  • Firefox can't log me on to the internet. Firewall and proxy fixes don't fix. 2nd time happening in a month. Windows Exp works just fine. Very frustrating. Goodbye Firefox.

    Home page is on yahoo.com. Windows Expl works just fine. I got to this page that way. This has happened a couple of times before. Much as I regret it, looks like Windows Expl is my new browser (or someone else's). Goodbye Firefox?

  • Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at "Every Website" but IE and Safari work just fine.

    Unable to connect
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 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.

    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.

  • Adobe Reader docs appear washed out and faint with Firefox 6.0.1, but not with Internet Explorer. Running Windows 7

    The PDF docs opened in Firefox are very light and the color of print is multicolored shaded. Different parts of display different shades of any color but black. Just loaded newest Adobe Reader, did not help. Previously running Reader 9. Haven't had a problem till Firefox 6. If I fool with the Window Color in 7 I can effect the PDF doc. Lowering saturation level to nothing helps, but doesn't fix problem.

  • How to dial automatically internet connection in firefox browser at browser startup as in internet explorer

    i have ADSL modem broadband connection in which i have to connect to internet by establishing a connection by using following steps
    control panel>network connection>create a new connection>connect to internet>set up my connection manually >connect using dial up modem OR connect using a braodband connection in which username and password required
    creating this connection i have to provide username and password provided by ISP.
    i have to dial internet connection manually after modem set local area connection automatically
    i found a solution for internet explorer and by changing setting internet explorer start automatically dialling internet connection as i start the internet explorer.
    is their in mozilla firefox an option to automatically dial internet connection as i open firefox browser?
    and is their is any solution for as i start my computer internet connections established automatically without opening any browser , if such solution is available ,please tell about it.

    The setting you set in IE also affects Firefox. For example, if you set the following, then when Firefox makes a connection request to Windows, Windows is supposed to dial the connection:
    Windows Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections or <br>
    Internet Explorer Tools menu > Internet Options > Connections
    "Dial whenever a network connection is not present"

  • Can't connect to any website through Firefox (Connecting...), but Internet Explorer works.

    I have had on and off problems with Firefox working, but up until now, restarting the computer solved the problem. Now it won't load any website for anything...it keeps circulating with "Connecting...". Internet Explorer works just fine and the internet is working with all other devices, the only thing I can find that may be impacting is that the internet has no IPv6 access (I have no clue though and the box is checked). I have tried all of the advice I have found on other similar posts such as disabling the IPv6 and the Prefetch through 'about:config', I restarted the computer multiple times, unplugged the router, checked the firewall and removed and re-added Firefox, cleared the cookies and cache, reinstalled Firefox, uninstalled Chrome.
    Nothing seems to be getting me any closer to having Firefox up and connecting again.
    As a side note, I only have been having those on and off problems, and this current problem, while connected to my home internet--other connections have had no problems. Also, I am using Norton Antivirus which is up to date and showing no problems at present.
    Any ideas on how to fix?

    Have you flushed the dns cache on the computer recently? It could be that it has stored the unsuccessful message.

  • HT5648 OS10.6.8 Firefox 24.0  The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics.  However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome.  I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript.  Help me, please.

    OS10.6.8, Firefox 24.0 
    The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics using Firefox 24.0 - just identical rectangles where new icons should be.\.  However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome.  I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript.  Those settings aren.t easy to access in the most recent Firefox 24.0 version.   Help me, please.

    The settings for Javascript are either on or off, Fireefox 24 doesn't give you a option to turn off Javascript, unless you installed something like NoScript extension (or some other Javascipt blocking add-on)
    If NoScript, then you need to use the View > Toolbars > Customize and drag the NoScript "Temp Allow All" button to the toolbar area to enable all enabled scripts (including Javascript) on that web page.
    Under the Firefox Help menu is a option to restart with add-ons disabled to see if something you might have installed is causing your problem.
    Reinstall Firefox or create another user account and run Firefox there to try to localize your issue.
    I'm having no problem here on 10.6.8 in Firefox, Chrome or Safari, Yahoo Mail works perfectly.

  • How to make yahoo mail the default email in Windows 7

    Mozilla Firefox is my default browser. How can I make yahoo mail my default email in Windows 7

    No.  That's a browser-specific function.  In fact, it's much better

  • Internet is connected and majority of the websites work, yet sometimes the pictures are not loading? And the suddenly the hole page won't load? The weirdest thing is I go venture off to another website and it'll work just fine??

    So I have been having this very annoying problem with the loading of certain internet sites e.g - Ebay, google maps, google in general & you tube.
    My internet connection is fine and i have spoken with my service provider TPG and Apple about this annoying issue.
    I can be generally browsing on google for instance and then suddenly the page freezes? No matter how many times i click the Refresh tab it still manages to do the same thing. Now the most confusing bit is, instead of clicking the refresh button I then venture off to Yahoo for instance and that website will work just fine??
    Ugh, another (now) consistant issue is that none of my pictures are loading when im on Ebay? yet i can browse every catagory just fine....?
    Please, if there is anyone out there HELP ME.... I'm a Mechanical Technician (Fitter by Trade) I do not class myself as a Computer Technician.... Far from it!!

    Thanks for the advise....
    You're correct about the steps you mentioned earlier.  Tho Unfortunetely I've tried these things. Infact I was on the phone with applecare last night for about an hr & a half, yet even they seem stunned as to what is causing this?
    We reset the safari in a different way as you mentioned earlier (I would not have been able to do this without some Technical assistance)
    Open Finder >  click on the GO tab > Hold down the OPT key & a tab will appear that reads [Libary]
    Click on Libary > Now look for a folder that reads [Safari]
    Drag this folder to the desktop
    Now open the folder that reads [Preferances]
    Look for files: com.apple.safari.plist & com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
    Now quit any programs operating & restart the computer.
    Vwallaa Safari is officailly reset, it will even take you on a tour when you open it for the first time.
    Now the catch is.... this didnt work "For me"  So My next step was to make a dummy account on my Mac (making sure that it had administrator rights) I then tried it on the dummy account. Luck would have it as it still managed to do the same thing.
    Apple came to the conclusion that restoring Lion might be a possible solution. So we done just that, wasnt till this morning when i turned on this annoying Mac i realised that it is still doing the same thing.
    Apple care is going to call me this afternoon so hopefully "fingers crossed" this issue can be fixed.
