Firefox no longer works on two important sites, tried re-installing...

When I go to the site chesscube.com, a big and secure chess site have been playing on for years the login process ends with a gray screen which shows nothing. When I go to ABC News site for video replays the 'loading' process sticks and just keeps saying 'loading.' I started by clearing cache, cookies, etc. AT&T agent suggested re-installing, which I had already done recently. Currently have Firefox 25.
Operating system Vista.

In case the update trigger a new add-on incompatibility, could you try the sites in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash will still work)''
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Hi DoesFirefoxRespond,
Thank you for your questions. I understand that there is an issue with accessing some bank sites. If you have already disabled Firefox add ons and have still experienced the same issue, please try the following:
# Open a Private Window and login to the bank site to see if it causes the same issue. It will not use active logins or previous history.

Hello vinaysingh, check if your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) preventing Firefox from connecting to the Internet.

Seasons Greetings. How do I keep firefox 4 from disallowing my most important sites?

Question
Seasons Greetings. How do I keep firefox 4 from disallowing my most important sites? All the garbage, it lets sail right in, but my bank accounts and library accounts are not allowed. Why is this? I have looked in the help section and tried the permissions manager, but when I type about:permissions in the location bar, I receive the following error, "The URL is not valid and cannot be located." Thanks for any useful information.

Thanks for responding. Sorry I wasn't very precise. When attempting to navigate to one of these sites, a message at the top of the screen appears, "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." Then there is a dialog box which says, "Allow." Once I 'allow' it, the page I'm trying to open does so. This only occurs with certain pages, and usually pages that I need open without any computer interference. I hope this clarifies things. Again, thanks for taking your time to respond.

What does "You can't open the application "Setup QuarkXPress6.1" because power PC applications are no longer supported" mean? I am trying to install an old version of Quark on my 2010 Macbook pro.

As has been mentioned, the software in Mac OS X that supported the running of PPC applications rather than current Intel applications on Intel computers such as your MBP was last seen in Snow Leopard. However, since I believe your MBP originally came with Snow Leopard, you may be able to boot from the DVD's that came with the computer and install it on an external HD and try to install Quark on that.
I think a better solution would be to buy Snow Leopard Server from Apple by phone (800-692-7753 and be specific about wanting part # MC588Z/A), installing it as a virtual machine in software like VMware Fusion, and then installing Quark 6 in that. You'll still need a license number to authorize the Quark installation.

Firefox has becomes unresponsive and slow after I tried to install addons (not installed)?

I recently format my computer and reinstall the windows 7, since this was the only solution that I know to fix the problem with Firefox (I previously had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it . This version was super fast. But becomes unresponsive and slow, when I tried to install the add-ons. I visited the official website of firefox and search for the addons, when I tried to install some addons, Firefox crashed. From then on, it has becomes quite slow and can't restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, It takes more than 5 minutes and becomes unresponsive frequently (after I typed each letter).
I want to know whether this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable"

Hey there,
We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste that into the "Post a Reply" box. (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the ID's. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)
[[Image:aboutcrashesFx29|width=520]]
 
After you've done this, you could 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, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
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)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Hope this helps!

Firefox no longer working with Mac OSX 10.4.11

i'm using Mac OSX 10.4.11 and Firefox 3.6.12. As i understand it any of ur upgrades no longer work with this computer system. ( I tried to upgrade last week and ur site said upgrades no available gfor my platform version. Last week every time i conducted a search (default Google) i was redirected to http://search.creativecommons.org/?q=crossword+puzzles&sourceid=Mozilla-search.what gives? Have I been hijacked? also sites that I use daily are clipped and entire pages are smaller than usual . see www.shockwave.com
If u are no longer supporting Mac users, please let us know in advance or at least post it on ur site. Can no longer use Firefox...

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Cmd+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If you open about:crashes, you should get links to online crash reports. You could post some of the crash IDs for review by volunteers here.
Given the timing, another issue might be some ads or media in the page. There are some add-ons to block such things...

Since an automatic update the "Post to Vodpod" button (supposedly developed in concert with Firefox) no longer works, how do I get it back?

The "Post to Wordpress widget from http://vodpod.com/wordpress no longer works after Firefox did an automatic, unrequested update.

The button sounds like it sends a video to vodpod.com but that doesn't match what I see for the extension. The other two extensions came up with a search for vodpod but don't specifically mention vodpod.

Firefox no longer working with Multibox

http://www.liamsmart.co.uk/Downloads/multiBox/ used to work with Firefox. I last tested it successfully about September 2012, with whatever the current version of Firefox was.
I tested it tonight, with 21.0 and it was not working.
It works with current versions of IE and Opera.
I reinstalled Firefox version 20.0 and that does not work either.
I had Firefox version 12.0 on a laptop and it was working tonight.
I upgraded the laptop version to 21.0 and it no longer works.

Email no longer working for my WordPress site

Not sure when this happened, but my wordpress site will no longer send emails. The only time I get an error back of any help is when i try the password recovery utility. It displays
The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function...
Which is odd because this used to work just fine when I first set this all up 3 months ago. Do the shared sites have email disabled now? How can I get this working again? I tried looking through wordpress for email configuration and testing,
but didn't find anything there.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Chris

Oh wow, that's odd. It worked just fine when I initially setup the site. Never heard of having to install a plugin to get SMTP working for a wordpress site. I've always understood that you'd simply have to configure PHP to let it communicate
with the SMTP server, which naturally happened when I installed the WordPress site from your plugins. Which doesn't mean to say that it's impossible for it to be different than what I imagined. But really, I'd be surprised if this is "standard
wordpress practice".
As with all wordpress plugins, there's a worry about installing a malicious one in your site. Is there any that you all could suggest to "re-bridge" the gap in this functionality?
Also if this is the default behavior for the "website preview" which has been provided by running on shared instances, does this mean that if we were to decide to upgrade the site to be on our own instance, that we'd have to perform the same tasks to get
email working?

Evernote clipper for Firefox no longer works

Since Firefox 18.0 or 18.0.1 (current) on the Mac, the Evernote clipper no longer works, either the 5.4.1 regular version or the 5.5 beta. The dropdown begins to appear but with only the circular progress indicator, which spins forever. The clipper works in Chrome.
I've emptied the cache, removed all Evernote cookies, and reinstalled the clipper a couple of times. No luck. I'm about to migrate to Chrome as my primary browser, but would prefer to stick with Firefox if I can get this fixed. Mac OS: 1.8.2. Clipping to the web version of Evernote.

Why does Firefox no longer work with Slate or AIM?

1. On Slate.com I allow all scripts to run; however, even though most links on the pages work, I can no longer view comments in articles -- the function to open the comments simply does not work.
2. When I load the standalone desktop AIM program, until Firefox 37 I was able to click the mail icon and go directly to my AOL mail; this no longer works, but instead logs me out of AOL and I have to log in again.
I don't know if these are related, but both appeared when I allowed an upgrade to version 37.

I ran avg today. Firefox no longer works. I tried your solution via avg interface didnt work I have avg 2012. Applications look different. I need omeone to wal

I ran avg 2012. Now Firefox does not work. Checked via support got a download on going to AVG firewall and trying to delete then add then click ... button. It then says go to firefox installation directory(where is that) go to Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ then select firefox.exe. etc. This is where I stopped.
firewall said firefox allowed. Being a nullgeek I stopped cause I dont want to cause any more damage. I also tried uploading newest version of Firefox and that resolved nothing.
I am currently using Internet Explorer.
I need to be walked thru this.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 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.
