Have mac 10.6.8 firefox will not open certain websites and if you do open them logins fail , also with safari and chrome, please help

recently updated mac to this version, and since then certain web pages timeout or server not found or they just hang, you get the address come up but the blue wheel spins and the page never loads. (this is the same in safari and chrome) but i can access some pages, and also thunderbird, msn messenger etc, i have cleared history, checked firewall, and done updates still no luck, also if i do get a page to appear ie: ebay / paypal etc they are in a strange format and then it fails at logins, is this a https/http problem or due to a upgrade or more sinister, please advise

You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.
You can try to disable IPv6

Firefox will not load certain websites but IE will

After upgrading to FF 29 I cannot access the addons and several other pages.
Going to addons.mozilla.org or clicking the addons button gives me a bulleted list of links.
Attempting to download an addon just says "Error Downloading"
I can go to addons.mozilla.org in IE and download and install them manually with no issues.
I have cleared the cache and cookies several times and reset the proxy to none.
I looked at about:config and there was no line for xpinstall.enabled so I added it as a boolean.
I ran malwarebytes and it found nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.

My computer will not load certain websites

Hi,
Both Safari and Firefox will not load certain websites consistantly (Twitter is one of them). I check on my wife's computer and they can load on her computer no problem. It shows the "Problem Loading Page" message. I've cleared history, cache, everything that I can think of. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

Hello,
In a browser's URL bar, put this & hit enter, does that get you to Apple?

My Firefox will not search for websites

My Firefox will not search for websites etc. I put in a parameter and it will not do anything. When I use anything else (such as Yahoo! search) it works fine. I type in a word/website/name etc. into the search box on Firefox and nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and still it won't work.

A few notes for the morning:
(1) If you used the Reset Firefox feature, a folder will have appeared on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. Please retain that folder so you can revert your Reset if needed.
(2) I don't know why you would intentionally open the IP addresses of servers that have demonstrated their untrustworthiness by relaying spam to you. If you want to find out who controls a server, you can look it up on one of the regional registries for IP addresses:
* RIPE (for Europe): http://www.ripe.net/ (RIPE Database search box mid-page)
* ARIN (for North America): https://www.arin.net/ (Search WHOIS upper right)
* APNIC (for Asia): http://www.apnic.net/ (Whois Search to the right of the image)

Try Hard Reset -> Hold down these two buttons at the same time [Sleep/Wake & Home] the moment you see the Apple Logo 'release those buttons' allow device to reset
If still no resolution -
Restore
[back up information either via iTunes or iCloud if no recent one has been done]
Erase All Content an Settings - FIRST Set up As New - Test Camera Flash
Works? Great! - restore back up
[NOTE - if the flash does not respond again after restoring back up then sorry will have to Erase All Content and Settings Again and then the best part 'Set up As New and manually enter data/information']
If the first time done and after setting up as new and still not resolved - then Id suggest call AppleCare Support or set an appointment up with an Apple Retail Store
Best of luck

That was probably caused by your Firewall blocking the newly installed version of Firefox.
No known security issues with Firefox 3.6.17, which was just released this past week.

MAC 0S 10.3 FIREFOX WILL NOT START--THE OLDER VERSION WORKED PERFECTLY-- HOW DO I GET IT FOR MY WIFE'S COMPUTER

an update was sent to my wife's computer. she tried to use it ,but it would not open. the older version worked fine ,but it was erased by the upgrade. How do we get the old version back? the upgrade--yahoo_firefox_3.6_set_us.dmg-firefox will not open.

The last version of Firefox that works in OS 10.3 is Firefox 2.0.0.20, you can get it from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

Firefox will not launch in any mode. I cannot open Profile manager to change to another profile. No change with delete and reload of program.

I've been using Firefox for years. Had this happen once before but was able to open the profile manager and change to a new profile. At this point I can't even do that. Suggestions??

[[Basic Troubleshooting]] has a "clean reinstall" section at the end that does not require you to open Firefox.
In any case, you should first take a look at the [[Firefox will not start]] article, which I mentioned in my first post. If that doesn't help, also check out http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up#Windows-specific_problems

Firefox will not load any websites, continues to say "Problem Loading Page". However I have a full internet connection and Internet Explorer works.

