Firefox won't establish a connection. Please help
Hello,
My Mozilla Firefox has worked for ages and all of a sudden when my father tried to open it, it came up with a message saying:
'Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.ebay.com.au.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.'
I have checked all the settings and everything looks right, my internet is connected fine, other apps using the internet works fine, I have checked the fire wall and I have tried to troubleshoot problems. Nothing seems to be working it just keeps saying the same thing. I don't know what else to do, can someone please help me? I need to get it working before tomorrow because my father uses it and he knows how to use it and where everything is. Please, please help.
Thank-you heaps!
Zoe
UAC is turned off ?

thanks

i have also tried many ways to access them but none of the solution worked, one of them was checking troubleshooting problems and it detected that the remote device won't accept the connection, so, how can i fix this?You can check the connection settings.

Our power suddenly went out and now Firefox can't establish a connection. How do I fix it?
Our power suddenly went out and when I turned the computer back on and opened Firefox, this is the message I get while trying any web page:
Unable to connect.
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.etsy.com.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.Maybe the Firefox rules in the firewall got damaged.
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.<br />
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.<br />
Download a fresh copy of Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html ) and do a reinstall of Firefox on top of the current version.<br />
If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox. -

Hello
I have installed N1 system manager but when i try to open its web page there is an error occur on web page which is i paste below. Any body help me. please i shell be thank full to u.
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.50.28:6789The error you're saying suggests, that your N1SM isn't either configured or didn't start up properly.
N1SM was EOLed (end of life) long time ago & doesn't support any newer systems or S10 updates
Also it's slowly nearing EOSL (end of supported life).
N1SM was replaced by xVM Ops Center, which was released as of version 2.0 two weeks ago.
I strongly suggest you ask your local Sun representative for xVMOC and disregard N1SM.

Have an error saying 'Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:50972. '
I bought a product called 'Helium Music Streamer' and downloaded it. I registered the product and went to launch it..
only it wouldnt launch.
It had the error 'Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:50972.'
I would be glad for some help
'Hi, in case you haven't solved your problem - here's what i've discovered based on having same issue. where IE proxy system settings automatically allows local host url access; It appears FF system proxy or auto-detect does not, it's settings blocks local host URL access. To access local host, "no proxy" settings should allow or, only way to allow this exception (or any other exceptions) is through their manual settings. You should see in manual settings that the local host is already set to be allowed through.
FF also has plug-ins available which allows you to configure multiple proxy settings/profiles that you can toggle between based on your connection needs. THis way, when you want to use local host you can select it's proxy profile and go back to default proxy settings for regular web surfing, etc
Hope this helps you. -
I tunes 11 freezes under windows 7 64-bit immediately and won´t do anything. Please help
itunes 11 freezes under windows 7 64-bit immediately and won`t do anything. Please help !
The first thing to do is make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes. Look on the Help/Check for updates menu option in iTunes, which will confirm that you have the latest version or enable you to download it.
The effective way to Sync the iPod is to add your songs to iTunes and then connect the iPod to iTunes after you have added your songs.
So if you have been connecting the iPod and then trying to add songs "to the iPod" - don't!
You add the music to iTunes and then sync the iPod with iTunes afterwards.
Next, try connecting the iPod to iTunes, if you get the "duplicate file message", can you post it here (exact wording please)?
Once you have the iPod connected to iTunes, click on the Device that appears on the left of the iTunes window. On the Device/Summary screen, choose (check) Sync only checked songs and videos. Providing the songs still have the check mark on in iTunes (the default when songs are added to iTunes), those songs will Sync with the iPod.
Notice the other options in additiion to Summary. Look on the Podcasts pane for the Sync option (to add Podcasts to your iPod) and also on the Photos pane for options for adding (or not) Photos to your iPod. If you change any of these options, you will need to press the Sync button afterwards for the changes to take effect.
Lastly (for now), you can only Sync the iPod with one iTunes library. If you try and Sync it with a second library on your computer, or with iTunes on another computer, all your previous songs etc will be removed and replaced with the new library.
A thought... could the duplicate file message be because you have two iTunes libraries on your machine? -

when I use oracle 11 and have it set in automatic (in services) it operates properly. (after restart) When I have it in manual (in services) i get the message 'Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:1158.'
We use the computer for various instructors but only one uses Oracle. With oracle in auto it takes for ever to log in (2 mins or more), when it is in manual it takes 10 secs for log in.you mean the local.profile?
i have the next values
export ORACLE_BASE=/export/home/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/export/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
export ORACLE_SID=XXX
export ORACLE_TERM=xterm
export ORACLE_OWNER=oracle

JAVA_BIN=/usr/jdk1.6.0_33/bin; export JAVA_BIN
PATH=/usr/jdk1.6.0_33/bin:$PATH; export PATH
& All Matches with the path of the installations of oracle & java

How do I add a playlist to iTunes Match so that it'll appear on my Apple TV? It was appeared on it before but ever since I added some CDs to the playlist, it won't show anymore. Please help.
When new content is added to a playlist it has to be updated for it to be available across devices. If it's content that isn't matched the playlist is removed from the cloud. Did you make sure to access store - update iTunes Match? It should do it automatically after a few minutes but the odd time I have to force it.
Other than that may want to try reboot, log out/in. -
Windows performed an automatic update on my PC this morning. Now, Firefox does not work other than in SAFE mode. I get "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server..." I downloaded and reinstalled the latest version of Firefox and get the same error message. IE works. MS Outlook works. What did Windows do to me this time?
You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.
See "Firefox connection settings":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+cannot+load+websites+but+other+programs+can
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.

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at google.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.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.
