Firefox only shows untitled page and "done" in the lower left, will not open any page.

When I open Firefox I only get an untitled tab and "done" in the lower left. It will not open any web page. I have XP. I think this started when I installed AVG 2011. I have uninstalled the avg and still can't get it to work. My internet connection is work as I am getting my email through Outlook. I recovering to before this all happened and that did not help. Also, IE won't open, so I have no web browsing available.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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. 
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox will not open any pages

Two days ago my computer would let me open firefox, but it will not display any of the pages - not even my home page. It tells me it is done at the bottom of the screen but nothing is showing up. I prefer to use firefox, but I am having to use another broser.

A new version of Firefox was released 2 days ago, so it is possible that a Firewall is blocking the new version of Firefox. For details on that see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

All of a sudden my FireFox will not open any pages.

When I log onto FF and try to open any page, it says problem loading page. What can I do to make it work again?

Restart your iPad, your printers, and your router.

HT201412 I dropped my phone and the camera shutter will not open- any suggestions? Thank you!!

I dropped my iPhone and the camera app no longer works. The shutter will not open, however I am able to take front facing punctures when using the Camera360 app.
Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

Well if the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, then you've broken your phone. Bring your phone and $199 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement.

Firefox Will not open any pages; connection reset... Every time!!!!!!

Firefox gives me the connection reset error message on play.google.com or the get add ons page. Every time. Had to use chrome to post this question. I have uninstalled/reinstalled 6 times, reset to factory 4 times, yet all of my add ons and plugins are still there even though i tell it to remove user data. I have tried every troubleshooting tip i could find. NOTHING. please help!!!!!!

Have you tried manually removing Firefox and all of its data. If not, follow the steps below:
# Located the Firefox installation root
# Delete it
# Type <code>%appdata%</code> in Run window
# Open the folder entitled <code>Mozilla</code>
# Delete the folder entitle <code>Firefox</code>
WARNING: Removing folders/files can cause damage to other programs and the Windows operating system. use caution when manually deleting folders/files

I did the update to 3.6.11 - when it restarted it will not open any pages. When i go to check for updates it gives me this error: Update XML file malformed (200) - Any advice?

I did the update to 3.6.11 - After it started Firefox it would go to the requested site in the addressbar, but the page would be blank. I went to check for updates and it told me there was a problem in updating. It gave me this error message: Update XML file malformed (200)
I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same problem exists.
Any advice?

For the error message see [[AUS Update XML File Malformed 200]].
As it appears not to be able to load any sites, a possible cause is your firewall blocking the new version of Firefox. For more details see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

How do i download more than 2 downloads in "Downloads window"?
"Downloads window" only show 2 download and don't show third one and more, They be wait until one of first or second complete.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

You have some extensions that related to downloading listed in the Troubleshooting information.
It is probably one of them that is causing that problem.
What kind of files are you trying to download?
Are all the files downloaded from the same server?

I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my computer is slow and will not open some pages can i uninstall

I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my mac is really really slow and will not open some pages. Can I uninstall?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Have just upgraded to version 4 and when I go to Goggle search for a website it shows me a list but will not open any.

Have just upgraded to version 4 and when I go to Goggle search for a website it shows me a list but will not open any. If I use the bookmarks all of the websites open perfectly. I've closed Firefox down and opened again and a message says "how embarassing" and tells me to restore or start a new session. Have tried both but still will not let me open any websites on the google search page.

. I did however, delete the majority of my photos off of iPhoto after I backed them up because I needed room in my library.
exactly how did you delete these photos?

Pages will not open any of my word documents. The I works documentation states that it will open them. What don't I know

Pages will not open any of my word documents. The I works documentation states that it will open them. I have tries using the open under the file menu and I have tried dragginh the file to the pages 09 icon. Either way I get the following Message "The document “*****.docx” couldn’t be opened.What do I need to do to open them?

hello, the most likely cause is a firewall/security program preventing firefox from accessing the internet. see [[Firewalls]] for information on how to configure them correctly.
also make sure that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet in firefox > options > advanced > network > connection - settings... in there "no proxy" should be selected for normal use cases.

My wi-fi connection is enabled, however Safari is telling me the server stopped responding. My laptop is working fine on the same wi-fi network. I have reset the network settings and still Safari will not open any web pages. Help!

Ralph..........Did as you suggested and I am still getting the message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I am not able to connect with anything on the Internet. Frustrating since I am able to connect with my laptop. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a laptop using OSX 10.5.8, iTunes v. 10.6.3 and Quicktime 7.7. iTunes will not open. It says it requires QuickTime 7.5.5 or later. I've tried reinstalling each of them. No success. Don't know what to try next.

QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
= New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications. One person had re-installed their operating system. It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize. Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem. Do this manually, not with Software Update.
Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979 - uninstall Quicktime before installing.

I installed lightroom cc and it shows that it is up to date. It will not open.
