Firefox wont load but other browsers will

from the start page firefox wont load websites-my other browsers work just fine

hi, such issues are often caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

    Hello Devin.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Firefox will not load but other browsers will. Task master does not show it's open and it will not load even if I reboot.

    The cursor continues to spin then stops. Will not load.

    Open the Windows Task Manager > Processes Tab and see if there is a '''firefox.exe''' process running, when you can't open Firefox and you find it necessary ti restart your PC. When you try to open Firefox and a firefox.exe process is "hung", you should get a warning message that ''' "Firefox is already running" '''.

  • Firefox wont load pages, other browsers do, firefox solutions did not work?

    Hello!
    I have Windows 7, and run Firefox Beta 36.0. I have it set to update automatically, and it seems there was an update yesterday, and now Firefox will not load any pages.
    I have tried changing the proxy settings, configuring the firewall, and restarting my computer; none of them worked. :(
    After configuring the firewall, there are now two Mozilla Firefox programs shown (in the allowed programs and features list)? I had made sure to delete, then re-add them, but it made two Mozilla Firefoxes in the list appear. Not sure if this effects anything though.

    Ah, I figured it out by changing the firewall settings on Norton to allow for firefox and the firefox add-on, instead of auto. Hopefully putting the setting on allow instead of auto wont make me vulnerable to security threats!
    I was about to cry haha, Chrome wouldn't download as I wanted to use it until I could find a solution, and I though I would be stuck with IE for forever. xD
    Thanks, hopefully this will help others!

  • Firefox wont load websites, other browsers can. Premature FIN,ACK?

    Whenever I load a webpage in FF, I get "server reset connection".
    Any other browser on the same machine loads any webpage fine. FF on another machine on the same network is fine.
    I tried:
    * Disabling the firewall
    * Uninstalling and reinstalling FF (even older versions)
    * running FF in safemode
    * Disabling any plugins
    * Creating a new profile
    * Logging in as another user
    To no avail.
    BUT: If I debug with fiddler2 - FF works fine. As soon as I stop fiddler2 from capturing, FF works no more.
    I tried Wireshark, and this is what I see:
    * 1 0.000 remote-collab > http [SYN] Seq=0 Win=65535 Len=0 MSS=1260
    * 2 0.023 http > remote-collab [SYN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 Win=5840 Len=0 MSS=1380
    * 3 0.023 remote-collab > http [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 Win=65535 Len=0
    * 4 0.033 remote-collab > http [FIN, ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 Win=65535 Len=0
    * 5 0.056 http > remote-collab [FIN, ACK] Seq=1 Ack=2 Win=5840 Len=0
    * 6 0.056 remote-collab > http [ACK] Seq=2 Ack=2 Win=65535 Len=0
    The trouble ssems to be that 4 packet. Something is sending a FIN package about 0.023 seconds after the connection is established. Any Idea what it could be? Is FF being stubborn? (note: I get the same with a disabled firewall)

    See if anything here helps you. The 17 most popular firewall programs are covered. And the Enum Process program is explained a bit, along with a download link to that program. It is a good program written by a Firefox support helper over at MozillaZine to help Firefox users determine what they have running as far as firewalls and other security programs go.<br />
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firewalls
    The biggest problem with Firefox and firewalls is that when Firefox is updated it almost always comes with a new '''firefox.exe''' file, which is what launches Firefox and what the firewall looks for as being different than expected. Most other programs don't change their "executable" file almost ever, so the firewall is never challenged. Plus some firewall programs aren't updated in a timely manner and don't recognize the new executable automatically and need the users intervention ''(or jacking around, as I see it)''.
    That's about the limit of my experience with software firewalls. I use an IP tables hardware firewall on my LAN, and only ever used a software firewall on a laptop I had a few years ago - and only because it was used off of my LAN. My current netbook uses Linux and I don't see the need for a software firewall, yet.

  • Firefox won't connect to any website, but other browsers will.

