Firefox for XP proxy is blocking net access for other programs like Warcraft

Was surfing web & had a AVG warning come up for a bad site. Followed on-screen directions. Ran both AVG & Malwarebytes Anti-malware & cleaned up system. Since then when I try to use the Curse.com client or World of Warcraft, I get a message that the Firefox proxy isn't compatible with these programs. I did not set a proxy (that I know of) unless it was done during the AVG or Malwarebytes setup. I have rebooted, shut down & restarted router - no luck. If I configure FF to not use a proxy, I can surf, download apps & repair exe files but can't load them due to same error. If I set FF to automatically select proxy, I can't connect at all. I uninstalled both AVG & Malwarebytes & turned off XP firewall. Still no luck. Got the MS Fixit thing for proxies, can't run it due to same error. The Curse client was corrupt, removed & downloaded new can't run it due to same error & the WoW repair exe is the same way. XP firewall is back on.

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

On my MacBook Pro, sometimes when I click to close tabs in Safari the button will not work. I have to click on some other part of the screen and then it will. This happens in other programs like Word/Excel for changing font, etc. Solution/Suggestions?

Since the last update I have been unable to print from Firefox. No problem printing from Safari or any other program. I've seen a few responses to this problem but only to people running Windows. I'm on a Mac running v. 10.5.8

Also when I click on the link in my email to activate my account (in the hopes that a solve will be emailed to me) I get this message -
"Something is wrong
We could not activate your account. Please make sure that you have clicked the correct link in your email or typed in the correct address."
Same message if I cut and paste the link.

How to block internet access for RDS and RemoteApp users?

Hi everyone,
This question might partially belong to security forum but I think anyone using RDS services comes across this. I would like to TOTALLY block all internet access including "updates" to any software, windows updates, anti-virus updates, TCP, UDP,
or ANY other protocol out of the server. I would like to only allow traffic both ways for established traffic (e.g. accessing the remote apps).
How can I achieve this without involving a third party firewall software?
Thanks

In our visitor center, we setup a computer with fake proxy server and add our website to the exception so that the visitors access our website only and no other website. If this RDS is for internal use only, you may disable default gateway. This link may
give you more options.

Firefox stops responding when I try to access anything other than the home page; even after reseting and reinstalling it.

I have tried resting Firefox and even sacrificed all my data (bookmarks, add-ons, saved passwords, the whole shebang) for a clean installation. Firefox Stared hanging and doing the "(Not Responding)" thing with a whited-out window. Thus force me to force close Firefox.
This happened as soon as I updated my computer (running Windows 7) and the Task manager is show high usage of processes. All my other browsers work (Chrome, Safari, and even the god forsaken IE) don't hang when trying to leave the home page, browse fine, and close and reopen perfectly.
Needless to say, I'm annoyed with this development.

Did you try the minimize memory usage. If not then try it by following method:
- On your navigation bar of Firefox write about:memory
- Click on the button "Minimize memory usage"
Hope it will work!
</blockquote>
Unfortunately, I can't even use the navigation bar without triggering the high process usage thing. So this is not an option.
''cor-el [[#answer-689165|said]]''
<blockquote>
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Tried this stuff as well. Turned Norton off and it didn't work. Restarted my computer with Norton off, still didn't work. And Firefox didn't wok after I turned Norton back on. Safe mode also doesn't work.

How to restrict the access of "InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx" and "InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx" pages for some users and allow the access for some users?

I have a requirement to restrict the access of "InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx" and "InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx" pages for some of the users and allow the access for some of the users.
I have applied the below code on the web.config file but this modification impacting only on the web application level not on the site collection and sub site level.
<location path="_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <deny users="*" />
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
</location>
<location path="_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <deny users="*" />
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
</location>
When I tried the access on
:<portno>/sites/<scname>/_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx">http://<servername>:<portno>/sites/<scname>/_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx page allowed the access for all users.
Please suggest the possible solution to restrict the access of "InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx" and "InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx" pages on SharePoint2013.
Thanks

You can't do it from OOTB.
_layout folder is accessible to the users if they have read access in any of the site even subsite.
You can modify *.aspx file, add your custom control which will check user.

Firefox 3.6 doesn't open links clicked from other programs (IM, etc.,)

Whenever I try to open a link from either my IM or an IRC program like mIRC it won't open in firefox. I have to copy and paste the link.

I now have FireFox 32.0.2 no joy. I have loaded ThunderBrowse which took care of Thunderbird but still can't load links from other programs. I fixed this before (other backups, I crashed my windows C drive and have been trying to restore), but can't remember how. I think it required reloading IE (I had deleted IE on my latest restore), but I have now done that with no joy.
When I click on a link from another program, nothing happens, and when I right click and am offered "open in browser" nothing happens, and when offered " copy browser link" it doesn't copy.
I tried resetting FireFox, no joy.
Noticed control panel "set program access" doesn't hold, always goes back to custom, and defaults to "uses default browser"!
Please help!

Firefox remains as the topmost screen when I open other programs, so I can't see them unless I shrink Firefox. How to fix?

