Firefox not connecting to Addon Website for Updates
Firefox says it is unable to connect to Mozilla Addon site when I try to update my addons. Likewise, it gives the same error when I try to update addons directly from their page on the Firefox Addon Website.

Using the link you provide in both Firefox and Safari I go straight to a login panel that requests userid and password. Selecting 'Cancel' drops me out to the www.123-reg.co.uk site.
That's exactly what I found too, using Safari 5.1 on a MacBook Pro.

FIREFOX WILL NOT CONNECT TO YOUR SERVER FOR UPDATES. HOW DO I FIX
TRYED TO FOLLOW YOUR WEB SITE TO MANUAL UPDATE FIREFOX BUT IT WILL NOT CONNECT TO YOUR SERVER. HOW TO FIX. ALSO BROWSER HAS BEEN HIJACKED HOW DO I FIX THIS. I TRY TO SEARCH FOR FIREFOX AND I END UP AT MANY DIFERANT SITES THAT I DID NOT ASK ABOUT.
I'm having the exact same issue. I'm connected to the VPN, but I can't mount or otherwise connect to the shared drive. Did you ever resolve this?

The only other thing I can tell you is that I have brought up a website with firefox on both user accounts on my desktop computer on which the operating system is Windows 7, and I cannot get to a website on the second user account. Also this is a problem of recent origin. I had no trouble previously.
When I right-click on the "Subscribe" link in Firefox and choose "Inspect element", I can see that there is another element (a div element with id="layer73" and the text "Pledge online") floating in front of the subscribe link. This is preventing mouse clicks from reaching the link underneath.
It looks like you could fix this by changing the style of the "layer73" div to have a smaller height. -
Firefox will not connect to any website but other browsers can
I installed firefox on my new advent laptop running windows 7 but it will not connect to any websites. I can connect using chrome or ie no problem but i always preferred firefox as a browser, i have tried changing settings and turning off my firewall but still having no luck
Okay, here is my answer to this problem. At least it fixed my problem and firefox now works fine.
Prior to this problem I was running zonealarm (free firewall) everything worked fine until I removed zonealarm free and installed Comodo free firewall. That is when the trouble started. firefox failed and IE kept working. I tried everything posted here nothing worked for me.
I resorted to "REGEDIT" and removed everything in my registry that regedit would allow that had the name of "zonealarm" on it. Didn't even have to reboot my system, firefox worked first thing. Everything else is fine also.
[note: this is not a slam against Lavasoft's ZoneAlarm firewall. It is just that UNINSTALL programs do not always do a thorough job of removing parts of programs in your systems and registry cleaner programs do not pick them up either.]
USE CARE, "REGEDIT" IS A POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS TOOL TO USE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NOT A SOMEWHAT ADVANCED USER. USE CARE WITH "REGEDIT!"
Good luck.

Firefox will not connect to any website following upgrade. Anti-malware is not blocking AFAIK
Firefox will not connect to any website *at all* since upgrading to latest version. No mention of Firefox anywhere in firewall- and anti-malware-related services (Intego VirusBarrier X6 V10.6.13).

They are not a supported carrier. You'll have to take it up with them.

I had a problem with a Seagate drive and they connectd remotely to my computer. Hundreds of Windows showed up as part of making the conection and FireFox crashed.
I have since:
* Uninstalled Firefox
* Downloaded a new copy (it fwould not work)
* Followed all advice I could find on the Mozilla support site including clearing all history
Still Firefox will not connect to any website. Here is the error message I get:
Unable to connect:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at nytimes.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.Firefox 6 won't settle down as the next release Firefox 7 is already planned to be released later this month.
You shouldn't be using Firefox 5 because it doesn't have the patch to disable the DigiNotar certificates that was the reason for Firefox 6.0.2.<br />
Using unsupported Firefox versions is at your own risk and makes you vulnerable to attacks.

