Firefox goes offline while surfing the web

While i am surfing the web with firefox after a few minutes firefox goes offline.
why this happens i do not know, but until this is fixed i am going to use an other webbrowser and uninstalled firefox after many years of using firefox.
To bad.

It is possible that your security software (firewall) is blocking the connection for some reason.
Remove all rules for Firefox 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.

  • TS3274 I have iPad 1 and while surfing the web, checking facebook the scene blacks out then goes to the home screen. Why?

    While surfing the web, checking Facebook my screen goes black and the home screen comes up. What is the problem?

    The apps are crashing for some reason - maybe an app conflict, a corrupt setting, low memory ....
    try a few basic things and see if they help.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Keep swiping in the task bar to get to all of the apps. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or try this .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This may help as well. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Try again.

  • How can I watch a movie while surfing the web?

    I've been trying to figure out if there is any way to anchor the iTunes player so I can watch a movie while surfing the web. I've had no luck, Please tell me there is a way! =)

    There are two ways I do this.
    1. I set the playback in preferences to play the video in a seperate wind. Then I size the browser window so I can see both at the same time.
    2. My prefered method is to play the movie on my extra monitor I use. That way I can run it full screen while working with a full screen browser.

    They are known as pop-ups. To stop them download and install GlimmerBlocker.

  • Firefox will let me surf the web but certain sites such as facebook and eBay take too long to respond and i can not login, how can i fix this?

    The connection has timed out.
    The server at signin.ebay.com is taking too long to respond.
    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    I can still look up support on the internet but anything that would require a log on to work will not load and FF will give me this error message. This has happened for a few weeks now on and off. Now it has been 3 days of no log ons whatsoever. PLEASE HELP ME I have homework and eBay auctions ending!
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://ebay.com, http://facebook.com, http://comcast.net

    This has been going on for months for me. Time to drop Firefox & go back to IE.

  • How long should the battery last while surfing the web?

    I'm curious to know how long the battery on my Macbook should last when just surfing the web and downloading music and videos. I'm getting about 3 hours, I have a feeling it should be a lot longer. I don't have the brightness all the way up and I dim the illuminated keys.

    It really depends on your configuration and what you are doing on the web.
    If you have minimum RAM, the HDD will be accessed more often, causing heat which causes the fan to come on more often, which uses up power.
    While I watch youtube and other forms of streaming video, my fans are usually on, so my battery life is less.
    While cruising these boards and such, my battery lasts twice as long as streaming.
    3 hrs while downloading music and videos is not a bad figure.
    What you might want to do is watch a 2 hour movie and document the amount of time you get from the battery.
    Do the same while streaming a movie.
    Do some typing and or general surfing sans streaming type stuff.
    The above spans a different range of CPU and graphics usage.
    Then post back your times here. You will get a better indication of battery condition.
    Also, post back with how much RAM you have.

  • My iMac goes blank and requires rebooting while surfing the web and ads change

    I have a Early 2008 iMac refurb that occasionally locks up and the display goes blank while online and you have to reboot.  Any clues?

    Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

  • Trouble with incoming calls while surfing the web using EDGE....

    I'm aware that while I'm using EDGE to surf the net on my phone, that my calls may go to voicemail. This is fine, but when someone calls me while I'm using EDGE to surf the net, they don't even get a ring tone, or anything to let them know that the call is coming through to my phone. I've tried this myself, and all I get is 30-45 seconds of dead air, then a click that sounds like the call has been disconnected, and THEN my voicemail picks up.
    I'm concerned that the caller will think that there's a problem with my phone, instead of waiting the time it takes for the voicemail to pick up. Is there some sort of setting on my phone that I can change that will let the caller hear the rings so they know that the call is actually going through, or is this just a random glitch with my phone or the network?
    I'm guessing it's not something that can be changed, but I've got my fingers crossed. Thanks in advance!

