FireFox isn't working right on my Mac. Sometimes it won't load at all( says server not found) and sometimes pics and video won't load. If I switch to IE or safari it works fine.

I just got a Mac ( I have always had a pc) and I loaded the most update version of Firefox on it. Many times during the day I will go to a website and it will get a "Server not found" message. I can't refresh the page and fix it, but if I go to IE or Safari the webpage shows up fine. It's not just the webpage cause it is never the same one and it can happen to any site. Also when using Firefox there are many times when I go to a page and not all the pics load or if there is a video on the page the video doesn't load. Again if I then go to IE or safari everything is there and works fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FireFox and nothing changed. I cleared my cache, cookie, history and still nothing. I love firefox so this is really frustrating. Any help please.

Did you ever fix this, because I am having the same problem

  • Firefox has always opened with an extra tab that says "server not found." How can I fix this?

    Several years ago, I downloaded Firefox for the first time on my Xp machine. The browser opens to the home page, but up in the tab area, there is always, and I mean through EVERY version and upgrade since that first one, including the most recent version 4, there is a second tab just to the right of the home page tab that says, "server not found." Now, since the home page loaded, it is obvious to me that the server WAS indeed "found." what I don't understand is why this second tab is there. Any ideas? I have read through the FAQ about not finding the server, and nothing there is relevant to this, as far as I can see.

    How many pages do you have set as your "homepage"? <br />
    Firefox allows for multiple homepages in separate tabs, separated by the pipe | symbol.
    Try resetting your homepage. <br />

    Thank you for the link, but I am not sure how this is going to help me: I am not booting straight to an X session, but prefer to log into TTY1 and have my login shell handle everything from there.
    Here is the relevant part of my .zprofile:
    if (( UID )); then
    [[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec systemd --user
    fi
    As far as I understand, your method works if I enable the [email protected] template when actually booting straight to X.

  • Why is firefox saying "server not found" ?

    I am connected to the internet, Im actually using my work computer for this questions because I can not get on at home. My wireless connection IS CONNECTED and I double click mozilla firefox to web browse and it says " server not found" Im so frustrated about this considering your website is not very helpful in solving this issue at all. Any suggestions for me other than switching to a new browser.

  • My mac says "Server Not Found"

    Ok so I hooked up my IMAC G3 to the internet through an ethernet cable and it does not work. When I start Explorer it says Server not found. When I go to the network connections, it shows the IP address and all the info. Please someone let me know what's going on.

    It should still work for at least connecting, but it is possible installing a more recent browser will help.
    The old Mozilla suite should work, and would probably be the best bet for Mac OS X 10.1.x

    Also, make sure you have installed 10.1.5 (I believe that's the latest update for that release).

  • Firefox 4 on Mac goes through periods of time where it brings "server not found" or "problem loading page" pages. I have to re-start firefox to get it to work again. Works fine on Safari.

    Hi, ever since I was prompted to download the new Firefox 4, I have continuously been having this issue. I will type in a domain name and it will automatically prompt me to "server not found". The websites work fine on Safari and Google Chrome, but not firefox. I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox about 4 times and I really need a solution!
    Also, I have done all of the IPv4, Cache, and other solutions listed in the article on having certain sites not load. I'd appreciate some help! Thanks!

  • Hotmail doesn't open and says 'server not found' but all other websites work fine...

    My macbook won't open hotmail. It works on all other websites apart from hotmail. I have tried using safari to open it but it still didn't work. It comes up with the message 'Server not Found'. I have tried another computer in the house and it worked absolutely fine. I have cleared cookies and cache on the macbook which has not changed anything. Please help as this is rather an annoying situation to be in. Thankyou

    Are you using a bookmark or do you enter the website via the main entry (i.e. a link on the MSN page)?
    In the case of a bookmark, you may need to delete this bookmark and create a new bookmark.
    Is this also happening with the Windows Live (Outlook) login page:
    *https://mail.live.com
    *https://login.live.com
    You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

    Does this happen on all websites? If so then you may have to update the permissions in your firewall application to allow the new Firefox.

    I have noticed this. One time it crashed when using a video app such as VLC, and another time when changing desktops between an app playing a video and say Skype or Google Chrome (I can't be sure which).

    checked my firewall... checked mozilla TOOLs- use no proxy

    Did you empty your browser cache before typing in your url into your web browser?
    Did you type in the url directly rather than clicking on the visit site button?
    Have you actually published your site? 
    Are you using iWeb built in ftp?  If you are then perhaps try publishing your site to a local folder from iWeb and using an ftp client such as Cyberduck to upload your site to your server.

  • When trying to open firefox I always get "server not found".

    After downloading Firefox I cannot get it to connect to the internet. I always get the message "server not found." I have tried all the "fixes" suggested online but without any luck. This is a new download and I have not used Firefox before now.

    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.
