Firefox has stopped loading web pages. I says the the page is "done" but it is still blank.

I had to contact you with Google Chrome because I can't open any pages with Firefox.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You can also try to repair the places database with this extension:

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Since a week or 2 Firefox has been loading web pages very slow. Or it does load them but it takes a good 3 seconds before i can scroll or enter anything.

This morning also it froze up for a good 10 seconds and then it loaded the web pages again. Especially when i am browsing on a forum and return to main page or something. It just takes ages before i can select anything. It loads somewhat slower also but the part of it that i cannot select anything or scroll down before it stops thinking.

Firefox Randomly stops loading web pages properly until restart.

So i want to first say that iv been a long time firefox user, however a few firefox builds ago i started having this issue where randomly when clicking a link or typing a page into the url and attempting to load, the browser would just load... and load.... and load until i exited browser and reclicked the link or retyped it into the url where it would then proceed to practically instantly load like normal.
First i thought i might have a virus, however cleaning my PC with 0 results found did not stop this issue, rebuilding 3 new PC's for my home also did not stop this issue because its currently happening on all of my computers in the home. I then thought maybe it was my internet however a few friends iv asked who also use firefox experience the same issue. Unfortunately i switched to another browser to stop the problem but when i heard there was a new firefox update i came back. However the problem still persist today as of 6/8/14.
If anyone knows a fix please let me know so i don't have to switch to a different browser again.
So basically when it loads extremely slow all i have to do is literally exit browser and reopen the exact same link and it works flawlessly, until the issue pops up again when clicking on another link however many minutes later.
I would also like to note (if it helps at all) that when it decides to start this loading bug error, one particular webpage seems to be exempt from it "Bing.com" no matter if im having this issue bing loads instantly every single time regardless, i dont use bing so i have no clue why this website does not have the same issues as every other website. (bing works for every PC as well in my home during this issue)
Thanks for the help in advance.

I had a recent problem which was making the Firefox behaving in a similar way. In my case, the culprit was a plugin which was displaying some info about the website I was visiting (IP, location, domain info, etc). So, I suggest that you'd review all the plugins which:
* Can interfere with the communication between your computer and the server
* Would perform additional requests to other servers, with the purpose of acquiring info, whenever you visit a page.
You can deactivate one/few plugins at a time and check, however a quick way to see if the issue are caused by one of them is to use Help -> Restart with addons disabled and select the Safe Mode, which will deactivate all the plugins until the next Firefox restart.

My mail has stopped receiving anything and is saying the IMAP server username and password is wrong but I haven't logged out or changed anything?

My mail (hotmail) has stopped receiving emails and keeps saying the IMAX server username and password is wrong when I haven't changed anything?

Hello ,Marshyy96
That is not good, lets see if we can get your email back up and running again. Take a look at the article below to go over the settings to just make sure nothing is out of the ordinary. You may end up needing to remove the email account and add it back in.

Firefox will not load web page (I also have Internet Explorer 8 installed).

Fire Fox will not load web pages. It may have something to do with proxy settings but I have reset this to Auto-Detect which is where it has always been in the past but still nothing. Something has reset my proxy settings in the past which caused a similar problem but doesn't seem to be the issue this time. I have Internet Explorer 8.0 installed on computer right now and it seems to work.

After looking into this further I checked firewall settings in Panda A.V. For Firefox they were set to Custom settings which effectively disabled it. I changed setting to Outbound only like Internet Explorer and other programs and Firefox seems to work fine now. Hope this helps others who have experienced this problem. I have teenage children who use computer a lot (Face Book, etc.) so the root of the problem may have been Malware, Adware, or something else but hopefully Panda has taken care of this.

Serious delay in loading web pages, not network, but safari issue

After my last software update, I am experiencing delays in loading web pages, 30sec-minutes on safari. This occurs rather frequently, I'd say about 20%-30% of the times I visit certain web pages.
One example web location I noticed this happening is (but its not the only one):
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/caqc0363
Once I visit this page, sometime it loads fine, other times it takes forever (the load indicator stays on in the tab). Also, once the delay occurs, opening up new widows or new tabs to ANY other address are also delayed. It seem like all of safari is stuck waiting for responses. (safari itself is still running ok, it is responsive and there is NO spinning wheel of death).
It is not a network issue. Often while waiting for safari to load, I launch firefox, visit the same page and read, meanwhile Safri still loading, even after trying to refresh...I also do other network tasks, ssh, ftp, email with no problem.

