Firefox is unable to connect to the internet but Internet Explorer can.

My Firefox is not loading any websites. When I open Firefox, the home screen comes up (google), but if i try to navigate to any other website it says that it cannot connect. I then tried inernet explorer and it works perfectly. I tried all the options on the Firefox Help page (checking the firewall, proxy..) but it still doesnt work.

From another computer, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/, click "Free download" button, click "Save File" button, select your flash drive in "Save as" window. "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" file will be saved in your flash drive.
You just need to insert it in your new computer and double-click on "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" from Windows Explorer and follow instructions.

B50 touch: unable to connect to school wifi, but everyone else can.

Help!!! This is the first time it's happened to me. I can't connect to the wifi but everyone here at school can. I tried disabling the connection, enabling & even restored my computer to an earlier date. None of this worked!!

Hi Stephamazingg,
Thank you for the reply, I apologize for the delay in reply.
As per the query we understood that you are facing the issue with WIFI in your B50 touch laptop.
Please reinstall the WIFI drivers and check for the issue, click here for the drivers if the operating system is windows 7.
Click here for the drivers if the operating system is windows 8.1.
Check if the wireless Lan is enabled in BIOS.
Hope this helps! Do post us back for further queries.

Can you assist? Firefox is unable to connect to the internet due to computer protected by a firewall or proxy.

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.
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.

Open your firewall program. First check the settings. Make sure that the
program is set to tell you if a new program wants access to the web. Then
go to the list of programs the firewall has. Make sure that all the programs
you want to access the web are set to '''ALLOW'''. If it is set to '''AUTO''', the
firewall may not allow access.

Firefox is "unable to connect" to any site, while other broswers can

I've tried clearing my cookies and history, disabling addons/extensions and the firewall, changing/disabling proxy settings, and read several of the articles, but nothing seems to work. I was out of town for 2 days and everything was working fine when I left. Got back today and just kept getting "unable to connect" message for any website I tried to open. I tried to download chrome and opera, but the download had an error and just didn't work (chrome) and just stayed at 0% with nothing happening (opera). i'm able to get emails and get on websites via internet explorer.

Hello vtand06, did you also try a ''Clean reinstall'' ? This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

I can't access hotmail or gmail. I get the message "unable to connect to the server". However I can access both msn and google main page and not problems with other sites. Any ideas of what to do?

Cannot access hotmail or gmail, although no problems with the actual msn home page or other sites. I get the message: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at .....
== URL of affected sites ==
http://login.live.com; http://www.google.com

Hi thanks for reply.
No, not that I'm aware. How/Where can I check this?
The only think I've done recently is install a different antivirus program and uninstall the old one which had expired. Not sure if this is linked to the problem...?

I'm connected to the WLan but no WebPages can be viewed

Hi,
The wireless has stopped working on my laptop.
It will connect to several wireless networks but no web pages can be viewed and msn doesnt work.
When wired the internet works fine. The wireless is turned on.
Any ideas???
Thank you
Heather

Hi,
there are many threads in the forum about configuring wireless but you can start with this microsoft document to re-configure the wireless network:
[http://www.microsoft.com/athome/moredone/wirelesssetup.mspx]
I would also suggest you to search for "wireless configuration" on some search engines since there are many many documents out there where is described how to resolve such wireless problems.
Also it would be nice if you tell us which machine you have, which operating system is installed (Windows XP or Vista), which router you use, etc...
bye

Upgraded to 3.6.4 yesterday now cannot connect to the internet but IE still can. I have already checked its allowed on my Firewall.

I upgraded to 3.6.4 and now Firefox is 'Unable to connect' to the internet yet IE still can. I have checked that Firefox is allowed on my firewall. Any ideas please?

I have already tried removing firefox from my firewall. Even when I do that, my firewall doesn't detect firefox and prompt me to add it. And when I manually add it, it still doesn't work anyways. I've already tried the link as well, but it has been unhelpful. :/
I'm not sure if it matters, but a few weeks before this, I did download Microsoft Security Essentials.

Unable to connect to the Update Center

Using: Windows XP SP 1
I downloaded and installed NetBeans 5.5 just a few minutes ago and I'm unable to connect to the Update Center. I can connect using NetBeans 5.0.
Has anyone else run into this problems?

Ok, I was able to get NB 5.5 to connect to the Update Center after temporarily disabling Norton Internet Security. Not the ideal solution, obviously, so I'll have to figure out some kind of 'rule' to make NIS to allow NB 5.5 to connect to the Update Center.

I'm connected to the network, but still can't get online!

I use airport to connect to the internet in my home. I have a very strong signal and my computer says I'm connected to the network, but I still can't connect to the internet. It just stopped working. Running diagnostics doesn't help- it just tells me to restart the device, which I've done over and over to no avail.

Am a newbie but somethings may work here, Go to dock preferences and to network and to your airport connection window.
You have a green light signal in network status window? If it is yellow or red it is unavailable. If your connection is full of traffic, this may effect connection.
In window you may need to type in optional search domains. Your provider should tell you this no one else~ They would also walk you through your connection failures. If it is yellow and you connect to your provider's router and don't have your own router, this number may not appear in your connection information. You need to tell them their router is down so they can fix it. They may not find out if pings come back. Pings may also be cached (I am not sure but it might) so it may take them a while to find out if you don't tell them. I would call your provider. Maybe empty your preferences in your browser. You may have cookies or garbage to empty there. Use another browser.

I am unable to connect to the Web with Firefox, the firefox site displays on screen, yet I can connect on the same desktop computer to Internet explorer and Opera, what is preventing me from opening the firefox browser

I am unable to connect to the web on my desktop with Firefox 8, the program displays but will not connect to the Internet, Other browsers Internet Explorer and Opera do connect on the same machine. McAfee is not blocking it, virus checks detect no virus yet yesterday it worked perfectly

I tried what was suggested by starting in Safe Mode but the problem still exists. I am frustrated as I cannot connect to my Verizon Fios page. I can connect to the Internet with the Firefox Browser and can go to any web site except finding my Verizon Home page.

Firefox won't open/connect tp the internet. Explorer opens and connects. Windows firewall turned off. No other antivirus program running. Happened when I downloaded new Firefox update.

I had the same problem when i dl-ed a new anti-virus softward, but what I did help me reconnect Firefox again!
Here is what I did,
Go to open firefox browser-->option-->advanced-->network-->settings-->and change it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network!
It worked for you, hope it will work for you too =)!
Cheers

I am unable to connect to the internet, there is a pop-up that says "We're sorry, but the Safari browse version you are currently using dos no support the community toolbar". My computer does say that it is connected to the internet until I open Safari.

I am unable to connect to the interent. At the top of the screen my computer says that I am connected. When I open up Safari there is a pop up that say "Community Toolbar We're sorry, but the Safari browser version you are currently using does not support the community toolbar" and when the Safari page opens up it says "You are not connected to the Internet. Safari can't open the page .... because your computer isn't connected to the Internet." I have tried Network Diagnostics and tried to reset Sfari, empty Cache as well as deleted all of my interent history. I am unable to use Time Machine because I never set it up. If someone knows how to help I would very much appreciate it!!

Some instructions for removing Community Toolbar are available in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15868085#15868085

Unable to receive internet connection over wifi connection. Shows that I am connected to the network, but do not have internet access. Checked my firewall and turned it off. What else am I missing or should be doing differently?

You might want to try resetting your router and your modem - just unplug the cords, leave them unplugged for about 3-5 minutes and then replug the modem and then the router in that order.
This may or may not correct your problem - call back if it doesn't.
