  • Suddenly, Firefox won't load many websites. All I get is a blank page. I tried the fix suggested in knowledge base. Used 3 different virus/malware screens. No viruses, but some adware. Removed those, but it still doesn't work

    Many common websites won't load, all I get is a blank page. I am running Windows Vista. Tried virus scans, got rid of some adware but it still doesn't work. I am now using Google Chrome. I've used Firefox for many years, but this isn't acceptable
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://www.amazon.com
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4

    Update: This is NOT just related to "Yahoo" pages, while this problem first began with some of my Yahoo pages, it is now also happening with other NON Yahoo things I want to load up. Like Twitter, or Links in emails that load Blank, or even images within emails that show up Blank in the preview part of Yahoo mail. It is NOT a Yahoo issue as I have loaded up my Yahoo Mail in IE and Chrome, and everything loads wonderfully. I can even load up sites like Twitter, and other websites that will NOT load in Firefox, but they come up fine in other Browsers.
    I have done the ONLY suggestion that came from Firefox Tech support, to load up FF in Safe Mode, but the problems still exists. I have uninstalled FF and re-loaded it, but the same problem is there.
    Does anyone have any ideas here at all? I can't seem to get any Fire Fox help, so I am reaching out to the community here to see if anyone can help.... Thank you !!

  • Suddenly, Firefox won't load Netflix site

    Hi all,
    All of a sudden, completely out of the blue, Firefox will not load the Netflix website, or it takes forever for it to load. I have used Netflix streaming for over a year now and never run into this problem. I am using a MacBook, OS X 10.4.11, and Firefox 3.6.28, but am having the same problem when I try using Safari. A Netflix representative told me it must be a security issue because I am able to reach the Netflix sign in page just fine. The loading problem occurs when I actually try to sign in and get to my queue, personal page, etc. My internet is fine, and I'm able to load other websites as quickly as always.
    Any tips or suggestions? I have no clue why this is suddenly happening.

    The "Mac" FF users hang out in FF forums.  You should post there. 

  • 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

  • Firefox won't load but stops responding right after I open it. its done this for two days on all our computers

    I use firfox all the time but yesterday and today it has decided that it will not load the page nor will it respond. it get a spinning blue circle and it will not allow you to click anything. you can escape it but nothing has done any good that I've tried doing to fix it.

    I have 5 different Win7 64-bit installations. As soon as i upgraded to FF18...EVERY single systems browser experience slows to a crawl. CPU and memory spike beyond control. In fact I have to use Chrome to browse. This is so incredibly unacceptable. My entire family is soooo frustrated. They have reverted to IE, and i provided each device with a fresh install of Chrome, no issues whatsoever.
    As for suggestions here, I have no intention of following any of these lame instructions to check anti-virus, video card switching, or resetting FF to defaults which will cause loss of some of the personalization.
    Its a bloody shame. Farewell FF. Enjoy your poorly QA'ed release....!!!

  • Firefox will not load up on my mac after upgrading to 3.6.8

    I click the firefox icon in the mac system tray, it bounces for a few seconds, but the software does not load.

    Finally after trying to uninstall/reinstall (no luck!)
    I'm on Windows 7 64 bit.  iTunes 10.7   And I have a solution:
    If found a thread about IPv6.
    I followed the same directions on Windows 7 64 bit and it worked.
    Disable IPv6 on _all_ of your IP ethernet adapters. 
    That includes Virtual Machines (VMWare... yes those too), including IPv6 for wireless.
    Close iTunes.  Start iTunes.  Works.  Airplay Icon is back.
    It looks like All of the AirPlay devices may have to be re-setup.  At the very least rebooted.
    I found that I had to clompletely erase my DHCP addresses from my (non Apple) router.. and that fixed it.  Finally.
    Even though this is for the Mac... I believe they are onto something.   Original thread link:

  • Firefox won't load google image search results

    Firefox won't load google search results. It will load the page of results with the thumbnails etc. but if you click any of them, just a loading spinning icon appears on the tab and it never loads.
    I have tried:
    Both logged in and out of google account,
    All other areas of google work with no problems (news, shopping etc.),
    Site working perfectly in Internet Explorer,
    Running firefox in safemode,
    Manually disabling all plugins and addons,
    Clearing the cache and cookies,
    Opening results in new tab just results in white page with web address but it never loads,
    Restarting both my PC and router.
    It's not been working for at least the past 6 hours. Last time I used it was about a week ago and it was working fine then. I've not noticed any problems on any other sites this week that I can recall.