Thanx! The numbers didn't help me anything, but your post reminded me: I found the DNS numbers that my ISP had provided that I had put in the Ethernet TCP/IP section in Network Preferences, and just copied and pasted them into my airport TCP/IP section. Worked great!

Recently Firefox has stopped loading some graphics including the home page. Is this a virus ? I have reloaded Firefox with the same result.

I have started using Chrome, Opera and even IE with no problem.

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Firefox does not load web pages but gives no error message

Hi guys,
I have been having this problem occasionaly for the past few weeks and can't remember making any changes to my computer or firefox that would have prompted it. Basically what happens is that when I try to load a web page, it says "loading..." at the top of the tab as if it is going to the page, but then nothing happens. It just says "loading..." and never goes to an error message or anything. It will stay like this for hours. I tried clearing the cache and history and it doesn't do anything. Internet explorer works perfectly so I know it's not a network connection problem. When I quit and restart firefox everything works again. It is not specific to any one site, it happens for all sites. I didn't find anything matching my problem on the help pages. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks very much,
Ben

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Firefox won't load web pages all the way, what can I do to fix this

I have this problem where firefox won't load any webpages all the way and if I try refreshing the page it shows some of the webpage but not the whole thing....and now it won't load any images either. I have tried everything that i could think of and nothing works. I can't watch anything on youtube or go on facebook and google won't work either.

There seems to be something of a pattern in that those are all secure sites (HTTPS address). Have you noticed any certificate errors recently that you might have solved by adding an exception, or does everything seem normal otherwise?
Here are the usual things:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

When my home page opens (iGoogle) Firefox has quit loading several pages like NY Times, etc. on the Google page. Why is this? Can it be corrected? Thanks

The question above pretty well explains the issue. The entire page just won't load, regardless of how long I wait. It seems to hang up on csi.gstatic.com

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
* Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox does not load web pages; it always says 'can't find server' on every page I try to load

Firefox 'can not find server' reply comes up on every page I try to load, including my home page. I have to retry or refresh 3-4 times before it takes.

Sounds like a proxy server issue. Go to System Preferences... > Network
Select the AirPort from the left hand side
Click on the Locations combo box and select "Automatic"
Click on Advanced
Select the AirPort tab and enter your network name
Select TCP/IP tab.
Configure IPv4 Using DHCP
Now click on Renew DHCP Lease. After a few seconds you should get an IP address (probably 192.168.x.x)
Click on Proxies tab.
Select Auto Proxy Discovery and Use Passive FTP - de-select all other options.
Click on OK and Apply, etc.

Firefox has stopped loading my yahoo start page correctly

Yesterday, my yahoo will not load properly. It is spaced out, not formatted, no graphics, etc. I can get to my mail by clicking through the word Mail but cannot read the front page. Have used FF for months with no problem. Thanks.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://my.yahoo.com

I had this same problem too. It was just Yahoo that wouldn't load right, and just on firefox. How many people are running Ad Block? I fixed the problem on mine by going to Tools > AdBlock Plus Preferences. Then I removed all the custom filters. (I didn't want to go through them all to see which one would fix it.) Now my page loads just like it's supposed to. Hopefully this will help somebody else.

Firefox will lot load web pages after upgrading to version 3.6.6

After loading 3.6.6 I can no longer access the internet. Norton Internet Security 2010 has quarantined 3 Firefox files: nssdbm3.dll, freebl3.dll, softokn3.dll
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.6. Firefox worked fine prior to upgrade. After upgrade, Norton told me there was a security incident and I needed to reboot. I have not been able to use Firefox since rebooting.

Thanks for the reply. It doesn't have to process the php, it just has to show the HTML content. It did that just fine before the last upgrade but won't now.
I've seen that page you referenced: http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions.
It doesn't help. The things it says to look for aren't there for me, specifically:
browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes
plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types
I followed the rest of the instructions but it didn't help.
I did get it to quit opening tabs, instead it prompts me what it should do with the file every time now. What it should do, and used to do, is open the php page and display the HTML content.
Any other ideas?

Safari stops loading web pages

Issue:
Type web address into address bar
select enter
progress bar appears, but stops part way (estimate about 10%, judging how far the blue line moves)
after a period, the progress bar disappears and a white page is displayed
For pages that are already open, content stops refreshing
The issue is only temporarily resolved by restarting the machine.
The issue appeared today (22nd) (upgraded to to 10.10 on 19th).
Network connection works as expected as do other browsers, FireFox, Chrome, Opera.
Environment:
OS X 10.10 (14A389)
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
3 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris 1536 MB

Hi ..
Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions, issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Firefox has stopped loading web pages. I says the the page is "done" but it is still blank.