    There is a couple things you can try on your iPhone. Beyond this you may wish to call AT&T and see if there is a setting they can look at regarding this dead error. Maybe there is a time of dead silence vs sending right to voicemail.
    Sometimes you can set a Music tone to be heard instead. But if this is used for business it would not be very professional.
    1. Settings- Toggle Airplane Mode ON for 1 min. Then turn off.
    2. Retest voicemail call to your phone
    3. Reboot iPhone, Hold Home Button down with the Sleep/Wake Button till you see the apple logo. Then let go. Now test your voicemail.
    4. Reset Network Settings, Settings-General-Reset- Reset Network Settings- Confirm, Test voicemail.
    As a last test before calling AT&T trying performing a basic call to your phone at different times of the day. See if this occurs more in the morning, afternoon, evening. Etc. Might be able to narrow it down to Busy traffic.
    Last resort again. Call AT&T have them check some settings on their end. And see if there is any small change they can do so they hear at least 1 ring tone before it hitting mail box.

  • Today I started getting pop ups while surfing the web. Never had this before. Also I noticed several words on craigslist ads are different colored.

    When I open firefox i am getting a new small browser window opening with some kind of ad (different ad each time). McAfee blocks the ad after about 10 - 15 seconds. I also noticed that while looking at ads on craigslist, a few of the words are different colors and they take you to another website when clicked on. How do I get rid of this problem?
    This just started today

    Have you got Firefox set to block popups? Look in Options > Content and see if anything is whitelisted in the exceptions.
    You can block most of the advertising stuff if you use Adblock Plus with an Easylist subscription. There is also an auxiliary addon for Adblock Plus to block more popups.
    There is a site textsrv.com that adds links to sites to redirect to other sites that you can block with Adblock Plus (if it is not already blocked) by adding that to the custom block list.

  • Using Airport Express to play music while surfing the web via netgear

    Can I play music over my airport express (airtunes), while simultaneosly surfing via a different wireless router. As it stands I have been unable to do this, because I have to set my wireless connection to one or the other. When I link up to my NETGEAR for browsing, the remote speakers in itunes become unavailable.
    Has anyone found a solution to this?

    Hi, thanks for your help. It got me reading, and here's what I figured out:
    The problem was when I originally set the profile I had my internet cable plugged into the airport express; So the set up assistant assumed that i would be using that as my internet connection. I just had to re-setup with the airport ONLY plugged into the stereo.
    Again, thanks for your help.

  • The Title Bar locks while surfing the web.

    The Title Bar on my Firefox has started to lock during surfing. This has happened on both my home and work laptops. I cannot work any Title Bar controls nor can I right click on the Taskbar button to resize the window but can still work Menu Bar controls and continue surfing. Sometimes the Title Bar returns to normal. Many times it does not. Occasionally it locks Firefox and I have to close via the Task Manager.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • No music while surfing the web

    I've had my iPod touch for less than 24 hours and I've already hit a snag.
    I set the ipod to play music in shuffle. Then I go to safari to do web browsing. At random intervals, the music playback just stops. When I go back, it's not like it paused; I have to start the song over.
    Any ideas?

    It's basically crashing (the iPod part of the Touch). Could be a conflict with the particular websites you're viewing. Some of this stuff may help:

  • I am a new user. I was told that for maximum safety while surfing the web to enable "no script." Why would I want to do this and how do you do it? Thank You..... David

    I was told by a computer security expert to select "no script" for my Mozilla Firefox browser which I just downloaded. How is this beneficial? He told me that there are programs out there {malware?} that can actually take over my computer and send out emails and that I would not even be aware of this? Does this browser help prevent this sort of thing from happening?

    For a good definition of malware with introductory information about related topics read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware and for some''' simple tips '''http://www.mozilla.org/security/#Tips_for_secure_browsing
    Firefox does have some security related features that you may use see for instance

  • Flash player--culprit for desktop crash while surfing the web?

    I can confirm what someone else posted on this forum.Flash player causes random crashes on osx.Upgrading to 9.0.20 fixes that problem.

    I am having the same problem.  I get the same message whenever I try to download something from certain game websites .  I've never had this problem before Flash 10 was installed. 
    My harddrive got a virus , I wrote zeros to the harddrive and reloaded my Windows Vista (Home Prem) and reloaded all my software.  Many of my software stated I needed a Flash Player and my mistake was when I came on Adobe's website and downloaded the Flash 10.  I wish I could remember which Adobe Flash player allowed me to enjoy the game websites I enjoyed.  Flash 10 have the Global Security Setting Panel which I wish Adobe would allow me to disable because it is my belief that this is what's stopping me from being able to use the websites I once visited.
