Firefox will not load webpages: no error message, just keeps on circling

Firefox suddenly stopped loading webpages. The little circle with a ball just keeps on circling.
I had just downloaded a backup for my wordpress site, and downloaded a windows update but postponed restart. I tried restarting the computer but it didn't change anything.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

FF5: Some sites will not load, but no error messages

I'm using Firefox 5 on Windows Vista Home SP1.
Since I upgraded to FF5, some sites either simply will not load. No error messages are given - the green circle icon in the tab just keep spinning.
There's two pages that I visit daily that this happens to (though there are other pages).
For the page http://diablo.incgamers.com, on the bottom left of the page it says "Read ssl.gstatic.com".
The other page is http://www.jewelrydod.com but there's no message like the other page.
Both of those sites load properly in Chrome and in IE.
The pages also do not load in Firefox in Safe Mode.
Help?
Thanks!!!!
Paul

Version 3.6.6 and Internet explorer will not load sites, so I reloaded the older 3.6.3 of firefox and websites load fine. Internet Explorer still will not load. The error message corresponding with 3.6.6 was that there were problems with the proxy serve

Upgraded to 3.6.6 and no sites loaded, error in proxy server. Internet explorer will not load either. Reloaded firefox 3.6.3 and sites load fine, but internet explorer still will not load. I was only able to connect to yahoo messenger when websites were not loading.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.6

I have a problem with Firefox loading. It will not load and it says Firefox is using a proxy that refuses connection. Check with your network administrator. How do I get Firefox to work. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice. Any help would be great thanks.

Firefox will not load webpages and has trouble quiting

Recently, firefox has randomly stopped being able to load pages as if the wireless was not work (redirected to the cannot find server page). I would think this was a problem with the internet, but when I restart my wireless it is not fixed and my other browsers do not see the same issue. When I restart firefox it works again, but I usually have to do this several times a day. Another issue, firefox will not quit when I do command Q. The window will close but the application will not quit, and I have to go and force quit it. Background info, using Macbook, wireless internet, firefox is up to date. Thanks for your help.

Firefox will not load on a new laptop. Keeps returning "runtime error".

After loading Firefox 3.6 on a new laptop, it ran for a while. Then, it would not run. Keeps returning. "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library: Runtime error. This program has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
Uninstalling and then reinstalling the latest version of Firefox does not help the problem.
Laptop running Win7.64, 4GB RAM, i5 processor.
Thank you.

Automatic "syncing" of content (such as song files) using iTunes is generally only in one direction, from computer to iPod. So, iTunes will not put songs back on the computer's hard drive from the iPod using syncing. The assumption for syncing is that everything on the iPod is already in the computer's iTunes library.
Previous song purchases from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded at no cost from the iTunes Store Purchased screen. The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS. You need to be signed in with the Apple ID used to make the purchases.
There are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.

Firefox will not load talktalk web mail. ihave to keep reverting to 3.16 to get the service i am familiar with

i am and have used firefox for some considerable time and am abig fan!when fire fox 4 was introduced i tried it out and was impressed with the uprated performance.BUT at age 70 was introduced to computers and internetby.my bro-in-law same age was computer literate and set up my system with tiscali.it was stable and if i got into trouble because we both ran XP we could communicate despite living 70 miles apart.i for my part ran tiscali web mail service because it was clear and enabled me to keep my various interests in folders and was simple. i loaded firefox 4 but it would not load the web mail. i reverted to 3.16 and my webmail service loaded and i was able to carry on despite you system constantly imploring me to upgrade to f-f 4.unfortinately my bro-in-law died a year ago and I entered into a sevice with PC advisor published by "AGORA business publications" it was whilst i was trying to implement some of their tweeks to make XP run in concert with windows 7 from a dvd called "windows advisor" when up popped firefox 5 so i thought i would give it another go BUT same result in box quote "you have undefined new mails in your in box " how do i get them out? sorry but at 78 its past my bed-time!

