I am unable to connect to the Web with Firefox, the firefox site displays on screen, yet I can connect on the same desktop computer to Internet explorer and Opera, what is preventing me from opening the firefox browser

I am unable to connect to the web on my desktop with Firefox 8, the program displays but will not connect to the Internet, Other browsers Internet Explorer and Opera do connect on the same machine. McAfee is not blocking it, virus checks detect no virus yet yesterday it worked perfectly

I tried what was suggested by starting in Safe Mode but the problem still exists. I am frustrated as I cannot connect to my Verizon Fios page. I can connect to the Internet with the Firefox Browser and can go to any web site except finding my Verizon Home page.

  • HT1766 yesterday i connect my iPhone with iTunes then one MSG displayed on screen about backup i ignore that but same time i have lost all my installed app from my iPhone pls help me.

    yesterday i connect my iPhone with iTunes then one MSG displayed on screen about backup i ignore that but same time i have lost all my installed apps incouled my pics and vids from my iPhone pls help me.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Print issues when printing a muse page from internet explorer and opera

    When I try to print a page on my muse site in internet explorer or opera it goes a little crazy.  Everything is huge and thrown all over the place.  When printing the same pages in firefox or safari it is fine.  Any help?

    I'm also running into this issue, and I'm hoping someone can answer.

  • How can I prevent iTunes from opening when Firefox is open, when the computer is not used for a few minutes?

    iTunes opens on my screen if Firefox is on, with page minimised or with current page open, if I do not use the machine for a few minutes. I can't find anything to turn this off.

    When you first insert a CD your Mac comes up with a box saying
    "You have inserted a CD" (duuh, Apple...)
    Then you choose from a pop-up menu that offers "Open in Finder", "Open in iTunes", etc
    At some point you (or someone) has chosen "Open in iTunes" then checked the little box that says "Make this the default from now on".
    If you go into System Prefs (as already mentioned) you have a choice to reset what you want to do with a blank CD.

  • Labview load error code 15 preventing me from opening the VI

    I'm having some problems opening a particular VI. I get an error called: "Labview Load Error Code 15; cannot load default data." This VI cannot be opened, but I would like to somehow get into it (some important codes are in it). The Labview version is 6.1 and the system is on a Macintosh G3 with OS 8. Thanks in advance.

    It sounds like the VI is corrupt. Are you able to open it another machine or a different version of LabVIEW?

  • Flash video, .4fv files in particular won't play in Firefox - Any one have any suggesstions? I already updated my Flash player and plays in Internet Explorer and Chrome

    If you look at this page in Firefox, http://www.vpi-corp.com/Empower-Demo/index-iframe.asp, you will see that the html portion of the page loads, and if you right click in the white area in the middle, the Flash is present as well. I can view this page correctly in Internet Explorer and Chrome. I have tried to export the movie as far back as Flash 7.0, but will not resolve. I have also been able to see this video for a while in Firefox, but then mysteriously went away. Any help would be appreciated. I suspect some patch to the programming on this page will be necessary.

    That f4v file is send as text/plain, maybe that is causing it

  • Whenever I try to open Firefox it says cannot establish connection, maybe your firewall is preventing us from accessing the web.

    Whenever I try to open Firefox it says cannot establish connection, maybe your firewall is preventing us from accessing the web. Even though I've let Firefox through my firewall, this message still appears. And whenever I try to redownload it, it just says installation failed. It does this with all installations... Is there something wrong with my computer? How do I fix it?

    Sometimes you only disable the user interface of security software, but the firewall or anti-virus services are still running in the background.
    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.

  • How can I stop my Firefox browser from preventing Click Earner, a program that opens email ads on safelists, from opening the URL's in the email ads?

    Hello fellow-users of Mozilla Firefox,
    I send email ads using 20 different safelists every day. To get credits for sending those ads I click email ads sent by other subscribers.
    Since early this year I've been using Click Earner -- http://www.clickearner.net/ -- to help speed up this task. Click Earner "fetched"
    the emails from each safelist and opened each URL advertised in each email. This was a very quick job and all I did was close each tab
    displaying the URL. Credits for clicking the URL were added to my safelists accounts.
    Since a week ago, without me doing anything at all, my Click Earner stopped opening the emails automatically as was the case for
    several months since I started using it. Click Earner support claimed Firefox prevented the program from opening the URL in a new tab each time it fetched an email ad. True enough, yesterday when I watched Click Earner in action I saw a pop-up from Firefox saying something like "Firefox prevented..." I couldn't read the rest as the pop-up disappeared immediately. And that was the only
    time I saw it.
    Right now I have to open each URL manually to see the ad and earn credits. This is a very slow process, just the same as when I open the emails in my gmail account. It's useless for me to subscribe to Click Earner. And it takes forever for me to earn credits from all the safelists.
    I'd appreciate it very much if any one of you folks would help me overcome this glitch. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you very much in anticipation.
    Regards,
    Tom Graciano

    You could try turning off Firefox's pop-up blocker.
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
    There you will find a checkbox for "Block pop-up windows". Assuming it's checked, uncheck it.
    Does that return to the behavior you want?

