Firefox goes off line and cannot search the web

I use Firefox to run facebook and play Kingdoms of Camelot. i have a number of user scripts downloaded which enable KOC to run when I am at work or sleeping. However most morning when i get up i get the message that Firefox has gone off line and cannot browse the web. I have checked my internet settings and i do not have have power save settings set etc. Also I have left Google chrome running all night as well and I have no problems. It only occurs with Firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* 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 the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Did you try File > Work Offline?
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false.
Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.
Name: network.manage-offline-status
Value: false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

TS3276 All accounts keep going off line, quitting Mail fixes the issue

All accounts keep going off line, quitting Mail fixes the issue.
I have 3 Gmail, 1 hotmail and a yahoo. Al go off line with a little alert symbol next to them.
If I select take all accounts on line nothing happens.
Email delivery stops.
To fix this, I quit Mail and re launch it. That fixes it.
It's realy annoying.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem - it started when I upgraded to OS X 10.8
I thought subsequent releases may help, but I'm now on 10.8.2 and no joy.

My imac mail keeps going off line and can't send out emails even when it when it comes back on line for a short while

Need help in getting rid of this annoying pop up problem. All my Inbox keeps going off line. Comes back very intermitently.

That can't be it if it is working intermitently.
Actually, more often than not, this is caused by duplicate entries in either Mail's Outgoing SMTP servers, or in Keychain.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it/them, or delete it/them and start over.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

My New Canon MX920 goes off line and I have to turn it reboot it all the time.

My Canon MX920 new printer has to be turned on and off daily and I still have difficulty connecting and printing. In addtion, when I want to load new ribbons the ribbon holder goes back and forth for about ten times before it stops and then it doesn't even stop in a position so that I can load the ribbon. I loved my last Canon-same version older model to this but hate this one. Please help.

Hello cblondell,
To ensure the most accurate information is provided, please let us know the version of Windows or Mac in use, as well as how the printer is connected (USB or wireless).

FF3.6.12 goes off line often when searching

When searching on line, FF posts "working off line" )or something similar) and I have to go to file and click on working off line which is
clicked.

Thanks very much! The "Reset Printing" command did the job. Reminds of the magic of PROM clearing in olden times. The Apple support article leaves out one final detail here: after reset, you have to re-select the printer in the setup utility (it seems at first that you may need to reinstall it - not so.)
This is one of the first "Cosmic Duh!" events I've had printing with OSX, hopefully there will not be many more. It's uncomfortably like working with Windows! Any idea why this happened in the first place?
By the way, I did download the Printer Setup Repair (5.1.1) utility from Fixamac, but this didn't clear the problem. (Wasn't your eyes, I didn't mention it earlier.)
Finally, the printer is accessed at a fixed IP address - first three of the router address numbers plus a high number (180s to 190s) in the fourth place. Again, I don't use DHCP because Windows computers can lose track of the IP address if it gets reassigned after a restart, and many addresses will never be used for anything else in such a small network.

Well I am in my first year in college and am finally looking to get a macbook that I have always wanted. But I dont know what one to get. Ill be using it for school work, music and pictures, searching the web and traveling abroad.

I have a lot of pictures and i know I am going to be getting an external hardrive. But i am stuck between the 13 in new macbook air and the 15 in retina macbook. battery life is important but i want it to be really fast and just like a powerhorse. I could use all the input I could get. I will be studying abraod to and i want something that will be good to use over there and still be fast. Thanks guys all imput needed!

Goodness me, a month? That's crazy! I'd say wait it
out and get your free adapter or battery (though I'm
bitter I just barely missed the free nano promotion
too).
I am expressing interest in getting that free battery, but I really don't need an extra adapter because I still have the original one from my first MacBook.
Had you mailed your MacBook in for just the random
shutdown issue? It seems bizarre that it has taken so
long, because I sent mine in for the same issue and
it took two weeks total turn around. Also, did they
give you any reason as to why it will take so long to
ship out your replacement?
My MacBook was initially sent in just for the random shutdown issue, but then I called them while it was getting repaired to request the new plastic, since that was becoming a public issue. I think the logic board was replaced by two weeks into the repair, but then it had to wait longer for plastic. When all of that was replaced, it failed the final testing and was going to take longer, but they offered a replacement.
I think my replacement is taking so long because it is a custom build (so that took about 3 business days) and then estimated shipping is always one week, so since yesterday it has been waiting to be shipped.
ARGH.

HT4883 Help - I am in India running OSX10.8 and cannot access the web as y datacard requires Java

I just arrived in India. My internet access is by datacard as I am in a rural area. The datacard requests Java runtime 6. I downnloaded it from the net on another computer but cannot install it as it is a version that requires an earlier operating system. It does not seem there is a download for OSX 10.8. If anyone has any ideas about how I can install Java onto Mountain Lion without being connected to the net please help. I already tried to access it via Terminal but it just says not found.
thanks for your help.

Where?

When Firefox updated, my dad could no longer use the browser as it kept saying that is it working off line and to uncheck that option. Where do we find the option to uncheck?

My 82 year old dad downloaded your latest update and he installed it. He used default installation as he does not know how to do custom. When he started up Firefox, it came up with the dialogue that Firefox is off line and that he was suppose to uncheck work off line Box. i looked through my Firefox and I cannot figure out where that box is. He is 150 miles away from me so I can't really look at his computer.

Use "Alt" key to show menu bar temporarily the on the File menu uncheck "work offline".
You don't always get a message that tells you that you are off-line so even though I hardly ever need it I do install the following because of it's connected/disconnected icons
* '''Work Offline''' :: Add-ons for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/work-offline/
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

Firefox start page no longer opens first: "iminent search the web" opens and I can't get rid of it.

IMBooster, also known as Iminent, and "Iminent Search the Web", has taken over my start-up page. I have tried everything to delete and uninstall all aspects of this unwanted application. It no longer appears anywhere in my computer, but it still opens my Firefox page instead of Google.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

IE keeps going "Off Line"

IE keeps going "Off Line" and asking to connect.or attempting to go to "WirelessManagerRasConnection". This happens when connected to 80211 at office and at home as well as when connected to ATT wireless wan. My other toshiba laptop never has any problem staying connected to eiterh of the 80211 networks (it does not have an ATT card).
This is constant and unberable, please help,

If you go to Internet Options > Connections are there any DFU connections listed? Do you have "Do not select connection" selected?
You might have to use you imagination regarding the translations as I don't have an English system at hand, but hopefully you'll see what I mean.

You are not addressing Apple here. If you have a problem, describe it and someone might be able to help. Just to be sure, the wi-fi on the phone will go off after the phone goes into sleep mode unless it is actively being used. This is a battery saving measure. If you are actively using the internet, and the phone is still awake, then the wi-fi should remain connected.
What troubleshooting steps have you tried.

I use the older style firefox and cannot get the password manager to remember one of my passwords, how do I do this

I use the older style Firefox browser and cannot get the password manager to remember one of my main site's password. how can I do this?

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

To fix the freezing when sleeping problem go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'Computer Sleep' to 'Never'. It seems there is a problem for some with Bluetooth failing to wake after sleep. This fixes it 100% for me and many others on here, until Apple issue a software update to address it.
Not sure what to suggest on the internet problem. I assume you are connected and receive and send emails OK.
Edit: To try to troubleshoot the internet issue maybe try turning the Firewall off: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall tab.
