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.

Firefox would open on Vista but would not connect with any website. I had to download Firefox again using IE in order for it to function. What's going on?

Using Firefox 6.0. No connectivity with any website yesterday.
The download was 5.0.1; which is now working and retains all features of the previous version including

You do not have the properties in the Bookmarks Manager (Library), but you should have it if you right-click a bookmark the Bookmarks Toolbar or in the bookmarks sidebar.
On Mac you probably do not have it if you right-click an item in the Bookmarks menu (this menu is under control of the Mac OS), but I assume that this should work if you click the "Show your bookmarks" button on the Navigation Toolbar that is next to the star to bookmark the current tab and right-click an item in the bookmarks list that opens.

WIFI and mobile data connections not connecting with any other outside WIFI networks. Bluetooth not working in car. Any solution?

After installed iOS7 I am facing the following two problems:
1. WIFI as well as mobile data connection are working fine at my home. But, not connecting with any other outside WIFI networks. Error message is 'unable to join network'. Mobile data also not connected outside my home. Sometimes wifi and mobile data connect outside my home when I turn off and on the phone.
2. Bluetooth, in my car, paires well and incoming and out going calls can be received and made. The problem is no sound out put from speakers.
Apple please make note of the above problems (of million people) and give solution before giving any other updations for painting and tinkering the screens.

Check this thread, the same solution might work for you:

Firefox won't connect to any website, but other browsers will.

When I enter something in the URL bar -- google.com, localhost, http://127.0.0.1/ an IP address, there's a split second flash, then the bar becomes empty again and nothing has happened. It looks like Firefox isn't even trying to connect to the internet.
Yesterday, all was well when I was running FF on Windows 7. After the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro, Firefox failed. I upgraded again to Windows 8.1, hoping for the best, but it's the same problem.
I have walked through the firewall issue, several times (the only one running is Windows' built-in firewall). I eventually uninstalled Firefox, including all my custom settings, and reinstalled from scratch, twice. And even this pure, clean version of Firefox will not connect to the internet.
I'm a computer-literate web developer and would be happy to look at log files, or run some tool (Fiddler?) to see what's happening at a low level, if only I knew where to look.

Others with similar problems please look at the article
* [[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]
MM..,
mm... That just about sums up my thought on reading your question. Rather odd this one. I will list some brief ideas and number them to make them easier to refer to or comment on.
Obviously this does not affect all Firefox 27 on Windows 8. It must be something fairly specific to your setup. I have no idea what your problem is and you have tried some of the obvious troubleshooting steps.
Rather a general shotgun approach but the best I can do is suggest this list
# Clean Install Presumably you will have tried deleting the program path files in order to get a clean install. [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox]]_5-reinstall-firefox (See also note about ESR install)
# Firefox SafeMode will also have been tried [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] Remembering to disable or uninstall plugins, safemode does not do that.
# Try a new clean additional test Profile. [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles#w_creating-a-profile]]_creating-a-profile
#Windows Safe Mode
# Install and try Firefox ESR http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/
#* As a developer you are probably interested in using that anyhow. Either a customised install as an additional browser http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions#Installing_multiple_versions Or use the unofficial Firefox portable. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox-portable-esr
#* Helps rule out: Firefox code or feature regressions, Corrupted program files
#* Should quickly enable you to see a working Firefox again
# Run scans for malware problems with multiple tools
#* [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
# Is it only network problems ? Confirm you are you able to open local html files on the same partition ?
# Firefox's Network Console should throw light on the situation. There is also the Firefox Error Console and Profiler (Profiler is now built in)

Firefox will not connect to any website

I use Firefox to connect to the internet, on a WindowsXP and Windows 7 machine. A day or two ago, both had updates added on shut down. Now, Firefox doesn't work on the Windows 7 machine. Error message looks like: "Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.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."
Internet Explorer works. Added Mozilla to list of allowed sites on the Firewall, still same message. Removed and reloaded Mozilla, still same message. I assume the Microsoft update prevents Mozilla (the old "DOS ain't done till LOTUS won't run" updated to "Windows ain't done till Firefox won't run") from working.

Firefox will no longer open any website, not even a Mozilla support page. Resetting, even with add-ons disabled, has not helped.

The question explains the whole thing. No web page will open at all, except for the blank Firefox page. Typing in an address, clicking on a site in the history, opening a new tab and working from it - nothing works. I've reset it twice, restarted with add-ons disabled. All with the same result. (I just clicked on the Show Details link at the bottom of this page, and nothing happened.

hello susnyk, please see [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]] &
[[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]

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
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet?esab=a&s=Configure+firewalls+&r=0&as=s Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}

Firefox cannot connect to any websites, although other browsers have no trouble doing so..

I had a problem with a Seagate drive and they connectd remotely to my computer. Hundreds of Windows showed up as part of making the conection and FireFox crashed.
I have since:
* Uninstalled Firefox
* Downloaded a new copy (it fwould not work)
* Followed all advice I could find on the Mozilla support site including clearing all history
Still Firefox will not connect to any website. Here is the error message I get:
Unable to connect:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at nytimes.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.

Firefox 6 won't settle down as the next release Firefox 7 is already planned to be released later this month.
You shouldn't be using Firefox 5 because it doesn't have the patch to disable the DigiNotar certificates that was the reason for Firefox 6.0.2. 
Using unsupported Firefox versions is at your own risk and makes you vulnerable to attacks.

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.

TS1398 I have an Iphone 5 and it will not connect to any WIFI networks - I have tried following the steps above (including reseting network settings) but it just says 'incorrect password' every time. How can I resolve this?

you have definitely tried the correct steps, all you would need to do now is a back up & restore to factory settings. If after that the issue remains then you would most likely need a replacement unit.

An automated update has rendered my laptop Firefox browser unable to connect to any websites, how do I fix this issue?

When the update for my browser took place, on 5/5/14 @ approximately 12:15 am, it rendered the browser unable to connect to any websites. It does work in safe mode, but not in regular mode. I am on an hp pavilion dv7, running windows 7. I need to resolve this issue ASAP. Or I will have to switch browsers, which I don't want to do, as I have used Firefox for many years. Can I get some assistance to rectify the problem?

Can you start by giving us the troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having problems. This is an essential step in troubleshooting. 
*Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the sub-menu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
*At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

We want to bring back the control over your data access, LeRoyN! Thanks to rcschnoor for offering this support. Also may I ask what type of error messages are you seeing when attempting the connection? Have you been able to connect to these same networks in the past?
Thank you,

Account 2:
Not an administrator.
Parental Controls is currently on, and the only website allowed is /www.weather.govThe National Weather Service.

My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this?

My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this? I have restarted my computer multiple times, **** it down, and ran a diagnostic test to tell me nothing is wrong and my computer is not running any applications. There is no reason for the fan to be on full blast! when I try to set the option to show my battery icon in the menu bar, it will automatically uncheck. How do I fix all of this?

Have you tried SMC and PRAM resets?