    When I enter something in the URL bar -- google.com, localhost, http://127.0.0.1/ an IP address, there's a split second flash, then the bar becomes empty again and nothing has happened. It looks like Firefox isn't even trying to connect to the internet.
    Yesterday, all was well when I was running FF on Windows 7. After the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro, Firefox failed. I upgraded again to Windows 8.1, hoping for the best, but it's the same problem.
    I have walked through the firewall issue, several times (the only one running is Windows' built-in firewall). I eventually uninstalled Firefox, including all my custom settings, and reinstalled from scratch, twice. And even this pure, clean version of Firefox will not connect to the internet.
    I'm a computer-literate web developer and would be happy to look at log files, or run some tool (Fiddler?) to see what's happening at a low level, if only I knew where to look.

    Others with similar problems please look at the article
    * [[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]
    MM..,
    mm... That just about sums up my thought on reading your question. Rather odd this one. I will list some brief ideas and number them to make them easier to refer to or comment on.
    Obviously this does not affect all Firefox 27 on Windows 8. It must be something fairly specific to your setup. I have no idea what your problem is and you have tried some of the obvious troubleshooting steps.
    Rather a general shotgun approach but the best I can do is suggest this list
    # Clean Install <br />Presumably you will have tried deleting the program path files in order to get a clean install.<br /> [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox]]_5-reinstall-firefox <br />(See also note about ESR install)
    # Firefox SafeMode will also have been tried <br /> [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] <br />Remembering to disable or uninstall plugins, safemode does not do that.
    # Try a new clean additional test Profile. <br /> [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles#w_creating-a-profile]]_creating-a-profile
    #Windows Safe Mode
    # Install and try Firefox ESR <br /> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/
    #* As a developer you are probably interested in using that anyhow. <br /> Either a customised install as an additional browser <br /> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions#Installing_multiple_versions <br />Or use the unofficial Firefox portable. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox-portable-esr
    #* Helps rule out: Firefox code or feature regressions, Corrupted program files
    #* Should quickly enable you to see a working Firefox again
    # Run scans for malware problems with multiple tools
    #* [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
    # Is it only network problems ? <br /> Confirm you are you able to open local html files on the same partition ?
    # Firefox's Network Console should throw light on the situation. There is also the Firefox Error Console and Profiler (Profiler is now built in)

  • 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.

    Thank you.

  • After I connect an ipod thro a usb cable, firefox will not load, but other browsers work fine.?

    Firefox works fine and is my preferred browser, but after I connect an ipod to my computer it will not load. Even after the ipod has been removed firefox will still not load until the pc is restarted.

    Open the Windows Task Manager > Processes Tab and see if there is a '''firefox.exe''' process running, when you can't open Firefox and you find it necessary ti restart your PC. When you try to open Firefox and a firefox.exe process is "hung", you should get a warning message that ''' "Firefox is already running" '''.

  • Safari won't connect to internet but other browsers will

    Firefox and Chrome can connect to the internet but since upgrading to Yosemite, Safari, iTunes and other Apple Apps have an exceedingly difficult time connecting to the internet. (ie server not found) I have to resort to turning off/on my wifi and/or restarting my computer. All other non-Apple applications can access the internet just fine.

    I, too, am experiencing this problem. It occurs with both Safari and Firefox. It wasn't bad at the start; occasionally what seemed like my internet would cut out while I was surfing, but then the problem began to last for longer durations. As of this morning, I've been trying to get Safari to open for two hours with no success.
    Here's the specifics. I open Safari. Most times, the load bar will extend about 1/6 the length and stop, displaying my homepage address in the address bar. Sometimes, the load bar will creep halfway, and part of my homepage will appear; typically, images don't load, and sometimes the page format gets wonky. Rarely, the homepage will fully load! I can even move through the homepage's image slideshow seamlessly. However, if I try to go to another page, I'm back at the 1/6 occurrence. Very rarely, everything works fine. Closing the laptop or Quitting Safari kills the connection, and I have to start this stupid process all over again. Finally, Firefox is either all or nothing; either the pages load and work fine, or nothing works at all.
    I've done a DNS manual adjustment, I've created a specific Network, I've unchecked Safari from the iCloud options, I've run scans for malware and viruses (and came out clean), and I've done a clean reinstall of Yosemite. There's no need for me to tweak my router or contact my ISP; every other wireless application in our house is functioning perfectly. It's not the wifi.
    Nothing's working, and I'm about to throw my computer out a window (not really, just frustrated). Any help would be so very appreciated.

