Firefox will not open certain pages,

It will not open my BT emails or flickr but when I use IE they work perfectly. I have cleared my history/cache/cookies and run a virus check, no malware.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I was having the same problem and it was driving me INSANE because every solution I found on the internet said "just use Firefox!" (my default browser). It doesn't matter whether it's Firefox, Safari, Netscape, Opera, whatever, the computer was NOT accessing these sites. It seemed to coincide with a recent OS update, but maybe that's just my imagination.
Then my sister-in-law came over with her totally identical MacBook and complained of having the exact same problem accessing the same sites!
On top of this, I had no problem accessing these on my iMac in Chicago last week (running the same OS and software), so I concluded it had to be our router.
In my case, it was solved by simply rebooting the router. Have you tried this? It seems so simple, but now I can access every site that I was having trouble with. You might have to reconfigure something on your router, I don't know much about this. But my general conclusion is that something was wrong with the way the MacBook and router were communicating. Sorry I can't be more specific!

Firefox will not open any pages

Two days ago my computer would let me open firefox, but it will not display any of the pages - not even my home page. It tells me it is done at the bottom of the screen but nothing is showing up. I prefer to use firefox, but I am having to use another broser.

A new version of Firefox was released 2 days ago, so it is possible that a Firewall is blocking the new version of Firefox. For details on that see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

Firefox will not open web pages that are called from the mail program that comes with Vista, anyone out there have a solution?

I have installed Firefox ver 4 on a Toshiba laptop running Vista. My problem is when using the mail client that comes with Vista any url in an email message will not load in the browser, a new tab is created and has the url from the mail message but that is as far as I get. There is no revolving icon on the new tab and clicking on reload does nothing. So far this is happening with every website I have tried. There is no error message of any kind. The websites are working sites and can be opened if I navigate to them manually

Hi,
Please check if this happens in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile].

All of a sudden my FireFox will not open any pages.

When I log onto FF and try to open any page, it says problem loading page. What can I do to make it work again?

Restart your iPad, your printers, and your router.

Firefox Will not open any pages; connection reset... Every time!!!!!!

Firefox gives me the connection reset error message on play.google.com or the get add ons page. Every time. Had to use chrome to post this question. I have uninstalled/reinstalled 6 times, reset to factory 4 times, yet all of my add ons and plugins are still there even though i tell it to remove user data. I have tried every troubleshooting tip i could find. NOTHING. please help!!!!!!

Have you tried manually removing Firefox and all of its data. If not, follow the steps below:
# Located the Firefox installation root
# Delete it
# Type <code>%appdata%</code> in Run window
# Open the folder entitled <code>Mozilla</code>
# Delete the folder entitle <code>Firefox</code>
WARNING: Removing folders/files can cause damage to other programs and the Windows operating system. use caution when manually deleting folders/files

Firefox will NOT load multiple pages at once, Help!

I cannot get Firefox to load multiple pages at once. If I try this, they will continue to show the "load"/"refresh" symbol forever and ever (at least half an hour by the time I got fed up). I can load one page at a time but even then it takes quite a long time for the page to fully load - god forbid the page has images on it because then it might take up to 10 minutes to fully load.
Sometimes if I try to load multiple pages and then "x" out of them and try to do it one by one, it simply refuses to load ANY of the pages.
I can load multiple pages at one time in IE on my computer, I can load single pages in IE without delay. I can do the same thing in Safari on a desktop mac in the house. So NO, it is NOT my internet connection, thanks.
For God's sake, I'm sending this complaint/question in IE because I KNOW it won't send in firefox. How messed up is that?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

Itunes will open on my computer, but the actual itunes store will not open, blank page...HELP

I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes store pop up like they normally would when browsing the itunes store but when I click on one of them, it is a blank page. Is there a setting I need to change? Does it just take an extremely long time to load? Please help!!

Bucktr09:
I'm having the exact same problem. I upgraded to the newest version of iTunes on my iMac and ever since I did the store is a blank white screen. I can get my library content but the store is a no go. Is there any one out there with a solution?

Firefox will not open after attempting to upgrade to v5, sys restore didn't help

Was running 3.6 with no problems, but trying to upgrade today apparently broke it. The upgrade failed for some reason (the old .exe is still the only one in the Firefox folder & I can't find any files newer than April 2010 in there), but no matter how I try to run it, nothing happens - Firefox will not open, period. I tried reverting to last week with sys restore, scanning for malware with Malwarebytes, but still nothing happens. I'm using WinXP 5.1 media edition SP2 (yes, it's been around a few years but it works for me). I'm now using Chrome which seems to run just fine, tho I miss all my plugins.

Hi lwhealon
try from Start > Run > and type to check 1 of :
firefox -safe-mode
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode '''or'''
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
(to enable the Run box in win 7 see: [http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tims/archive/2006/09/18/windows-vista-secret-3-bringing-back-start-run.aspx enable Run box win 7] )
also check if [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls Firewall] or/and other security software blocking firefox start (like ad-blocker, web-accelerator etc).
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application With Firefox completely closed] (probably because you can not start it), open the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory application folder] (by default, C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox on Windows) rename firefox.exe to firefox1.exe, then double-click firefox1.exe. If Firefox runs without problems, it could indicate that your firewall is blocking Firefox.
good luck

Firefox will not open...please help.

My Mozilla Firefox will not open any windows, although it does start and show as running in my task manager. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it twice now and restarted my computer twice.
I CANNOT start Firefox in safe mode by holding down shift or using the "firefox/safe" in the run box.
I've tried it with applications closed, and open....I've tried it online and offline, I tried to run it in compatibility mode, I checked my computer for viruses...nothing helps.
I have read every troubleshooting item here but they only say try safe mode, or do something from Firefox when it is open such as reset it. I have no add-ons or extensions on Firefox and it just worked yesterday...also my computer is brand new Windows 8.1 12GB ram 2TB harddrive and everything else works fine.
please help

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!

Firefox will not open to home page as directed in options and settings. Opening in safe mode makes no difference, either. Any ideas?

Firefox will not open to home page as set in the settings. Even in safe mode, it still will not open to home page as directed. It seems to want to open to last set of tabs, even though that is not the way it was set in settings. It seems as though the settings do not have any impact on the way it behaves!!!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded 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.
