Firefox was working on my new iMac but then, after switching on recently, won't connect to the web – whereas Safari has no problem.

Hi
I bought an iMac a week ago and installed Firefox via Safari. It worked fine for a while but, after a recently switching on, it won't connect to the web whereas Safari has no problems.
I've tried following the Firefox Help, looking into the iMac firewall, but still no luck.
I've no idea whether related or not but yesterday I had a system glitch where the iMac stated no wi-fi was installed and only connected via a physical lead to my house router. Also, there was no sound output via Safari. However, after booting up today all seems well – apart from Firefox still not working. It loads the start page but can't access the web.
I have Little Snitch running, and wonder if that's the culprit... but it's working fine with Safari, seemingly.
(Finally, how do I stop a dialogue box appearing on start-up saying that "To open “X” you need a Java runtime. Would you like to install one now?)
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers

On the wireless networks that your Mac has had trouble connecting to, do you know which Wireless Security type (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) is being used?
If it is WEP, one of the problems is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP. In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.

Hi, my ipod (2nd gen) won't connect to the internet via Safari or through apps but my email does work. Any ideas without needing to reset the ipod?
- Have you tried when connected to other networks? Maybe the router is blocking the ports used by Safari and the other apps.
- What kind of network are you using? a personel or bussines? -

USB-GSM internet doesn't work on my new iMac but works in other Macs
Hi!
I have a Sierra Wireless USB - GSM internet device and it works perfectly on my laptop.
I just got my new iMac and I plugged the device in as normal...
Once I introduce the USB modem, the iMac opens the installation program included on the device and I install normally. I restart the computer and the program doesn't detect the device. It also happens, that every time I introduce the device on the USB port, it activates again the installing program.
But it works perfectly on my laptop and I also tried it on another new iMac and it worked perfectly.
What can be the problem and how to solve it?
Thanks!I found it!

Sometimes when sending a mail it will go more often it won't go, it doesn't seem to be relevant to my geographic position and the message" a copy has been placed in your Outbox. The sender address" my email blah blah" was rejected by the server" . Any ideas?
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional. -
Both are on the latest version of MacOS (made sure I had them completely up to date before starting).
Laptop and imac are connected via ethernet cable. Has been stuck for at least 2 hours showing "About 3 hours and 12 minutes remaining". Not sure what to do??Disconnect and connect your Ethernet cable. If the migration doesn't continue, restart both Macs and start the transfer again. Wi-Fi and Ethernet are slow so I don't recommend you to use it unless it's the only option you have

I can plug my wifi capable printer into my imac, and it will see it and print. When I unplug it, it states that it is off line. I am able to print from another laptop, so the printer is not off line - is there a setting I am missing?

I am using iPhone 4s. I can connect to my home wifi network but it works briefly, then whilr it shows connected with good signal strength, but I can not open a page in safari. I have to turn off the wifi and turn it on again for connection. This goes on and on. Very annoying. Please can anyone solve this problem?
Hi ,
thx for the feedback,to clarify my question :
1-i am able to connect to any wifi network in airports, public places , my home , office , etc.o to get in is no problem.
2-I can also log in into a specific website eg: was in Paris 2 days ago and could log in into the portal of a wifi provider.
3-But when i have to log in providing an e-mail address or other info , i get into a loop where i can not get into the next page but i do get always redirected to the page asking all the info.
This is not only at an airport , i do have it also with my own internet service provider , even if i want to log in from my home into their webmail site i get into this loop where after putting in all the inlog data i get that same page back every time.( i can get mail through my normal mailbox , no problems here)
I do have indeed OS 6 and it is an iPad 2.I do not have the problem with an iPhone 4 S when i use wifi and here i also do have os 6 !! -
Why can I only connect to the web with Safari and not Firefox or Chrome?
I recently reinstalled Snow Leopard and now I can't get online using Firefox, Chrome or any other browser besides Safari. I've never had this problem before now.
Firefox and Chrome might have different proxy settings, you should be able to let them use the same settings as Safari though.

I have a new iPhone for work, set up on a new iTunes account (PC). I was told i can associate it to my home iTunes account (iMac) but don't know how. I want to save the work related apps as well. Any advice? Thanks
Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

I have a new Airport Extreme that works well with my IMac but is intermittent with our Windows 7 PC. Any ideas?
Thanks planb77. Your instructions worked but I had to do a little more than you stated. I did not realize that transferring files to a new computer was not enough. When the iPod synced I was told I needed to "authorize" my new computer to get my iTunes purchases to sync to the iPod. So after the initial sync, I ejected and disconnected the iPod, went into the iTunes store, set up "home sharing" and then authorized the new computer. When that was done I reconnected the iPod and was able to sync all my books and music. The only thing I couldn't do was rename the iPod as iTunes never asked me to. Is there a way to rename it after it has been set by iTunes as "owner's iPod"?

I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. Should it be the itunes or iCloud id?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Preferably your iTunes account, but it shouldn't really matter for getting homesharing turned on, as long as it's a valid ID. -
I have a new Airport Extreme that works great with my IMac but keeps dropping out on our Windows 7 PC. I have tried all 11 2.4 Ghz channels and they all have dropout issues. Any suggestions?
Hello sstefanik
Check out the articles below to troubleshoot your issues with getting a proper connection with Wi-FI. Try creating a new Network Location and join your network to see if you can get on that way.