Apparently TalkTalk mail will work with Firefox 4 and Firefox 5 ''if'' you set the browser to ''lie'' to TalkTalk mail by saying that you are still using version 3.6.
You can find the instructions for that in a post on the TalkTalk forums: [http://www.talktalk.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=185113#post2452787 Firefox 4 & TalkTalk webmail - Forums].
Note: when you open about:config the first time, it will display a warning message that you should be careful with the changes you make. That's definitely good to bear in mind.
Does it work?

Both Safari and Firefox will not load webpage

This is an issue in both Safari and Firefox (I use Firefox as my default, but since it's happening in Safari too, I figured I could post the problem here). I frequently visit Crate & Barrel's website and cb2.com, and as of recent I have not been able to load the site. I've tried on both my eMac (Safari and Firefox) and on my new iMac. I was able to load the page on a windows computer in my house. I'm not sure if I ever viewed their website on my iMac since it's new as of last month. On the eMac I visited the site often. Why all of the sudden would I not be able to load the website? Any help is greatly appreciated!

You have to love when Customer Service reps don't actually read your message:
To Crate & Barrel:
"I recently have not been able to access the Crate&Barrel
website on either my Apple eMac or my new iMac. However, I can access
the site on a Windows computer. I am using Firefox, so it can't be an
issue with the browser. I try to access the site using Safari and that
does not work either. I used to visit the site often on my eMac and
never had any issues loading the page. Any ideas as to what the problem
may be? And why all of the sudden? Any help is appreciated."
Crate & Barrel's Response:
"Thank you for your email.

Are you serious? Did I not mention that I was using both Safari and Firefox?

Firefox will not load to the web, even after 2nd download.

I have used firefox as a web browser because our school page works best with it. I have used firefox for over three months. This weekend firefox will not load. The screen message says unable to load web page, try again button is displayed, all to no avail.

I have XP Pro. I tried installing 3.6.15 and could not open it. I did a system restore and 3.6.14 would no longer open. I tried again installing 3.6.15 and got a message that the previous version had not uninstalled properly. Tried uninstalling.
As a precaution I used MozBackup to save my bookmarks etc. and also saved a system restore point.
I then clicked Start, My Computer, drive C, Program Files and deleted the Firefox folder.
I installed 3.6.15 and it is now working fine with all my bookmarks and addons loaded automatically.

Firefox will not load error msg: error platform version 7.0.1 is not compatible with minVersion =7.0 maxVersion 7.0

The above question. Firefox will not load. During firefox update, I stopped it and now when I click on the firefox icon, I get the above error msg

If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.

Removed working Firefox 7, Installed Firefox 10.0, Firefox will not load. When I click on icon, firefox.exe process shows briefly in task manager, then goes away....no errors, nothing

Removed working Firefox 7, Installed Firefox 10.0, Firefox will not load. When I click on icon, firefox.exe process shows briefly in task manager, then goes away....no errors, nothing. Never see browser panel at all. Also tried to install Firefox 9.0, but the same result was observed.

Rather difficult to say what the problem may be at present but for general info please have a look at
* [[safe mode]]
*[[firefox will not start]]
*[[firefox hangs]]
Note sometimes you may have to wait a while for firefox to shutdown completly, and if it has hung then as explained in the above articles you may need to kill any firefox.exe process that is still running (and maybe plugincontainer.exe)
Try starting firefox in [[safe mode]] e.g. by holding down shift key
* do not make any changes in the first window, just click on continue ? Do you get as far as seeing the options window for safe mode ?
If firefox is crashing see [[firefox crashes]], this is easier to work through if you can get firefox to start without crashing on startup. Currently some firefox users are finding Firefox 10 crashes on startup, and a new version Firefox 10.0.1 is being released very soon to deal with this and another cause of hangs.
Not saying any of this applies to your case but recent issues include
* ask tool bar causing hangs if video is used none English versions [/forums/contributors/708073]
* possibly some crashes do not start the crash reporter and other issues [/forums/contributors/708122?page=2#post-45059]
* some general info about current crashes [/questions/917748#answer-308124]

Safaru will not open crashes with error message

I have Yosemite and my Safari will not open, giving me error message..Help..Thanks, Jo

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.
