Firefox will not work without WiFi on Metropcs 4g lte network

I can use Firefox on WiFi but if I am using the 4G network I just get a message that I must sign up for the MetroPCS Hotspot plan. That makes no sense. I'm not trying to tether with my phone. I can use the built in browser and Chrome but, Firefox is a complete fail without staying on WiFi at all times.

This likely depends on Firefox's user agent.
If you have installed the desktop by default extension you should uninstall that, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/desktop-by-default/
If you don't have that extension install then would you install the Phony extension and try the various user agents listed? We suspect that MetroPCS is lumping Firefox for Android with desktop Firefox. Setting the user agent to one of the Chrome values or iOS values should allow Firefox to use the MetroPCS network. Please let us know if that works around the issue.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/phony/
Unfortunately if MetroPCS is blocking all Firefox user agents this is something that MetroPCS will need to fix. We can try to contact them but feedback from their customers can be more effective.

    Things to note:
    I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
    I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
    any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
    It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

  • I started working for ChaCha, and now firefox will not work unless I manually close it in the process tree every time I want to use it. I also cannot open more than 1 page at a time.

    I started working for ChaCha 11/26/2010, I had to download a program to take incoming questions.
    Ever since then, Firefox will not work correctly, even if I am totally logged out of ChaCha, and the page is closed, if I try to open my browser using Firefox, it will not open, I have to go into the processor tree and manually end Firefox, then it will work, but it will only let me open 1 page at a time. For example I have Firefox open now, but if I go and click on the icon to open it in a new browser, it will not open, I either have to close this, or use IE-I HATE IE lol.
    I cannot use the ChaCha add on you have because it is not for the new version of Firefox, please help, I love Firefox, but not being able to open more than one window/page at a time does not cut it, nor does having to manually stop it from processing. I have tried re-installing it too.
    Thank you, Melinda

    I should add that I face the same problem with Safari and Google Chrome.

    Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.

  • How come my music will not play without wifi??

    How come my music will not play without wifi??

    It happens when you download from two or more different Apple IDs often. It says you must waut 90 days before you can play it without wifi. So in 90 days, try to download again.
    Good luck!

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 and tried to launch it. The message said that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OX. Please advise.

    I downloaded Firefox 4 and installed it. When I tried to launch it, a message came up saying that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OSX. Now I have no Firefox. How can I get Firefox 3.6 back on my Mac? How can I make Firefox 4.0 work? Please advise.

    Thanks for the reply so quickly! Is the tenfourfox going to be be just as safe and as high of quality as the Firefox 4? Also since Mozilla's website says, "Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 4" does that mean if I go back to 3.6 there will be security and stability issues after a "short amount of time"?

  • URGENT: Sorry, Expander will not work without the Stuffit Engine...

    hallo,
    I want to watch a show of myself on Time Warner Cable TODAY live ONLINE while being in Europe, so it is urgent:
    sometimes when I try to install a software I get the following error message:
    'Sorry, Expander will not work without the Stuffit Engine. Please reinstall the original installer.'
    Just now I wanted to install 'Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X' and got that error message. Any suggestions?
    THANKS YOU!
    1 GHz PowerPC G4 (3.3)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    "Any suggestions? "
    Obviously you need to reinstall Stuffit Expander. Download it from Stuffit.com.
    Also, forget about Windows Media Player. It's out dated, and not even made anymore. Download the free Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin from Flip4Mac.com
    Hope that was urgent enough...

  • The pop-up will not work without locking up

    Adobe Muse does not work with the Swedish version in Windows 7. The pop-up will not work without locking up.

  • My Ipod 4th gen will not work without the charger.

    My ipod nano 4th gen will not work without the charger.

    How much it costs depends on who you have replace the battery whether that be Apple or a 3rd party repair company.  Here are Apple's prices.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    It would likely be much cheaper to have a 3rd party company do it instead.  One company I have heard a lot of good things about is iResq.  For others, do a simple Google search for "iPod battery repair" and you should get a plethora of results.

