Firefox quit working will not open any websites at all. Bookmarks and Menu are gone too.

Mozilla was updating itself and zonealarm wanted me to allow it while I was in middle of a online school test question so I clicked deny just to try and finish the test. This did nothing but keep opening the zonealarm window to see if the update could be done, which I finally did but now mozilla is not working on any websites and i've uninstalled it and reinstalled it and also added the update settings but its not working. passwords and now im basically locked out of them.

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.

Firefox will not open any website and I have done what your help section has instructed. after it updated quit working.

After Firefox updated I cannot open any website but explorer can. I have done everything your help site suggested. I like firefox and would like to keep using it. Can you help? I am using windows vista 64 bit operating system.

After upgrading, sometimes your firewall will not recognize the new Firefox version and, therefore, not allow it to access the internet. To remedy that situation,
#you must remove Firefox from your firewall's allowed applications list,
#then restart firefox, go to a website, the firewall will detect the new Firefox version and
#then give the necessary permissions for your firewall to allow Firefox access to the internet

Firefox will not open certain websites, unless I close and restart the browser. Anyone hear of this ?

Some webpages, for example newegg.com, will not open at all. But if I close ff and then restart ff - newegg.com will load up almost instantly. Yahoo's pages have problems as well - especially if there is a video with a news article. Many times - there simply wont even be a placeholder. I will read the article - and then realize there should be a video accompanying it - I'll have to view in IE - which I hate.

I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

I have reset this firefox daily... it works for a few hours, then will not open a website for 15 mins, and I cannot get emails addresses to show up when sending

This new updated firefox is awful.. I cannot get websites to open for about 10-15 mins it keeps showing S1 Yimg.com ans s.ytimg, and says shockwave plug in is bad, and all other kinds of crap..
The connection was reset.. I got this msg below and had to reopen this page in another window, and reload it to be able to write on this now... and my network connection is working xlnt, and there is no firewall blocking firefox...
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
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.
Try Again
I never had this until I got all these new automatic updates with this new firefox.. I did a system restore, which helped for 1 day, and I have had to reset firefox daily to use it.. And now it took 10 mins to open this page, and then I had to reload this page twice to write this..
I've used firefox for years, and never never had any problems with it. And I see alot of similiar complaints like mine on this forum now..
What suggestions do you have for me NOW... much appreciated, Cyrus

I uninstalled all the old flash players and installed the flash player v16.0.0.235 from the Adobe website posted.
And Firefox is still the same. It takes forever to web search, It takes a long time to get on Youtube, and a longer time now to open a video..
It's actual worse since I upgraded to the newer flash player.
I'll do one more fifefox reset (this is the 8th one in a week)
and it works for a few hrs, and goes back to the slowww way of working...
Many of my friends I talked to about this, told me to switch over to Chrome like they had to do..
I guess that's the only alternative now..
Thankyou all for your help and suggestions anyway.. :)

Firefox will not open any webpage - including google, youtube and firefox help.

Firefox won't open anything. This includes support.mozilla.com - I am currently using my back-up browser, Internet Explorer.
Firefox is enabled to access the internet, and browser cookies are not blocked.
All it says every time I try to open any webpage is 'Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at [address of site].' and 'Unable to connect.'

Firefox will not load any websites at all

I have been using Firefox for more than awhile, as IE 10 would not work for me, but a few days ago Firefox stopped working all together. I will click Firefox and all that happens is it loads a New Tab, and it has a blank page with no web address. If i type in a web address, it 'loads' for a split second and still is a blank page. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and did not work. I have also reset Firefox, and nothing happens except i get a pointless toolbar back. I do not have Chrome, but IE is working fine for me as i have downgraded to IE 9. I do prefer Firefox though, as it is a bit faster and more simply organized. Is there anything else i can try to fix this problem?

Firefox Will Not Open Any Websites

Well, no one seems to be able to address this. My Explorer is working fine, but after updating my Firefox, it's as dead as a door nail.
You know, I first started using Firefox because Explorer just wasn't stable. And for awhile, Firefox was the answer to my problems. But then it began adding search bars and other crap, and the next thing I knew, Firefox began shutting down and then starting back up with an "Ooops, this is embarrassing!" message.
For computer users, stability (not features) is everything. I know Mozilla has to add on all these crappy search functions to put meat on the table, but Google is still the best. I just reinstalled Firefox with no improvement. I wish they had a "roll back" feature so we could go back to the previous version.
Now I'm trying to post this message and am getting an error message saying, "You must specify a post subject!" And guess what? There's no place that will accept a post subject!
Very strange....

'''''"after updating my Firefox, it's as dead as a door nail"'''''
Your firewall is probably not recognizing the new version and is blocking its connection. Clear all references to Firefox from your firewall's program list, let the firewall re-detect the new Firefox version, and give it the proper permissions to connect. See:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot+connect+after+upgrading+Firefox
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firewalls
'''''"it began adding search bars and other crap"'''''
The toolbars/search tools are probably piggy-backing on other things you are downloading and installing on your system. This most frequently happens when downloading "free" software; nothing is really "free", is it. Before downloading, carefully read everything and notice any mention of a toolbar or search engine. During the installation, look for an opt-out to check or un-check for the "extras". I have attached a couple of examples in the lower left corner of my post (from ClamWin Free Anti-virus and Foxit Reader).

My ipad 2 doesn't will not open the website that is bookmarked it's blank seems like I need to sync but am confused. sync is nowhere to be found on my iphone or ipad2 firefox applications. trying to figure this out but am stumped.

OK, now my websites are showing up but is there supposed to be a sync button on the ipad and iphone or you just sync from your computer and it goes to these devices. Also is there a place you can go to see a list of your devices?

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

HI,
First, there are no Mac viruses in the wild.
recently random sites have had a warning message thing come up that looks like a Norton Anti-virus telling me to run my browser in 'safe' mode or something.
So far it hasn't really done anything malicious, but I'd like to stop it before it does.
The file is an .exe file and unless you are running a Windows partition on your Mac, the Mac OS X cannot open those files. You're OK! If you are running Windows then you would need anti virus software, but it would be installed on the Windows partition, not the Mac OS X.
Nothing to be worry about. They are trying to get your to purchase anti virus software. Norton a/v for a Mac is the worst thing you could install. It's invasive and impossible to UNinstall.
You are running Snow Leopard... read here.

Firefox will not open ANY site. Wont work AT ALL. Nothing seems to be working.

Firefox will not open ANY site. It worked last night, but not today. I uninstalled it many times, didn't worked. It displays the screen that says "unable to connect" yet chrome and explorer both work. I have disconnected and reconnected a few times, restarted my laptop, neither of those worked either. I have also tried turning "safe mode" off after re installing firefox, but again, that did not work. I need help :(.
Although, before this, firefox was not letting me use voice recording sites or any site that let me watch television online. It would load the commercials, but not play the episode. It wouldn't even let me upload pictures to photobucket. However, it worked using chrome or explorer.

Looks like a bunch of people have this problem. Anyone got any ideas to fix this???

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.
[[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]

Firefox quit working will not open any websites at all. Bookmarks and Menu are gone too.
