Firefox unable to open Google, Facebook and other bugs.

As of around 1 week ago, I can no longer access facebook, any mozilla/google related page however I can still access the google search engine by entering the 197.1.1 code thing (not very pc literate).
My problem is whenever I type google.com or facebook.com into the url, nothing actually happens, the url looks like it seeking than it just revert back to whatever url I was on before. I can access youtube but the comments section is just loading but thing actually shows up. If I try to open firefox help page a new window would open but it is just blank even though I can see the see the address in the url. I can however open trouble shooting page and about firefox but none of the others page in the help option.
I have tried reverting firefox to default and restart firefox with no addon without any changes. I have tried ipconfig /flushdns and also resetting my host file from mrfixit as well as scanning for malware from malbytes, adaware and spybot and none of them made a difference at all.
I am currently using firefox 26, OS Windows 7 64bit.

You said that Firefox is unable to open Facebook or any mozilla/google related page. You also said you ''can still access the google search engine by entering the 197.1.1 code thing''. Did you mean an [http://compnetworking.about.com/od/traceipaddresses/f/google-ip-address.htm IP address for Google] such as [http://74.125.224.72/] or [http://74.125.131.105/] works but http://www.google.com doesn't?
You also said that you ''can access youtube but the comments section is just loading''. Are there any other problem webpages that won't load in Firefox ... for example, can you access www.cnn.com ... en.wikipedia.org ... support.microsoft.com ... forums.mozillazine.org ... etc. ?

Safari won't open google, facebook and other selected sites?

My internet is working but for some reason safari won't open selected sites - seems like it's loading and says "contacting (website)" and nothing happens. Any advice?

Hi,
I tried doing that, still won't open google?
After a few minutes of waiting I am now getting this error message:
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.ca/”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
It says "lost network connection" but all other internet applications continue to run...So I am clearly not losing my connection.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much.

Firefox crashes when opening PDF, Word and other files

Recently, Firefox stopped being able to open PDF files within the Firefox program. It crashes whether one tries to have it open the file or just download it. The same occurs when trying to open a Word doc. It does this in safe mode too. Since I am studying for a college degree and use these features a lot, I've had to stop using Firefox. This is a problem, because my university uses Firefox for its classes and other programs aren't as compatible. I've tried EVERYTHING suggested on line, both in Firefox help pages and in user pages. Nothing works.

Fix the [http://browser.iyogi.com/firefox/firefox-not-opening-pdf.html '''PDF not opening in Mozilla Firefox'''] issue by reinstalling Adobe Reader. You need to uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it to get the issue fixed. It is important to uninstall all versions of Adobe Reader that you may have in your system. Also, take care of installing the latest Adobe Reader for the browser.

Since upgrading my Mac OS 10.9 and Mavericks, I am unable to open App Store and other problems.

My computer has gone haywire since upgrading to Mac OS 10.9 and adding Mavericks. Mail was a big problem with my not being able to read messages, but now there has been a mail upgrade to solve that. However, still cannot open App Store from my Dock and cannot open Software Update from the apple menu. Lots of other screwy things going on and Apple seems of no help to try and resolve these issues. Anyone with similiar problems or issues?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''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 [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

Notes:
1) Please use the code tags when posting code or JNLP/HTML. It helps to retain indentation and avoids asterisks and plus sings being interpreted as formatting marks. To do that, select the code/JNLP etc. and click the CODE button seen on the Plain Text tab of the message posting form.
2) That launch file is invalid. You might check it (and the project in general) using JaNeLA.
3) The only place that SimpleSerial class could be, that the JRE would find, is in the root of aeon.jar. Is it actually there?

MacBook Pro issues connecting to Gmail, Facebook, and other websites

Hi,
In the past week or so, I have had problems connecting to Gmail, Facebook, and other websites on my MacBook. When I try to open Gmail, I get the following message "Safari can't verify the identity of the website "accounts.google.com". The certificate for this website is invalid..." etc. It asks if I want to connect anyways, and I do, but then once I'm on Gmail, I can't use gchat and all of the buttons (delete, reply, etc) are blank. When I try to connect to Facebook, I just get a mostly blank page. I'll include screenshots in case that's helpful.
When I try using Firefox, it doesn't allow me to connect to either website at all.
I hope someone can help me with this issue!

On your iMac, open System Preferences > Date & Time then select the Date & Time tab.
Make sure: Set date and time automatically is selected.
Then select the Time Zone tab.
Make sure: Set time zone automatically using current location is selected.

I deleted my cookies and now i can't access gmail facebook and other sites

i deleted my cookies and now i can't access gmail facebook and other sites

Thanks, but I tried that and was directed to set up a new password which I did. But, it still wouldn't let me go to my existing Gmail. I was asked to set up Gmail account. I also tried accessing my Gmail from Yahoo. Failed. Someone suggested setting up another Gmail address so that when you logged on it would ask you which Gmail to open. This didn't work and only made the problem worse. Google Help is no help. I guess the only way to access Gmail is with my iPad, but it just isn't right!

"apple mobile device failed to start" "verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services" came up on windows XP upgrade to 11.1.4 and since have been unable to open itunes - uninstalled and tried reinstall to no avail - what to do ? Ken

I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
Error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
Can anyone please help?

IOS 8 - pictures not uploading in safari for facebook and other websites?

IOS 8 - pictures not uploading in safari for facebook and other websites? I just upgraded to IOS 8 on my iPad 3 retina display and when I try to upload pictures in safari for facebook, the picture upload just stalls and never completes. This happens in other sites as well. How can I fix this? Is anyone also experiencing this issue???

Hi Hindhaughlee, Thanks for the post.
This may not be the best place to post such a solution but maybe some users will find it. If it turns out to be a major problem with a simple solution maybe we will manage to document it somewhere.
Are you able to provide more details please:
* exactly what software and software versions is the problem with ? You appear to be a Windows 8 user, but presumably the Kaspersky software may be applicable to other Windows versions, which Kaspersky software is this tested with ?
* What is he exact error message or warning that Kaspersky generates in this situation ?
* is the problem documented elsewhere, preferably in a public open site, if so maybe you could provide a link
* can you detail simple but exact detailed Steps To Reproduce that will enable others to test out this problem and solution.
Cheers
John One of the forum moderators J99
P.S. 
Anyone with this problem finding that the solution works may wish to vote for this thread and solution. Or if someone else can produce links to examples of this or you are able to give precise Steps To Reproduce please add a post of your own.

Firefox 5 deleted my Google Toolbar and Google sez I can't install the Google toolbar to Frefox 5 -- What do I do?

Details: Firefox 5 deleted my Google Toolbar and Google sez I can't install the Google toolbar to Frefox 5 -- What do I do?

Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
(1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
(2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
Any luck?

Everytime I attempt to open iPhoto, a message comes up saying, "iPhoto is unable to open this library," and the only option if gives is to quit. How do I get it to open?

When I select iPhoto to open the application, a message comes up saying, "iPhoto is unable to open this library," and the only option available is to quit. I don't know what library iPhoto is attempting to open, but all I want to do is just start iPhoto over from scratch.

Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' to find out what Library is in question. Use the 'Create Library' option to make a new one.
To try and repair the damaged one:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
Regards
TD