Above says it all--I would like the program I click on from the tray to BE ON TOP. This problem doesn't happen with other browsers. Windows 7 professional.

Please upgrade to Firefox 36.0.1
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Airport Extreme blocking remote access for my NAS?

Having spent over 2 hours on the phone to both LG and Apple Care I still can't get my remote access working for my NAS. I don't know much about networks, but I am slowly having to learn! Apple care seem to think that the AEBS might not be compatible?? I've tried lots of forums, lots of google self help and exhausted the customer service options - you're probably thinking I should give up. Well this is my last chance saloon - any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is my set up:
NAS: LG N2R1DD2 2 Bay DVD Network Attached Storage 2 TB
AEBS: MB763LL/A (A1301)
ISP: Virgin cable
Everything else on the NAS works a treat, it's just the remote access that is the problem. LG spent a long time on the phone looking into this and said that it is the router. I've checked with Virgin and they confirm they do not block any ports, so am pretty sure issue is with router. I've set up the NAS correctly to enable DDNS and UPnP, which it reports as successful and working correctly. I've enabled NAT port forwarding on the router, and tried to manually open up port 80.
Any thoughts would be most welcome.
Thanks.

I am not sure but I think you skipped a step. Look around for the use of consolidate library function.
I did the same thing and after I pointed to the right drive on the Airport Disk It worked flawlessly allowing me to stream to my powerbook from all over the house.
Unfortunately, once I went to bed and laptop and MyBook Pro went to sleep, I started havong problems.
Looks like this function of Airport n is still very Alpha.
Hope that helps

Win 7 PC freeze and block network access for other PC on same switch during windows update from WSUS

Hello,
It's been a problem for me for a long time now, but the last time (today) I found 3 PC on 2 different switches that block all the network on this 2 switches during the update.
I have a Domain with 80 PC with Win 7 (32&64bit) that takes the updates from the WSUS server that is configured on a Win2k8 r2. The system works well from 2 years from now but sometimes cause this errors that make me look like a dummy in front of angry
employees. If one of the PC get freeze , it will cause lost of connection on all the PC on same switch, and i have to find the blocked PC, remove from network, restart switch and hope that they will came back on.
Does anyone experienced this problem? Any help will be appreciated
Thank you!
List of updates for today below

Hi
Thanks for your response, yes I understand that the result is a Broadcast Storm and yes I have the cheapest switch on market :/.
The interest fact is that on one PC, I changed everything and keep only the old HDD and on last updates yesterday it was one of the blocked one too. So this make
me doubt that is something wrong in software on that PC. I don't have any third-part programs except browsers and all have Genuine Win7
The only investigation remained is what happens during the update process?
Is WSUS involved in something?
And another thing is the fact that some of the PC are cloned, but I have carefully changed the SID
Thank you for your support

Net access for wii and iPhone via iMac - help!

If I've got it right my fairly new imac flat panel has a built-in Airport networking card that actually allows me to connect my wii and iphone to the internet without a separate router. I actually managed to set up the network with the wii but later lost the connection. I just got an iphone so I've been trying to get the wifi access going going again using the standard mac os utilities but I just can't figure it out and I can't find any useful guidance. Suggestions? Thanks.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Thanks for posting back.
Does the Wii only need Port 80 to be open on the Firewall or does it use other ports also?
Thanks

Using Firefox 9.0.1 my Yahoo toolbar calendar link keeps asking for my password. I can access all other Yahoo content from that toolbar except the calendar. Any suggestions?

I can access this calendar by using IE so what can I do? I reloaded the Yahoo toolbar and still have a problem.

Hi,
You can check if there's a conflict with another installed extension by starting in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] and just enabling the Yahoo toolbar.

What is the reason for a slow Firefox on a new powerful laptop? (with no other programs running and with no infection of viruses or adwares)

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/914529''
With about 1500 bookmarks and just 4 active Firefox extensions on my new laptop (Dell XPS L502, Core i7, 6GB of RAM, Win7 64-bit Ultimate) my Firefox boots up and works real slow. by slow I mean it boots up in 15 seconds; and with 3 tabs open when I switch tabs, it takes 5 seconds to switch to the new tab some of the times!). Internet Explorer and Chrome work much faster and I think this is not normal for Firefox. what can be the problem?
Can this be because of my VGA card? my system has 2 VGA's; the 2GB GT540M Nvidia graphic card which is not active by default for Firefox and an Intel on-board VGA which is working by default for normal usages like browsing.
I do not think this is a virus or anything, I have Updated malware and virus protection; and my RAM and CPU are not more than 25% loaded when running Firefox.

Firefox says my proxy server is refusing connections, but other browsers are working.

I was using Firefox one day when the following message was shown: "The proxy server is refusing connections
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
* Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
* Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
working."
I checked with my network administrator and he said that everthing was fine. I started using Internet Explorer and everything is working. I don't think this is a problem with my server.

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

Good Evening.
I would like to know the following .....GL codes have been blocked for posting for a particular company code.
