Firefox is unable to load any new websites

Every now and then after running normally for some time Firefox is unable to load any new websites. Instead I get the message "Verbinden..." (I use the German version of firefox). Internet Explorer works as usual when this happens. If I then close firefox I am unable to restart because the Firefox process is still running. Instead I have to stop Firefox running in Task Manager and then restart firefox. It usually works ok for while until it crashes again.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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.

Firefox is unable to load any webpage in the security section of the Microsoft website.

Regardless of whether I try to access the page from Google or from another page on the Microsoft website, the browser repeatedly flips without end between "connecting" to and "loading" the page. Is there some Firefox or firewall setting I should change? The security pages are accessible through Chrome and IE.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

My address bar--in fact, my entire toolbar--has diappeared! I can't enter any new websites, or manage anything on familiar websites...no buttons,no control!

To reiterate, my address bar and my entire toolbar have disappeared. I cannot enter any new websites, and I cannot control anything on the websites that I can enter, because my buttons are gone. The only websites I can access are the ones already located in the easy access windows on the 'New Tab' page. I have nowhere to write a new URL. This effectively renders my Firefox browser nearly useless! This must have been caused by a recent update. I can't imagine any other cause of the problem. I'd appreciate any assistance. I've been using Firefox for years; I'd like to continue doing so. Thanks for your time.

Unable to make any new creation.

Hi All,
I m unable to make any new creation in ecc6.0 whether its on se38 or se80. I can create tables on se11 and can access all other tcode. I even can't display any of the program or fm etc.. though i can delete the created program.
When i make request to change or create a old or new program, the request keeps on runnung. In SM59 i checked for dumps it displays CALL_FUNCTION_REMOTE_ERROR with short text "password logon no longer possible_ too many failed attempts".
Kindly help
Ashish

Hi,
This is may be issue in RFC user. Check configuration from SM59. Here you will get the RFC user name. If this is not user specific, then you can check if the same problem coming other user. If yes then RFC user's password need to be reset and you need to config the same through sm59.
Thanks

hi,
try repairing/reinstalling Flash from add/remove programs.

In Firefox, I'm unable to load any website using cloudflare but the same sites load fine in Safari.

Whenever I try to load any website using cloudflare in Firefox, I get this error message:
"Error 1000 DNS points to prohibited IP. You've requested a page on a website that is on the CloudFlare network. Unfortunately, it is resolving to an IP address that is creating a conflict within CloudFlare's system."
But the same sites load up fine with no problems in Safari. I've tried everything suggested in related support pages - cleared cache (my browser's set to do that on close anyway), cleared cookies, set to no proxy, disabled add-ons, etc. Nothing worked!
EDIT: Just noticed that 1 cloudflare page was able to load after disabling the add-on called "Modify Headers" v7.1.1 However, I don't know if this will work for all cloud flare sites. Unfortunately, I did not keep a list of sites that didn't load, so I can't test by loading them now.

This is the dump from my ModifyHeaders settings:

After updating firefox today to 6.0, firefox is unable to load multiple tabs at the same time. When I try, firefox refuses to load any pages, and instead is stuck trying to connect to each page.

After I updated firefox to 6.0 today firefox has developed a problem loading multiple tabs. When I try to load 10+ tabs, either at the same time or by opening each tab separately, each tab is stuck trying to connect to the desired page. This continues if I close all the tabs and try to load a single page, the single page is unable to get pass connecting. In order to load a new page when this situation arises I must close down firefox and start again, and the program has no history of the previous session.

Unable to load flash-based website in any browser

I'm on Windows XP SP2 with the latest flashplayer installed
(9,0,47,0). For some reason I can no longer get beatport.com to
load in any web browser on my computer, i.e. Firefox, IE, or even
Netscape. The website partially loads, leaving me with just the
"green frames" and then stops. I can access this website just fine
from my friend's computer, also Windows XP.
Does anyone have any ideas of what's going on???