    I don't believe Radio Shack does offer that service.  Sorry.

  • I just spent an hour composing a reply in a thread ("Firefox will not work with paypal"), only to see "You don't have permission" at Submit - total loss!

    I was logged in to reply in the thread "Firefox will not work with paypal". I spent the better part of an hour carefully composing that reply, testing cases, providing links, etc... [Hint: Firefox, unlike other browsers, has a problem with scripts from server paypalobjects.com.] Because I had taken so long to compose the reply, it seemed like a good idea to check it via the Preview button, but I got a message that that function was not available. Of course I decided to submit it anyway, but when I hit "Submit" I got a message "You don't have permission ..." - at which point I was (stupidly) on a different page with that message, and everything I had composed was gone!

    It might be too late for this, but it's what I use when this happens. Prepare for deep nerdom:
    * Open the web console below the error page by pressing Ctrl+Shift+k
    * Right-click the blank area and turn on logging of the request and response bodies
    * Resubmit the request by clicking the reload button
    * Click the new URL that appears to open the viewer showing the headers and bodies
    There you may be able to copy out the content of your post from the Request Body. You can use a word processor or text editor to find/replace the + characters back to spaces.

  • HT201436 Hello, my name is brad and I recently had a voicemail app that I was using and now i got rid of it. But now my voicemail for the phone will not work. I tried to reset the network settings and nothing happened. I was wondering if you could help me

    Hello, my name is brad and I recently had a voicemail app that I was using and now i got rid of it. But now my voicemail for the phone will not work. I tried to reset the network settings and nothing happened. I was wondering if you could help me out?

    When you set up a voicemail redirection, usually you have to remove that redirection from the account that redirected it.  Like Google Voice, if you activate Google Voice to receive your voicemail, you will have to log into voice.google.com to turn it off.  If you contact your carrier, they can tell you exactly what program has taken over your voicemail functionality just in case you are stuck, but if you know the name of that App, I'm sure you will be able to figure it out.  Hope this helps you out.

  • After last Windows update, Firefox will not work

    I am running Vista Business OS. and FF beta 4.x
    After the latest updates (installed automatically) on Wed, April 27, Firefox will not load. When I click on the icon, I get the "busy" and then.......nothing. It does show as a running process, but nothing comes up on the screen. I have re-downloaded and re-installed it, but nothing. IE does come up, but Chrome does not.
    It seems like MS blocked FF with the latest updates.
    If I revert to the restore point before the updates were installed, FF works fine.
    Help!

    I uninstalled KB 2446708 (Security Update for .NET Framework 4) ... took forever to uninstall, like 20 minutes.... And now Firefox starts up normally!
    By the way, my Firefox is version 3.6.17, running on Windows Vista 64bit. I try to avoid all the new updates like IE9. Perhaps I should try avoiding .NET Framework 4 as well.

  • Apple Mail will not work without webmail login

    Spontaneously 2 weeks ago I got a triangle next to my Apple Mail Inbox and could neither send nor receive email. I have used ATT for DSL and my email address for over two years without this problem. I have checked all my settings with ATT and they claim they have even "rebuilt" my mailbox and all is good. But unless I use a browser to log into webmail first, Mail will not work. The user name/password/port info is all correct, but Mail cannot connect. Even when the "keep me logged in" box is checked when I log in to webmail, Mail will stop working if I close out the browser and put the computer to sleep. This is driving me crazy.

    I've had what sounds very similar issue with another DSL ISP: Qwest.
    Ran both Comcast & Qwest simultaneously (alternately, not really concurrently)
    for awhile & got sporadic blips & failures to connect.
    I never could establish conclusively whether it was the ISP, or a local client problem.
    I think its the ISP. Had other email annoyances with them that never quite got resolved
    Sometimes my mail was left on the webmail server & never got delivered & would do so, same as you describe.
    Its never anyone's fault, or problem...
    I doubt they'd tell you if it was an issue on their end, if it not resolved.