    Updating firefox to version 17.0 appears to have solved this.

  • 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?

  • Firefox won't load pages, but other browsers will.

    Firefox won't load any internet pages, but different browsers, both Chrome and Explorer work, I havent tried others. I've un-installed, changed the name of the folder of the plug-ins that were left so it wouldn't recognize them, then re-installed nothing happened. I've checeked for viruses, proxies, and i'm pretty sure its not a firewall, I think we only have one and I checked it, plus there is no prompt asking me if I want to allow firefox to access the internet. It won't run in safe mode, so its not any add-ons, clearing the cache didn't do anything either. Its also not in offline mode. What else could it be?

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • 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 pa

    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
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I uninstalled Norton 360 ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 4.0; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; InfoPath.2; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

    I found a fix for this, not only firefox but several other networking programs were broken as well (Outlook and IE were ok for some reason) so I reasoned that the Norton uninstall was incomplete somehow - I had done it from the add/remove programs in the control panel. 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

  • Safari won't load Webkinz site

    I have been having trouble with Webkinz on my Mac. Safari hadn't been loading, and I thought it might either be my dial up connection or my version of Flash player. I updated Flash, now have DSL, but Safari still won't load the site. If I watch the status bar, it loads about 42 of 44 items, then stalls. Any ideas? Firefox works well, but I'd like to be able use Safari as well.
    Thanks

    Do you have anything in your Home/Library/InputManagers folder, as well as /Library/InputManagers and /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins (as long as it's related to something in one of the other two folders? If so, remove them and restart Safari to test it.
    If you don't have any Input Managers, then I would try downloading Cocktail, launch it and choose Cocktail from the Window menu, then Pilot, then Tasks, and run the maintenance schedule. Then restart your Mac and test Safari.
    If that doesn't work, you're probably going to need an Archive & Install with the Preserve Users and Network Settings option: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1545
    Download the 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel Only) or the 10.4.11 Combo Update (PPC only). Then Repair Disk Permissions, do the Archive & Install, reboot the Mac, install the 10.4.11 Combo Update for your system, then use Software Update for everything else since then. Finally, Repair Disk Permissions again, delete the Previous Systems folder, and restart the Mac to test Safari again.

  • Firefox won't load check images from my online bank.

    Firefox won't load check images from my online bank. It had been doing so with no problems, but stopped 2 days ago. I can get into my account and navigate with no problems. But when I click to see the image of a check, I get a blank page.
    I am using Firefox 3.6, but I have the same problem on my laptop with Firefox 4
    It works fine with Safari and Internet Explorer.

    If you can't open them in Firefox anymore (you seem to have a plugin: View PDF documents within your web browser) then download the documents to the desktop and open them with a program that can open PDF files.
    See also to be sure that that plugin is still selected:

    Do you otherwise have problems with PDF files?

  • E3000 Won't load any site.

    I forgot my E3000 router password so I restarted to factory settings.
    I tried to set up using the software that I downloaded for the site and It didn't work, It gave me some errors that I was able to fix later running the software from a windows XP sp3 pc (Lucky I had one of those). Anyhow, even though the software "was able to set the router" I still couldn't connect to the internet, I tried to solve this problem browsing the forums and it kept saying I I was connected to the router but the router wasn't connected to internet. 
    So after all, browsing and stuff I tried to restart to factory setting a couple of times reboot it and reboot my pc, currently I found out This Link (Since i don't need a login for my ISP) I realized one of the problems was my Local IP address was 192.168.1.1 so I changed to 192.168.2.1 and surprisely it showed me connected to the internet after that.
    But still, I can't load any site using the router, It's like I still wasn't connected to the internet, I check "Status" and I get a IP address and everything, I have tried Release and then Renew to get a new one and it still won't load any site, I'm tired of looking around, really mad about this problem. 
    Any solutions?
    PS: If you got no idea you get me a very detailed guide of how to set up my router (I think I did all right though) but I got no problem resetting it again and start over as long as it fixes this problem.

    Hi deimerx, first of all, how was the reset done? Did you do it by pressing the reset button down for 30 seconds while the device was on? Let me share the steps to the the proper reset :
    1. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds while the device is on.
    2. Release the button and unplug or power off the device.
    Once done, reinstall the settings.

    just times out I tried diableing add-ons no difference. I't on internet exploers now. Tried rebooting.

    Do you use McAfee Antivirus/Firewall/Security products? McAfee released a security update that is blocking Firefox 3.6.11. This should be cleared up with the next McAfee update.
