Firefox will not bring up any webpages after updating to v3.6.7 and then 3.6.8

Everything ran well in v 3.6.6. Today it seemingly upgraded to v3.6.7 and then a Mozilla web page strongly suggested upgrading to v.3.6.8. I did. Sometime after this Norton 360 v3 found some bad files and quarantined them and needed a reboot. After that reboot no web pages would work in FF. I followed the Norton 360 connection thread and that did not help. I also received a new router yesterday, but v3.6.6 worked fine today and IE works now, so I doubt that the router is the reason. Right now I would be happy to revert to 3.6.6 or else uninstall and try from scratch. I have tried a few reboots, but they did not help.

which is, I guess what you are talking about.
We will try it this afternoon, after school is out. However, as I said, our problem is not limited to Firefox.
Hmmm.
Firefox 4.0 and Safari 5.0.4 do not work.
Chrome and Omniweb both work, after 10 or 15 seconds.

  • Firefox will not open at all. After click the hourglass comes up and then goes away and nothing happens at all. Nothing will load past the desktop. I cannot get into firefox at all to enable anything or disable anything.

    When i click on the mozilla icon on the desktop the arrow will spin (VISTA) and will then disappear. Mozilla will not enable or even pop up or anything. I am still looking at the desktop and not mozilla. I lick on the icon many times and nothing ever enables, still stuck looking at the desktop and no Internet. Not to bring up your rival, but IE will open half way and then say not responding and will freeze and i must restart the computer every time. I have to use opera now because IE and Mozilla will not enable and Mozilla wont even pop up or enable or anything...just the desktop and no net. ONCE AGAIN MOZILLA WILL NOT ENABLE, SO I CANNOT GO TO TOOLS OR ANYTHING.

    I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
    Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).

  • After a crash and update firefox will not connect to any webpages. Internet explorer is working fine. What's going on?

    Firefox crashed. Closed all my windows - did the auto update thingy with accompanying message. Brought up the windows that had closed as usual - all said "problem loading page". Firefox will now not connect to internet. It's not a problem with my connection etc - internet explorer is working fine. Anyone else have this problem today?

    So, it's been 13 hours now and no answers. From reading the Airport Discussion board "
    Airport has a self assigned IP address, 169.254.175.198 and will not be able to connect to the internet"
    is a very common problem and I find it hard to believe Apple has not responded with a fix. I may have to take it into a Genius Bar and see what they can do but I do not have high hopes.
    You know, I was talking to someone last week and the name Apple came up. "Ah", he said, "the Evil Empire". Their success has made them much more brash than MS ever was.

  • Since updating to Firefox 4 on my OSX 10.5.8 mac Firefox will not go to any website

    Since updating to Firefox 4 on my OSX 10.5.8 mac Firefox will not go to any website. Firefox will launch but it won't load anything, the page is entirely blank - no home page loads - nothing. Also - It will not let me install any add ons. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. other apps such as Safari and Mail work as normal. I need Firefox - please help if you can. Thanks

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

  • Firefox will not connect to any site since downloading new upgrade.

    Firefox will not connect to any websites since installing the latest upgrade. Google Chrome and Internet do work.

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
    previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
    trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
    again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

  • It is very annoying when I am at a favourite web site and Firefox will not automatically redirect to another page. It is so continuous and I have to "Allow" through the whole time I am at my favourite web sites

    # Question
    It is very annoying when I am at a favourite web site and Firefox will not automatically redirect to another page. It is so continuous and I have to "Allow" through the whole time I am at my favourite web sites.
    Here is one of those sites:
    http://conservatives4palin.com/

    You can make it automatically redirect by doing this:
    1. Go to: Tools > Options > Advanced > General
    2. Untick the 'Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page' option
    3. Click 'OK'

  • My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes.  It keeps turning off and then showing the apple logo?

    My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes.  It keeps turning off and then shows the apple logo.  I have tried holding down the button and plugging it in.  It will show the red battery for a second and then turn off?  Any other suggestions?

    I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
    I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.

  • Firefox will not launch in any mode. I cannot open Profile manager to change to another profile. No change with delete and reload of program.

    I've been using Firefox for years. Had this happen once before but was able to open the profile manager and change to a new profile. At this point I can't even do that. Suggestions??

    [[Basic Troubleshooting]] has a "clean reinstall" section at the end that does not require you to open Firefox.
    In any case, you should first take a look at the [[Firefox will not start]] article, which I mentioned in my first post. If that doesn't help, also check out http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up#Windows-specific_problems

  • Firefox will not connect to any website but other browsers can

    I installed firefox on my new advent laptop running windows 7 but it will not connect to any websites. I can connect using chrome or ie no problem but i always preferred firefox as a browser, i have tried changing settings and turning off my firewall but still having no luck

    Okay, here is my answer to this problem. At least it fixed my problem and firefox now works fine.
    Prior to this problem I was running zonealarm (free firewall) everything worked fine until I removed zonealarm free and installed Comodo free firewall. That is when the trouble started. firefox failed and IE kept working. I tried everything posted here nothing worked for me.
    I resorted to "REGEDIT" and removed everything in my registry that regedit would allow that had the name of "zonealarm" on it. Didn't even have to reboot my system, firefox worked first thing. Everything else is fine also.
    [note: this is not a slam against Lavasoft's ZoneAlarm firewall. It is just that UNINSTALL programs do not always do a thorough job of removing parts of programs in your systems and registry cleaner programs do not pick them up either.]
    USE CARE, "REGEDIT" IS A POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS TOOL TO USE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NOT A SOMEWHAT ADVANCED USER. USE CARE WITH "REGEDIT!"
    Good luck.

  • Flash not working with any browser after update

    After an update, flash videos will not stream in any browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari). I did a clean install of flash and the browsers, but to no avail. Mac 10.10.2. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Sadly doing that did not fix my problem either.     I just tried doing that and uninstalling flash player, rebooting and then reinstalling flash and I am still having the same problem as I stated here.   http://forums.adobe.com/message/4014843#4014843
    I have checked that flash is enabled
    Unchecked hardware accerleration
    Set in the internet options to use software rendering
    Tried updating my drivers (it tells me my drivers are up to date, in any case I have only had this laptop since July)
    I even tried deleting cookies, though I use IE9 instead of firefox so I just deleted them all instead of just the one for youtube, I honestly can not find the folder for cookies anyway with this windows 7 and how it is set up to try and delete the one cookie.
    I am really at a loss as to what to do.

  • Firefox will not open in Vista SP2 after installing software for a Brother MFC printer.

    I have 7 computer network. All the machines are running Vista SP2. I recently purchased a Brother MFC 9325cw, and installed the printer/scanner drivers as well as a program called scansoft paperport on each of the machines individually.
    I left out the some of the bulkier aspects of the driver package, namely the brother control center because it seems to eat up a lot ram at start up.
    Since I have installed the printer driver on my computers, several of them will not open firefox.
    I have tried re-installing firefox on one machine so far to no avail.
    Next I will try to re-install the brother software. Has anyone else encountered this problem before?

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 let use any checkboxes on any sites, like when you read the rules and want to check the acceot checkbox. We just started using firefox alot because IE is running incredibly slow on our computer. Any ideas

    Our computer has been running terribly slow, so we switched to using Firefox and it will not let me use any checkboxes on any website. Is there a setting or anything that needs to be changed

    Many of your points are totally legitimate.
    This one, however, is not:
    …To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
    The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
    The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.