I also tried to uninstall and reinstall multiple times and Firefox will still not load pages.

Firefox security settings will not save any of my passwords even when i click on the check box for saving passwords. please help.

When a pop-up comes up on the screen it will ask to save my password or not, well, I click on save password but it doesnt save any passwords even when I have the check box checked for remembering my passwords for certain sites it will not save any type of passwords at all. What am I doing wrong? I am using linux-mac OS user.

Simply because I don't think about using this option that takes more time to close... I always close ALL my windows with the X.
Firefox doesn't hang at exit also...
Using Firefox / Exit doesn't always save the bookmarks also... let's say there is 80% chances it will but not always... I noticed the first time I open firefox after booting the computer... Bookmarks won't be saved... But if I close firefox and re-open it, then it might save it... 50% guess...
I tried the safe mode, but since its closing firefox and re-open it... new saved bookmarks sometimes work, sometimes don't... it's pretty unstable...
Hopefully there is a solution to this problem in a near update, annoying... else I will simply reverse to firefox 3.6.16

Firefox will not connect to websites, it just says "connecting" constantly, but I can access the internet using IE.

For the last 2 days I have had a problem with Firefox. When I start it, one or two pages will open, sometimes 3 or 4, but then if I try to open any more tabs it will just get stuck connecting to it and never go to the page. Once it starts this infinite-connection process, the pages previously opened do not work anymore either. If you try to navigate in them, they will respond the same way. I have tried connecting in IE, and it works. I did upgrade to Firefox 6 yesterday, but I was having the problem before that (which is why I tried upgrading).

I have tried all of the options in that first link you showed and none worked. I also configured my firewall (Windows Firewall) and ensured firefox was in the "Allow" list, which it was. I still have the issue.
I did notice something interesting though. When I first checked the firewall, Mozilla firefox wasn't on the list at all. I had to manually add it and then made sure it was allowed to connect to the internet. Even after I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, I never got one of those windows notifications asking me if I wanted to add a rule for firefox. Checking the firewall settings again, firefox was still absent. I don't think it matters, firefox doesn't work with no rules at all in the firewall, or if I manually add the rule and allow firefox to connect.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help

Firefox will not display certain features of websites in windows 8.1

I've upgraded to windows 8.1. Installed Firefox (now ver. 26) right away. I go to the same websites to pay bills, do work stuff etc for the past few years.
Those websites work fine most of the time. RANDOMLY (at least to me) 2 websites have been giving me trouble for certain features:
1. Banking website will not display my online bill pay. It does not crash, it just says "unable to display page" and for me to check my firewall etc, reload page, etc. When I go to other features for my bank, it works fine except for the bill pay.
2. My work website has a feature to display paychecks etc. It give me the same message of "unable to display".
Here's the weird thing: I open and close firefox a few times and the page "magically" works.
I load the same page in IE 11 and I have the same problem.
I load the same page in chrome 32.0.1700.107m and I never have this problem.
I load the same pages in firefox ver. 26 on a windows 7 machine and it work just fine.
I'm at a loss since Firefox is my primary browser and only have the other browsers for the occasional incompatibilities.
Any ideas? I've concluded that it's a windows 8.1 issue/compatibility but would like to try other solutions before I downgrade back to windows 7.
FYI: I've turned off windows firewall and the same issue still occurs. I've updated to the latest adobe flash, shockwave, and Java. I only have one extension installed - adblocker (which is disabled for these websites).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

Firefox will not load any websites at all

I have been using Firefox for more than awhile, as IE 10 would not work for me, but a few days ago Firefox stopped working all together. I will click Firefox and all that happens is it loads a New Tab, and it has a blank page with no web address. If i type in a web address, it 'loads' for a split second and still is a blank page. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and did not work. I have also reset Firefox, and nothing happens except i get a pointless toolbar back. I do not have Chrome, but IE is working fine for me as i have downgraded to IE 9. I do prefer Firefox though, as it is a bit faster and more simply organized. Is there anything else i can try to fix this problem?

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 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.
