Firefox is not connecting to internet even though proxy/firewall are off and internet connection is fine

I was still able to use the internet on my laptop through Firefox until for whatever reason it just stopped working. The page just says "unable to connect" and I tried doing all that it says, even waitingfor about 5 hours now to try to use it again. My network connection is working as I am able to skype with my sister and is currently uing Internet Explorer to type this. I also tried turning off both the proxy and firewall to see if anything would work. Nothing happened.

Firewalls don't turn off when you turn the user interface off. You need to figure out how to allow Firefox thru your Firewall.
Locate your Firewall here, and follow the instructions. <br />

    when I get a message my iphone 4s only vibrates even though all sounds are on and when someone calls the sound works perfectly normal.

    Try a reset. To reset the iPhone, press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the slide to power off prompt). If that doesn't work, perform a Restore via iTunes (from backup).

    I installed a security program called Identity Finder whick requires a master password for Firefox on my laptop, which I like. However, even though my settings are to "Show my windows and tabs from last time," I have to manually add each link in a new tab each time. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Pure speculation, but maybe that Identity Finder program is deleting your browsing history which is how Firefox restores tabs and windows from the previous session. Check with technical support for that program or look at the manual.

  • I need to update Firefox, but it keeps saying that Firefox needs to be closed first (even though all windows are closed). I cannot install or remove Firefox files due to this problem.

    Firefox was unable to open google, and I saw there was an update for that problem, but I am unable to install the update (or any update for that matter) as well as removing Firefox. Every time I try to do so, I get a message that I must close Firefox first (even though there are no windows open). I checked applications to be sure, and it does not appear Firefox is running when this happens.

    Hi kshikuma. This happens to me sometimes, as well.
    To solve this issue, open the Windows Task Manager by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del.
    Go to the "Processes" tab and see if a process named "firefox.exe" or "plugin-container.exe" is opened. Close any and all such processes by right-clicking them and selecting "End Process".

  • Apple tv my tv programmes are not playing in widescreen even though rented movies are. Aditionally my photos on my iPhone 4 are also shown only in the middle of the screen? Why are not all films/programmes / photos filling the whole screen?

    Just purchased Apple TV 2 &amp; music videos purchased and films rented from iTunes play in 16:9 ratio and fill my 6 year old Samsung TV screen completely. However my photos and videos played by AirPlay play in the centre of the screen along with TV series purchased and played from iTunes. Why are not all played media filling the TV screen even though they are playing in 16:9 on the TV?

    if the original material is not in widescreen appletv will not play it in widescreen
    if it did it would mean that it had to cut off some of the image

    That doesn't mean that you have updates.
    Not sure how that app works, - normally means you have a notification for that app - what happen when you go into the app?
    If you had update it would be a red number for the app store icon

  • I am getting iMessage "not delivered" error message even though my iMessages are going through. how do I fix?

    I am using iOS 7.0.4 and recently when using iMessage, I am getting undeliverable error messages whenever I send an iMessage. This occurs regardless of whether I'm using my iPhone, iPad or MacBook. The thing is, the messages are still going through. The attached screenshot was taken from a friends device who is getting the same messages and obviously receiving them.

    Yep, same boat... And while I used to get messages simultaneously on my iPad and iPhone, it seems my iPhone is the only one receiving and it's not syncing convos like it was. 
    The undeliverable thing is HUGE though and driving my Apple family crazy!!
    Any news on when we can expect an update to fix it?

  • Firefox isn't saving my history, even though privacy settings are set to remember history.

    Firefox isn't saving my history. I'm not in private browsing mode and remember history is selected under the privacy settings. This only started after I updated to the latest version. All pre-update history is lost, too.

  • Incoming email will not format in html even though all settings are correct

    I have Windows Vista operating system. Our IT guy recently updated my Thunderbird version to 31.5.0.5531 from a very old version. I have tried all suggestions from forums about settings for HTML viewing. At this point, I don't even get the option of reading an email in HTML. I forward a lot of messages to my coworkers, and I can't do that any more. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would also gladly go back to an earlier version.
    Thanks Cindy

    You ask about HTML, but most of your settings are about remote content. Is it images that are causing grief or HTML?

  • RAID 1 comes up degraded after reboot, even though all components are new and no data is on the drives. . help!

    Hi there, I'm trying to build a RAID1 (mirrored) from 2 identical drives in an external 2 bay enclosure. I'm able to build the RAID set, and it ends up having an online status when I'm finished. I'm also able to copy data to the new RAID and work on it.  However when I restart my computer the next day, the RAID comes up as degraded and automatically starts the (9 hour!) rebuild process, even if there is no data on the RAID (I've destroyed and recreated the RAID several times).  I've already erased both drives with the zero out option to map out any possible bad blocks, and I've also checked the connections in the enclosure and reseated the drives, although they mount just fine as individual disks.  I'm kind of at a loss here.  Any advice or experience with a similar issue?  The drives and enclosure are all brand new (I know not a guarantee, but it's a bit early for work related failure as they've not been in use for more than a week.)  I'm running 10.6.8 on a 17" Laptop 2.66gHz Quad core with 8gig of RAM.  Enclosure is connected through USB 2.0.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

  • 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.

  • Firefox would not connect after upgrade. Did system restore (XP) and not firefox wont even start

    Firefox would not connect after upgrade from verion 6 to version 7. Did system restore (XP) and now firefox wont even start

    Sometimes Firefox will hang during startup or shutdown, and still be running invisibly in the background. Usually in that case, you need to "kill" it either by restarting Windows or using the Windows Task Manager. It sounds as though you are familiar with opening the Processes tab, finding firefox.exe, and using End Process.
    If you use an advanced firewall or other security software that tracks which programs are permitted to use the internet, please see these articles:
    * [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]
    * [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]]
    A couple of other suggestions:
    (1) Can you start Firefox in its Safe Mode? Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. You should get a two-button dialog. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset). Any difference?
    (2) In case your regular software missed something that is interfering with Firefox, try the scanning and clean-up tools listed in this article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]

  • When wireless connection lost during surfing, firefox will not access the internet after connection is restored.

    While surfing the net on my laptop (windows vista home premium, all updates current), if the wireless internet connection is lost while a page is loading, firefox will NOT connect to any websites at all when the connection is restored. Also, if I try to shut down firefox, it will appear to close, but if I try to re-start it again, it will tell me "firefox is already running", even though it's not. I try to go to windows file manager and shut down firefox.exe manually, but even with that it will not shut down, it's like it's stuck in some sort of "loop". The only way to recocile it is to completely re-boot the system, which takes forever, because firefox.exe doesn't want to shut down even in re-boot.
