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

  • 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.

  • Unable to load any webpages....

What else could I possibly do ?

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you will need to continue to work with your wireless service provider.
    Good luck!
    Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

  • I'm using the latest version of firefox, but unable to print any downloads. I've tried using the print icon on the downloaded form and also control P

    I've tried using the print icon on the downloaded form and also control P, but only get a blank page. I've even changed printers, but it didn't help. My print menu looks the same and I do not have trouble printing anything else, only with downloaded files.

    If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
    #In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
    #Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
    #Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
    The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
    '''Right''': 12.7
    '''Top''': 12.7
    '''Left''': 12.7
    '''Bottom''': 12.7
    Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

  • Can't load any webpages but internet works

    I ran into an odd issue on a work computer running OS X Mavericks 10.9.2.
    Every morning when I come in, the computer is unable to load any webpages using Chrome or Safari. Other things that rely on an internet connection (but are not accessed through the browser) still work (i.e. LogMeIn Hamachi, Accessing a remote file server, etc).
    I don't think it's a DNS issue. I am able to successfully ping any website. AFP requests that rely on DNS lookup also go through. But I am unable to access any website, located on the internal network or the internet even if I know the IP address.
    I tried manually setting the DHCP settings and rotating the DNS servers. Still can't load webpages.
    I also tried restarting mDNSresponder and it still didn't work. The only thing that works is restarting the computer.
    This happens every once in a while on other computers in the office, too.
    I'm stumped. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar.
    Log into Guest
    Open Safari and see if you see the same behavior
    If no, it's an issue in your User's folder.
    If yes, it's an base issue.
    Even though you are fully updated, running the combo updater can help.
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.3 to 10.9.4. If somehow the 10.9.3 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.3 and 10.9.4 it will still be stale after the delta update.

  • Firefox updated yesterday and now it won't load any webpages. Have reviewed articles on this problem and checked everything. Still won't load. All other browsers work fine.

    Have checked firewall and network settings and compared to other computers running firefox. All is ok, but firefox won't load any webpages. This started immediately after it updated yesterday. No error messages.
    Have been having problems with updates on serveral of our computers for a month or so. Previous problems have always been that firefox renames a file it needs by adding moz.backup to the file name and I have to search for the file and remove it. This time I'm getting no error messages.

    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 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.

  • I keep getting this error ssl_error_rx_malformed_alert when trying to load any webpage

    I was experiencing a pop up by 'salus' and in trying to rid of it, I reinstalled Firefox. Since doing so, I am unable to open any webpages. I only get the above error. I've discovered a way around it is to first open CCleaner and click on the 'online help' button, by doing this I can access most other webpages I wish to open such as facebook and hotmail and this moxilla support. If I close out the CCleaner, and try to open Firefox, I get the same ssl error.

    Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
    All these programs have free versions.
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • My firefox wont load any page. Says it cant find the server of any of them. I can view the same pages in safari. I just updated to 3.6.7 and now having this problem. What is happening?

    My firefox wont load any page. Says it cant find the server of any of them. I can view the same pages in safari. I just updated to 3.6.7 and now having this problem. What is happening?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Today ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

    Read this somewhere else: Can't find it again so can't reference - apols.
    fixed by entering
    about:config into the nav bar
    toggle dom.storage.enabled to 'true'
    worked for me - but don't know what it does or why :)

  • Safari not loading any webpages after 10.7.3 update.

    I did the update through software update, and I saw a lot of people having errors with that, but i did not get the cui error, my only issue is safari stopped loading any webpages.
    If I try to enter an address in the bar and hit enter, it just beachballs, and than nothing happens, before it used to just keep trying to load it.
    I than downloaded the combo updater, opened the dmg, and installed over it, restarted and same issue
    Prior to the combo update I repaired any file permissions as well.
    How do I get safari to work properly again?
    I even uninstalled the clicktoflash extension.
    TIA.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that doesn't help, back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes click Reset.
    If that didn't help, go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file form the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If pages load, move that .plist file to the Trash. Otherwise, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
    See if that helps. If not, go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab. Deslect:  Enable plug ins
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If Safari loads pages, then you need to troublleshoot Safari add ons >  Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues'
    If you have anti virus software installed, disable that. And turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. See if that helps.

  • Safari NOT LOADING ANY WEBPAGES...PLEASE HELP!!

    Hey Everyone,
    I’ve been having a huge problem with my safari browser ever since I got it installed onto my windows XP OS. On starting up the application, safari JUST WON’T LOAD ANY WEBPAGES. I’ve only managed to get it to load pages a few times after much struggle and this usually succeeds immediately after restarting the computer. And the other weird thing is, once fired up, it won’t fail to load any web pages until you close the browser. The other fault is that the browser keeps crushing once you mingle around with its buttons in attempt to get it to load the webpages.
    I have tried to google whether people have had similar problems with the browser but none fits into my problem. I would love for anyone to offer me any guidance on what to do next after all the below attempts to fix the problem failed;-
    -Re-installing Safari several times.
    -The same problem occurs on my Windows Vista Notebook.
    -can’t seem to find a facility to change the port number.
    PLEASE HELP!

    In Vista, Safari personal prefs and such are stored in the hidden user folder "AppData" in subfolders Local and Roaming, under "Apple" folders.
    Clean out (move or something) and let Safari start fresh, which should solve the issue.
    Not sure where XP stores files.

  • Safari won't load ANY webpages

    Since the OS update this week Safari will not load any webpages.  All software updates have been done.
    I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch early 2011 2.2 GHz with 8 GB ram running OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b)
    Running Safari Version 5.1.3 (7534.53.10)
    I get the beachball on ANY page I try to load.  It also will show the beachball in the page area even without typing a url to load.  I have reset all but saved names and passwords, and autofill info and emptied the cache.
    Nothing seems to work.

    Hi...
    Several things to try ...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Deselect: Enable plug ins Quit then relaunch Safari. If Safari loads pages, troubleshooting help here. Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit, relaunch Safari to test.
    Quit Safari. Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file (preferences).
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Quit, relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash, If not, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
    Try Safari in another user account. If Safari won't load pages there also, then it's possible the startup disk needs repairing.
    Use Lion Recovery for that.