I didn't think reinstalling was gonna do me any good except for getting rid of every single thing I have ever installed since getting this MBP. I'm thinking it has to be something that is on my computer causing this, especially since it only affects my ability to get to this one site and I only started seeing this problem yesterday.
So, I went ahead and disabled all my Chrome extensions and I don't have any Safari extensions at all. That didn't fix my issue.
I've been trying to run Sophos on here, thinking that maybe I've got a Trojan or some kind of malware, but it never seems to finish a full scan of my hard drive. That "Plugin" that I mentioned above has me very suspicious, except that whatever that is, it's been on my computer since basically when I first got it. Maybe it's malicious, or maybe it's just a poorly named piece of software. In any case, it got updated last night around 11pm, about the same time I noticed my problem. After trying everything I have, it's hard for me to overlook that as coincidence.
But, where do I go to gain more information about what that could be? I should mention that this MBP is basically my first Apple computer. I've been a PC guy (still am mostly) forever, but I finally dove in and got a Mac to start iOS development. So I'm sure there are ways to get more information than I am currently aware of.
Also, apologies if I posted this in the wrong forum.

Firefox unable to load one specific website; seems to happen on other browsers too

I am unable to access the attached website - if I do access it - it is very slow and then I get an error msg (site busy etc);
have cleared cookies etc, cleared browser history as instructed on the help question about "error loading a webpage"

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

I downloaded Firefox 5.0, hated it and went back to previous version but now I am unable to bookmark any new sites. How do I fix this?

I can no longer bookmark any new sites. What do I need to do to correct this?

When you say previous version did you really go all the way back to Firefox 3.5.3 which was released August 200'''9''' as is listed in your More system details...
If you meant to use a Firefox 3.x release then you should at least use Firefox 3.6.18 which came out June 21. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

MAIL on my MAC does not load any new mail or delete any mail in any of my other folders

I've been having this problem for a couple of days now. Its as if MAIL just doesn't respond to anything. I can't get any New MAIL to load. And if i try to delete anything from SPAM, JUNK... and so on. They won't delete, they just show up again after deleting.
I restarted the computer, and checked all my settings as well. I also uodated the computer.
MAIL works from my iphone ans ipad. Just not MACBOOK PRO.
Any help is appreciated.
Jimmy

Drafts, ToDos (Notes), and Outbox are found normally in the Mailboxes folder but do not usually appear in the On My Mac section. As for Deleted Messages that may be a remnant from before you used an IMAP account or if you at one time configured Mailbox Behaviors in Mail preferences to keep deleted messages locally instead of on the IMAP server.

Safari won't load my new website, keeps defaulting to old website

I'm stumped. I am moving my iWeb website to another website builder. I've published my new website to the host but when I type in the correct url on this computer, it defaults to the old website, over and over. I've cleared history, cache, cookies, etc. Everything I can think of my nothing makes any difference. But, on 2 out of 3 of my other Mac's, I can see the new published website just fine. Can't see the new website on this Mac, my iPhone, or iPad.
My new website address is abc.com, and my old website from iWeb is abc.com/abc.com/home.html. For some reason iWeb added the second abc.com/home.html. I have no understanding of why. When i type in my new address www.abc.com it opens the old website, but when I hover over the address it doesn't say abc.com, it says abc.com/abc.com/home.html. Can't get rid of the second abc.com/home.html
Hope this isn't too confusing, and appreciate any help.
thanks,
donald

Linc,
Thanks for your response. I was on the phone with apple to day for 3 hours. We did many things and finally got the problem solved. Not sure which one fixed my problem, buy somehow Parallels was taking over some part of OS X and stopping me from seeing the correct URL. I got rid of Parallels for now and all my problems went away. I'll try to download it again as I need it for only one program I use. Once again thank you for your time and knowledge. It's appreciated.

I am unable to load one particular website from my pc,

i was visiting hautelook.com every day for months. just today the website will not load. all other websites load so I am terribly confused. i have reset firefox. cleared all caches and history, unplugged modem, restarted computer several times. ran security scans. Still, cant load that one website. Please help !

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Also '''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.
