Firefox won't load any pages at all! I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but no luck. My IE works, but I much prefer Firefox! Help?
Early this morning, my firefox was working perfectly fine. Yet this evening, it won't load any web pages - only IE will. (I hate IE, much prefer FF!)
I tried to uninstall then reinstall firefox, but it didn't help at all. I've tried tons of different sites, but nothing is coming up.
What do I do?

** FIXED **
I had this problem where I work but it was fine on my home pc. When Firefox upgraded, it detected a proxy on my work network and started to use it even though my previous settings were set to no proxy.
Now all my pages load and my 'find updates' for addons work.
signed,
Relieved.

Will cs5 work on Mac Yosemite?
Upgrading Yosemite breaks the CS5 install, so you need to uninstall/reinstall CS5 to fix it.
Update Yosemite to 10.10.1 Then reinstall.
The install sets CS5 back to 12.0.0, so don't forget to run updates.
It should work after that.

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.

Firefox won't load any pages, including home page
Yesterday, I turned on my computer, Firefox was already open (don't remember what the tabs were) and I kept getting error messages. It wasn't a stop script message, but something similar. I force restarted the computer, because ctrl-alt-del wasn't functioning. When the computer booted up again, I tried to open Firefox, and got a blank grey screen, and nothing else. I restarted again, I uninstalled and reinstalled, I ran a virus scan, and am still only getting the grey screen. IE works, but have no idea how to fix this.
Do you think Firefox might have updated to Firefox 33, which was released on Tuesday?
That release turns out not to be compatible with some older graphics card/chipset drivers, and can result in a solid black or white window; or maybe gray?
For a temporary workaround and more information on updating your Intel software, see this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1025438 -
I've used Firefox on my laptop for a number of years without issue. I've routinely updated the program when notified of upgrades (current version is 3.6.11, can't exactly remember when I updated). I use my laptop both at home (cable broadband) and at school (wireless network). A few days ago I had the browser open when I took the laptop to school. I believe everything was fine when I first booted up the system but I might be misremembering and it may have occurred as soon as awoke the laptop. The browser was locked up so I closed it expecting an easy restart. When I restarted the browser it wouldn't to load any of the multiple pages I had previously opened. I confirmed internet access with Outlook and IE. I have un-installed and reinstalled Firefox two or three times and it still fails to load whatever page I throw at it (NYT, WaPo, Google, etc). I know I have internet access. I went through the process of checking the Firewall and added Firefox to the list. Why it wan't there already I don't know. I am using Chrome as an interim browser and it isn't on the list (?) I am unsure of other info I found when looking over the firewall settings so I may have a bigger problem than just Firefox loading pages. Your help is appreciated.
Not a reply but an update to my first posting. The problem fixed itself after about a month or so. Everything just returned to normal and Firefox worked again. Unfortunately the story continues. After a couple weeks of working the symptoms reoccurred and I was again without the use of Firefox. Pause - - - - but the story continues. I got fed up as I was writing this very update and I tried again for the countless time to find a solution. And the good news is I did and Firefox is again working. It turns out that I had always checked the MS Windows firewall which reflected that Firefox had access to the web. I never thought to check my antivirus program suite. It of course also has a firewall through which Firefox was for some reason not allowed. Once I gave Firefox access the problem was solved. I don't know why I had never thought of this. I am embarrassed to admit it but I hope this may help others.

Firefox won't load any pages on SmartQ T10 but will find addons and sync. Why?
Pretty much as the title says, it installed fine, displays the startup page but won't load anything remotely except add-ons and sync data. Every other browser and inet app works fine on the device, including opera and the defaul browser, gmail etc, only Firefox doesn't work.

Firefox won't load any pages/addresses that I click on/type in
When I start Firefox, all of my toolbars and bookmarks are there, but there is only a blank white page, no start page. Also, when I click on a bookmark or try to go to a website, it doesn't work. The blank white page is still there. I've tried clicking the green arrow instead of hitting "Enter", but it still doesn't work. It even happens when I try using the search bar.
I updated the browser to the latest version (11.0, I think) and am still having the same issue.Hi iAmBacon,
Have you tried starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]? It sounds like there might an addon or extension that is causing some problems. If it works in Safe Mode, then follow the instructions in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting article]. It will show you how to enable them one by one until you find the culprit. Hopefully this helps! -
I have also checked my internet settings and restarted the computer.
See this - [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]]

Firefox won't load any pages only says connecting.
It just doesn't work. No firewall blocking is being done, other browsers work.
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Check the connection settings.
*Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if the "Use the system proxy settings" setting or one of the others doesn't work properly.
See "Firefox connection settings":

How do I get it back to the way it was? I want to see the options and bookmark tabs at the top left. It is kind of ironic that I had to use another browser to ask this question.
Hit F11 - does that bring it back?
If not, try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode -
I uninstalled Norton 360 under windows xp and now I'm getting this problem that firefox will no longer load pages. IE and Outlook still work and I can access the internet with them, I can ping any website I like successfully but Firefox won't load any pages ... N

Sure enough that's not enough to release Norton's tentacles in your system, there's an uninstall tool on their website (a whole set of them actually) that managed to carve it out completely and after a restart everything was back to normal. My machines will definitely be Norton-free from now on ... N

When I took my laptop, which is running in XP, to get rid of a
number of trojans, etc, the computer tech put AVG on it. Since
then, I have been getting random notices from AVG. I got a
notice and clicked it before thoroughly reading it, assuming it
was another one of these. It said something about closing
Firefox, and I thought it needed to close Firefox so it could
scan something. Ever since, I click on the shortcut or the file
itself to no avail. Nothing happens. I've even tried
uninstalling and reinstalling. Have I unknowingly changed my
administrative settings?Annette,
#In the menu bar, at the top of the Firefox window, Go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions.
# Locate ''each ''of the following extensions by name and click the disable button
#Restart Firefox as prompted and see if the undesired toolbar has been removed.
#The extensions to disable are: '''Crawler Toolbar''', '''MP3 Rocket Toolbar''', '''MSN Toolbar''', '''Search Helper Extension'''
If you don't need some / all of those toolbars, consider leaving them disabled.
You can probably remove these toolbars permanently from Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs. -
Firefox won't load web pages all the way, what can I do to fix this
I have this problem where firefox won't load any webpages all the way and if I try refreshing the page it shows some of the webpage but not the whole thing....and now it won't load any images either. I have tried everything that i could think of and nothing works. I can't watch anything on youtube or go on facebook and google won't work either.
There seems to be something of a pattern in that those are all secure sites (HTTPS address). Have you noticed any certificate errors recently that you might have solved by adding an exception, or does everything seem normal otherwise?
Here are the usual things:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference? -
I have a MacBook Air 2011, running Lion 10.7.2, and Safari won't load any pages. Firefox loads everything just fine. What's going on?
d Pacifist to reinstall both the Safari
application and the WebKit framework
was that before the 10.4.6 combo was applied?
Nope, I tried the Pacifist route after applying the combo update.
It does sound as if webkit is busted at the moment.
What version of osx is on your install disks?
Not sure, I'll have to check them.
I'd like to avoid a archive & install, but I'm beginning to think it's my only remaining option. -
Firefox has stopped working. It won't load any page, saying "The connection has timed out." I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, and still nothing. Any suggestions?