Every time I open up a pdf file this is the message I receive: Adobe acrobat updater has not been able to check for updates recently. Check online to see if solutions are available from adobe website. I don't know what to do about it or how to fix it can some one help me.
Send an answer to [email address removed]
Thank you so very much
TeresaMoved to Acrobat Installation & Update Issues
Try to download the updates manually from the Adobe website. I believe you need something like Acrobat 9.2.x for full Windows 7 compatibility. -
I can not stop the adobe asking for update.. each 5 minutes....
What is your operating system & version?
What is your web browser?
How is Adobe asking for an update; can you post a screenshot? -
Using Firefox 6.0. No connectivity with any website yesterday.
The download was 5.0.1; which is now working and retains all features of the previous version includingYou do not have the properties in the Bookmarks Manager (Library), but you should have it if you right-click a bookmark the Bookmarks Toolbar or in the bookmarks sidebar.
On Mac you probably do not have it if you right-click an item in the Bookmarks menu (this menu is under control of the Mac OS), but I assume that this should work if you click the "Show your bookmarks" button on the Navigation Toolbar that is next to the star to bookmark the current tab and right-click an item in the bookmarks list that opens. -
After updating to FireFox 5 beta 3 no version of firefox will correctly load any webpage that is secured by a SSL certificate. When viewing sites such as PayPal, eBay, even the addons page for firefox I get a warning saying the page can not be verified and that the certificate is not trusted.
I've got Firefox 5 running on Vista Home and while trying to connect to a SSL secured website running on a network device it won't let me. I type in the username and password, and press 'login' but rather than presenting me with a 'incorrect login' screen, it just refreshes and brings me back to the login screen as though I never even tried to login in the first place.

Firefox will not connect to any website
I use Firefox to connect to the internet, on a WindowsXP and Windows 7 machine. A day or two ago, both had updates added on shut down. Now, Firefox doesn't work on the Windows 7 machine. Error message looks like: "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."
Internet Explorer works. Added Mozilla to list of allowed sites on the Firewall, still same message. Removed and reloaded Mozilla, still same message. I assume the Microsoft update prevents Mozilla (the old "DOS ain't done till LOTUS won't run" updated to "Windows ain't done till Firefox won't run") from working.Okay, here is my answer to this problem. At least it fixed my problem and firefox now works fine.
Prior to this problem I was running zonealarm (free firewall) everything worked fine until I removed zonealarm free and installed Comodo free firewall. That is when the trouble started. firefox failed and IE kept working. I tried everything posted here nothing worked for me.

Basically acer netbook will not allow us to update Firefox from ver 3.5 to 7, check for updates box is greyed out, thanks for your help
Hi James,
Many thanks for your reply, the machine was bought from Currys the 3.6 download warns you it will only be supported for a short time, and recommends downloading ver 7, I am unfamiliar with the workings of Linux but the machine has been good, there must be a solution, no problem if we have to pay for the upgrade. Many thanks for your help,
Cheers, Steve -
Firefox not displaying favicon/.ico file for specific website
Firefox has always displayed the favicon for my website, until recently. Now there is just a blank space where the favicon should be. I am able to see the favicon for all other websites except my own. It is a wordpress site, so I followed their most recent instructions for adding a favicon. I even tried some other guidelines and tips for adding .ico files, just in case wordpress was missing something, but still no luck. I have double-checked the file format as a 16x16px .ico file and made sure the code & image location within my website directory was correct... Everything looks as it should. The favicon is displaying perfectly in all other browsers I tried, such as Chrome, Safari, Opera & IE. I have cleared my cache, cleared my browser history and even uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox. I also tried another computer using a different IP address. It just isn't displaying.
When I preview the .ico file under 'page info -> media' it looks like Firefox is locating the image and recognizing the file dimensions, but nothing appears in the preview window and under 'file size' it just says "unknown (not cached)."
Here is the link to the site: http://www.mattielynn.com/
Does anyone know why this might be happening?That image doesn't seem to be working in Firefox 3 and 8 (works in Firefox 9 and later).
It works if I save it as 24 bit instead of 32 bit.

not connecting to internet? no add-ons visible? safe mode does not function?
Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
Problem solved.
In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
"If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
Gratefully,
tupester

Using JCA Connector in Web AS Java 6.40 without EP6!?
