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?

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 load ANY websites

    When I open Firefox and IE, neither one will load ANY website entered into address bar. However Google Chrome will. So I know that the Internet Connection is fine. Not sure what else to do.

    If you aren't able to connect in Firefox, but can connect with other programs, the most common cause is a firewall. See [[Firewalls]] for instructions on configuring firewalls. (Make sure you configure all firewalls that are installed)
    Another possibility is that you are in offline mode. Make sure "Work offline" in the File menu is ''unchecked''.
    For other causes, see [[Error loading web sites]]

  • Firefox will not load any websites, continues to say "Problem Loading Page". However I have a full internet connection and Internet Explorer works.

    I also tried to uninstall and reinstall multiple times and Firefox will still not load pages.

  • Firefox will not load any website, it just tries until it times out, is there a security setting either inside or outside of Firefox that might be causing this to happen?

    Firefox was operating normally until I ran a virus scan. I have tried everything I can think of. The computer is connected to the internet because other applications are working and even updated from Microsoft are downloading. I am running XP. Everything else seems to be working as it should.

    I've cleared cache, I do not use a proxy.. The problem occurs both running Firefox normally AND in safe-mode.. As I said earlier in this thread, this laptop is used almost exclusively at starbucks/mcdonalds hotspots.. One thing I've noticed is that when I'm at a starbucks which has google wifi vs the old attwifi, I often do not get any "splashpage", and am immediately connected to the internet, in which case FF comes up perfectly normally, and I don't have to use Chrome to "check the box"... Its pretty darned annoying.. Since this occurs in safe-mode, where, as I understand it, there are NO addins loaded, this has got to be FF itself demanding access to the internet prior to it fully starting.. As I also said earlier, when I start FF just after booting the system, I see FF as a zombie process when I do a "ps -xua" (this is Debian/testing/64bit). Once I have internet access, apparently that zombie process becomes non-zombie (is that even possible??)

  • Firefox will not load any website, it says unable to connect, how can I fix this?

    Every url I type in it comes up with unable to connect and firefox cant establish a connection! its like it's not even got a connection but i can get on the internet at the same time with internet explorer! I have tried disabling the IPv6 and Prefetch and still unable to connect! i have changed the proxy to no proxy and still unable to connect.

    That was probably caused by your Firewall blocking the newly installed version of Firefox.
    No known security issues with Firefox 3.6.17, which was just released this past week.

  • The firefox page constantly says "Connecting" and will not load any websites. I've also updated the firefox software via internet explorer with the same reslults can you help?

    Internet explorer works perfectly and firefox will not load any websites

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Firefox will not load any web page, other programs will. Continuously "connecting"

    Firefox will not load any pages, but Google Chrome will. Firefox will 'load' the home page, but with any other site, the tab will continuously circle and say "connecting". I have tried clearing my cache, starting in safe mode, and restarting my computer. So far, nothing is working.

    Update..when I open firefox from scratch, the main firefox pages on the home page seem to work. But as soon as I try to go anywhere else, IE going to a website in the address bar or even trying to access the defauly bookmark links, it just sits there loading but never brings anything up.

  • Firefox will not load any web pages

    Firefox will not load any web pages. I have tried every suggestion on the support page, deleted the program and reinstalled it 4 times, and ran a malware scan. None of these have solved the problem.

    We've got a whole [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/web-pages-dont-load troubleshooting section on failure to load pages]. Have you looked through any of that information? There is a ton of useful stuff there.

  • Firefox does not load any websites now, after working well earlier today.

    Firefox is not working now - it does not load any websites. Message on screen says:- "8e6 Mobile Client - internet browsing is not possible at this time. Error:80001001".
    What I was doing before the problem:-
    I had spent time re-organising My Documents.
    One folder in My Docuamnts called "High Windows" contained the file "2101HighWin.msi", which I attempted to open.
    What I have done since the Firefox problem:-
    I have tried to uninstall 8e6 Mobile Client, but it won't let me.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox.
    I have used InternetExplorer8 to search thru the Mozilla troubleshooting pages.
    Please can you help?
    Cheers,