  • Hi, my firefox wont load websites but other browsers like internet explorer , chrome can . This problem occurs when i use my company's router ?

    my company have two internet connection ; 1 is dsl connection , firefox working fine on it ; 2 is my company's own cisco 2911 cisco router with internet connection , firefox wont loading pages except just the homepage of google.com and that's it , and the problem is that whole company is using company's internet connection which means that firefox is death for all of us.
    Reseting firefox works but just for one day and after that it stuck again. also tried other solutions like malware removal , re installing firefox etc but not worked
    Thanks for any kind of solution

    thanks alot for your quick reply fredmcd
    i have searched alot on the internet and got the solution , it was a thread known as "l.yimg.com". every time i open a website ,it stucks in "transferring data from l.yimg.com" , so what i did is;
    1) End the process "random.exe" from task manager
    2) Delete all the history and cookies of the infected browser.
    3) Opened Registry Editor and delete these malicious entries:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ L.yimg.com
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\L.yimg.com \DisplayName L.yimg.com
    HKEY_USER\.default\environment\temp
    HKEY_USER\s-1-5-18\environment\temp
    HKEY_USER\ s-1-5-19\environment\temp and so on
    4) Search those malicious files on your hard disk and completely delete all of its components.
    %AllUsersProfile%\{random}
    %AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\.dll
    it really worked for me , if anyone have the same problem then try it , hopefully it will work for you too.

  • Pages not loading in firefox unless refreshed several times but loads in other browsers not an issue of firewall malware or ipv6

    a week ago firefox suddenly stopped loading pages unless refreshed several times but loads in other browsers, not an issue of firewall malware or ipv6 I've tried all that I uninstalled and reinstalled also. I also tried disabling my addons.

    Hey man,
    If I'd had that problem and done things that you'd done and seen no results. I'd delete FF again but this time fully - clean the registry as well. Then I'd remove java environment and everything related to it, sdk, jre etc...Reboot the PC and reinstall the newest version of FF, then download the latest versions of java platforms, sdk etc... and reinstall the as well.
    Hope this helps,
    LD

  • No animation or videos will play from Firefox, but other browsers still work fine. I have checked plugins and even updated to the Firefox 14 beta - no fix

    As of yesterday no animation or videos will play from Firefox, but other browsers still work fine. I have checked plugins and even updated to the Firefox 14 beta today, but this did not fix the problem.
    this problem started yesterday; before then there was no problem.
    I have updated everything I can find, and ran a system restore and disc clean.
    The problem still persists. What am I missing here?

    This happened to me too. This problem started suddenly with no changes made on my part. I had 11.2 Flash version with Firefox 13. I tried updating to the new Firefox, same problem, then updated to Flash 11.3. I even uninstalled RealPlayer.
    I read a solution on another forum and it was as easy as clearing my cache. Everything works fine now (even after reinstalling RealPlayer and allowing the download button function).

  • Firefox doesn't load my banking website but other browsers do even after virus and malware scan and cookies & cache cleared

    I have cleared cookies and cache, scanned with Panda and still can't load my banking website. I can load the website with any other browser I've tried with no problems.
    This is with Firefox in safe mode and in regular mode.

    It sounds as though you have worked through this article: [[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]].
    Do you notice any difference between secure sites and non-secure sites in what error message you get?
    Do you use any kind of content filtering or parental control software?

  • Unable to connect to the internet with firefox but other browsers are fine

    i have been a firefox user for years and i have became very dependant on it. However for the past few weeks (i am using the latest version) firefox have been giving me problem. Sporadically and very frequently, there will be connection problem, it would be fine one second and the very next second i cant be connected to anywhere. whatever i click on will not bring me to a new page. it will appear to be loading but eventually nothing will come out. However i do not have this problem with google chrome safari or IE so i do not think its my connection problem. I would really want to continue using firefox so please any help on this?

    Hi,
    Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode.] And ideally '''No Proxy''' should be enabled in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Network '''> '''Settings...''', if you are not using a proxy.
