Firefox will not open any website and I have done what your help section has instructed. after it updated quit working.

After Firefox updated I cannot open any website but explorer can. I have done everything your help site suggested. I like firefox and would like to keep using it. Can you help? I am using windows vista 64 bit operating system.

After upgrading, sometimes your firewall will not recognize the new Firefox version and, therefore, not allow it to access the internet. To remedy that situation,
#you must remove Firefox from your firewall's allowed applications list,
#then restart firefox, go to a website, the firewall will detect the new Firefox version and
#then give the necessary permissions for your firewall to allow Firefox access to the internet

  • Firefox Will Not Open Any Websites

    Well, no one seems to be able to address this. My Explorer is working fine, but after updating my Firefox, it's as dead as a door nail.
    You know, I first started using Firefox because Explorer just wasn't stable. And for awhile, Firefox was the answer to my problems. But then it began adding search bars and other crap, and the next thing I knew, Firefox began shutting down and then starting back up with an "Ooops, this is embarrassing!" message.
    For computer users, stability (not features) is everything. I know Mozilla has to add on all these crappy search functions to put meat on the table, but Google is still the best. I just reinstalled Firefox with no improvement. I wish they had a "roll back" feature so we could go back to the previous version.
    Now I'm trying to post this message and am getting an error message saying, "You must specify a post subject!" And guess what? There's no place that will accept a post subject!
    Very strange....

    '''''"after updating my Firefox, it's as dead as a door nail"'''''
    Your firewall is probably not recognizing the new version and is blocking its connection. Clear all references to Firefox from your firewall's program list, let the firewall re-detect the new Firefox version, and give it the proper permissions to connect. See:

    '''''"it began adding search bars and other crap"'''''
    The toolbars/search tools are probably piggy-backing on other things you are downloading and installing on your system. This most frequently happens when downloading "free" software; nothing is really "free", is it. Before downloading, carefully read everything and notice any mention of a toolbar or search engine. During the installation, look for an opt-out to check or un-check for the "extras". I have attached a couple of examples in the lower left corner of my post (from ClamWin Free Anti-virus and Foxit Reader).

    You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.
    You can try to disable IPv6<br />

  • Updated to android 2.3 on my htc evo 4g and now firefox will not open any tabs?

    I've been using Firefox 4 since first few weeks of release and all was great with Android 2.2 on my htc evo 4g. Now updated to 2.3 this past weekend and Firefox will not open any tabs. Have resorted to using stock Dolphin... :(
    I miss Firefox. What is the fix?

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

  • Firefox will not open ANY site. Wont work AT ALL. Nothing seems to be working.

    Firefox will not open ANY site. It worked last night, but not today. I uninstalled it many times, didn't worked. It displays the screen that says "unable to connect" yet chrome and explorer both work. I have disconnected and reconnected a few times, restarted my laptop, neither of those worked either. I have also tried turning "safe mode" off after re installing firefox, but again, that did not work. I need help :(.
    Although, before this, firefox was not letting me use voice recording sites or any site that let me watch television online. It would load the commercials, but not play the episode. It wouldn't even let me upload pictures to photobucket. However, it worked using chrome or explorer.

    Looks like a bunch of people have this problem. Anyone got any ideas to fix this???

  • Firefox will not open any new tabs since windows update

    I have windows 7 64, and recently, when windows automatically updated, my firefox will not open any new tabs, manually or when opening a link...

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

  • Please help - Firefox will not open. library - applications - and no firefox is listed to get to my profile manager. . What's next?

    firefox has been running slower. When this happens I'll reboot my computer and this speeds up firefox. When I restarted the computer firefox would not open. Just the spinning wheel with no access to the tools.
    After I force quit - it says ignore or notify/report to apple. I tried sending a report, and it ques up the box with details, system config, etc... but when I click on send - it will not let me send one - I've never been unable to send a report before.
    I uninstalled, then reinstalled. Upon opening I get the spinning wheel and nothing happens - I need to force quit. I see on this mozilla help site that I need to update my profile manager. I followed these instructions - Finding your profile without opening Firefox Open Finder and go to your home folder. Note: your home folder is usually the name of your Mac user account From your home folder open /Library/, then /Application Support/, then /Firefox/, then /Profiles/. Your​ prof​ile ​fold​er is with​in this​ fold​er. but when I got to library - application support - there is no firefox listed.

    You can do a disk check with the chkdsk.exe program.
    If you run the chkdsk.exe program from a cmd.exe Command window then you can read the response from the chkdsk.exe program.
    Open a cmd.exe window:<br />
    Start &gt; Run: cmd.exe &lt;press Enter&gt;
    At the command prompt (>) type or Copy&Paste: chkdsk.exe /f /r &lt;press Enter&gt; (put a space before /f and /r)
    If you get something like: Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? y/n then answer the question with "Y" and close all programs and reboot the computer.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox 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.

    I am an ordinary user and use FireFox on a Windows XP pro sp2 OS.
    I can open and run FireFox by a variety of methods, and do not need to have any firefox: folders, files, or shortcuts on my Desktop unless I so wish.
    I suspect you have a rather none standard installation. The quickest solution may well be to uninstall FireFox ( which you have presumably not been able to use anyway) and reinstall it. I would suggest; at least initially; you just use the standard default installation you are offered.
    You will probably find this page of use, the [http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/3.6.13/releasenotes/ Release Notes], it includes links for downloading FireFox, and has advice and information about installing and downloading.
    I am sure you will have further questions when you try to install but click on the blue link above and look at that page and then post back again and I am sure someone will try to help you.
    I am assuming that you are already on the Internet with a browser such as Internet Explorer, and a broadband connection, or are you trying to install from a CD or something that has a FireFox install file on it. (if so what are you using, and what is the version of firefox)

  • Firefox will not open any pdf files

    FF will not open any pdf files with built in viewer or adobe. I have set applications in all different ways with no luck. PDF works with IE.
    I have ff 33.1.1 and Win 7 and i have tried all suggestions concerning pdf. I even downloaded ff again, uninstalled oldff, and installed new. no luck. all i get is a pop up stating ...download is in progress, please wait.... but it never loads. started after last update. Is ther a way to delete the last update to firefox?
    thanks

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
    #In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Firefox will not open any webpages, but other browsers work. How can I fix it?

    Firefox will not load any web pages. I recently ran a registry cleaner/virus scan on my computer and now Firefox 5 will not load ''any''webpages. It displays a "Problems Loading Page" error message. Other browsers still work. I tried uninstalling and re-installing firefox, even restoring to a previous restore point, but nothing seems to work. How can I fix this?

  • Firefox quit working will not open any websites at all. Bookmarks and Menu are gone too.

    Mozilla was updating itself and zonealarm wanted me to allow it while I was in middle of a online school test question so I clicked deny just to try and finish the test. This did nothing but keep opening the zonealarm window to see if the update could be done, which I finally did but now mozilla is not working on any websites and i've uninstalled it and reinstalled it and also added the update settings but its not working. passwords and now im basically locked out of them.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that 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.
