needed by your firewall for Firefox to access the internet.

Firefox does not connect to the internet on this computer, though it does on another computer and though Internet Explorer also connects without any obvious problem.

About 1 year ago I helped to set up Firefox on my mother's computer. It worked fine until a couple of days ago. Now it no longer connects to the internet. The system is Windows XP, service pack 3. Internet Exporer does connect to the Internet on this computer. Also, I have another computer with Firefox and it works with no problem wirelessly. We tried removing Firefox and then reloading it and that did not help. We get no error messages. The internet and Firefox simply don't seem to see each other.

Sounds like a Firewall problem, seems to affect
Firefox more than other browsers.

Firefox will not connect to the internet.

When I try to connect with firefox it gives me the message that firefox was unable to connect to the server that I was attemting to connect to, and then it asks me if I would like to try agian. I still have internet explorer on my computer and it connects just fine. I need to have firefox working, or I will have to go with google chrome or something different, as internet explorer is not recomended to use on most online college applications and it is finals week.

Beginning last week, Firefox will not connect to the internet.

Firefox will not access the internet at all. This began suddenly and not immediately following a change in Firefox or my computer.

Maybe you have a malware infection.
See:
*[[/forums/contributors/707453]]
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
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.

I want to load Firefox on my computer at home, which is not connected to the internet. I want to download Firefox to my flashdrive and then add it to my computer at home. When I try to download Firefox, it won't let me change the path of where it download

I want to download Firefox on a flashdrive so I can then download it to my home computer which is not connected to the internet. When I download Firefox, it won't let me change the path and so tries to download on a public computer, which isn't allowed. The reason I want it on my home computer is because I'm creating web pages and I want to view my html pages using a variety of browsers, including Firefox.

From another computer, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/, click "Free download" button, click "Save File" button, select your flash drive in "Save as" window. "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" file will be saved in your flash drive.
You just need to insert it in your new computer and double-click on "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" from Windows Explorer and follow instructions.

My iTunes will not connect to the internet because it is tied to IE's proxy settings but IE does not work how do I change the proxy setting to FireFox

I have stopped using IE because it doesn't work, however my iTunes will not connect to the internet now because it is tied to the proxy setting in IE and now I am using FireFox, so, how do I get iTunes to see FireFox as my web browser.

i am having the same problem, i stopped using IE and installed firefox , only now my itunes store won't connect to the internet.

Can not connect to the internet. This is a new problem since I have been using firefox for years.

I can not connect to the internet. I called mediacom due to the problem and they connected me to internet explorer. They indicated I should contact you for help in connecting to the internet. It appears firefox has made some kind of change since last night since I was using firefox for my internet connection last night. Something has changed. Your help will be appreciated.

The only way that file opens thru IE8 for me ''(but not actually in IE8)'' is by using the Zip Utility (then IE closes) that is in WinXP and then opening the two image files in the Windows Fax and Picture Viewer.
I think Firefox is trying to display that file because the MIME-type is for '''''text/plain''''' instead of the appropriate MIME-type of '''application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml''' or '''application/vnd.google-earth.kmz'''
That is something that needs to be configured in the server that is hosting that file type. Sorry, I don't know how that can be fixed. The one support person here that might know lives in Europe ''(I believe)'', so you might need to wait for an answer.

I use firefox as my web browser not internet explorer and for some reason itunes says i am not connected to the internet when i am connected.

i use firefox as my internet browser. when i go to itunes to download music it says i am not connected to the internet when actualy i am. what am i doing wrong?

Firefox is a web browser not a homepage.
It sounds like you you have the old www.google.com/firefox/ start page that used to be the default homepage in Firefox before Firefox 4.0 sometime. It is not being maintained by Google anymore so either ignore the message or while in Firefox go to Tools->Options->General->Homepage section and change your homepage.