  • Something called "television fanatic plugin" which seems to have come with the Safari upgrade is preventing me from opening Safari.  Help

    Something called "television fanatic plugin" which seems to have come with the upgrade to Safari 5.1 is preventing me from opening Safari.  I cannot find it on my computer.  What do I have to do to eliminate it and be able to open Safari?

    If the software doesn't have an uninstall feature, quit Safari and try manually removing the third-party add-on files. These files are usually installed in one or more of the following locations:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Input Methods/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    ~/Library/Input Methods/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
    The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library.

  • I am unable to open files on amything!!! a box pops up that asks me what do i want to open the file with..every time!! I want files to open when i click on them!! This happens with emails, websites, everything

    I try to open attachments in emails and they will not open! A box comes up asking 'what do I want to open the file with', and it wants me to select from a list of options like - Firefox, IE, Word, Yahoo Browser. When I make a selection (usually Firefox) a new tab opens with a blank page! This always happens on attachments, links, websites......everything!

    These files were lost two years ago.
    That's not consistent with what you wrote in your first message. I can't help you unless I know what's going on. Either you do, or do not, have backups of all the data you want to keep. If you do not, then the first thing you need to do is back up those files. It makes zero sense to do anything else. In order to back up, you'll need either of two things: another Mac, in working order, with a FireWire port and enough space on its internal drive to hold your files; or an external drive, also with enough space.
    On the other hand, if you do have backups, or if you simply don't care about any of the data, then the solution to your problem may be quite simple. All you have to do is boot from your installation disc (your profile says you're running Mac OS 10.5), erase your internal drive, reinstall the Mac OS, then restore your data from backup. You will need to be selective in restoring software, because incompatible software may be what caused the issue.
    But it's also possible that you have a hardware failure, in which case you can't get your computer working again until it's repaired.

  • Why am I receiving a notice to update my version and then not able to click on it? It also prevents me from entering the internet if I put my computer to sleep with this update box there!

    The box appears after I'm on the internet. It's on my desktop when I go to shut down my computer and after I've shut down the internet. When I click on the x it doesn't disappear. When I click on the box indicating Yes, I'd like to update my version of Firefox it does nothing. If I leave this box there and put my computer to sleep it stays on and actually prevents me from entering the internet! I need to restart my computer or shut down! My computer is a MacBook Pro and is only one year old .

    They have to know who the person is who has their account set up wrong?   Do you know who they are or how to identify them?
    if not, how do you expect Verizon to find which user that is?
    Best thing for you to do is set up a mail filter and just throw those into the trash or delete them the second they come into your email box.

  • Firefox auto-updated to 3.6.9 last night and now it crashes every time I open the browser, even in safe mode.

    Firefox auto-updated to 3.6.9 last night and now it crashes every time I open the browser, even in safe mode.

    Hi there,
    You could try performing a clean installation: [[Knowledge Base Article]] :
    Some Firefox issues can be resolved by downloading a new Firefox installer from Mozilla.com, then closing Firefox, deleting the Firefox application folder (program files) and reinstalling Firefox. If this does not help, or if you would rather completely remove Firefox and start over instead of completing all the troubleshooting steps, follow these steps:
    1. Download the latest official version of Firefox from Mozilla.com.
    * You should avoid unofficial download sites that bundle Firefox with other software such as the Google Toolbar.
    2. If you wish to retain your current profile, you should make a backup copy of it. See Backing up your information for instructions.
    3. Uninstall Firefox and make sure you remove the Firefox application (program) folder and your Firefox personal data (user data and settings) - see Uninstalling Firefox for instructions.
    4. Reinstall Firefox - see Installing Firefox for instructions.
    5. When Firefox is started for the first time, the Import Wizard will appear and a new profile will be created.
    6. Verify that the issue no longer appears.
    7. If you made a backup of your old profile and wish to restore your old information, see Recovering important data from an old profile. For troubleshooting purposes, only copy the files corresponding to your bookmarks and saved passwords.
    8. Reinstall your extensions and themes one by one to determine if any specific one is causing the issue.

  • Opening PDF files on the web with IPad

    Hi everyone
    I am having difficulty opening some (but not all) pdf files on the web with my IPad. When I click on the icon it comes up with approx half of the first page of the document, but nothing else. It also does not provide an "open in" bar. Any thoughts on what is going on here?
    With thanks, Mike.

    Thank you for following up. We often have people reporting similar problems and I suggest they follow up with the website owner but I rarely hear back from the original poster so I'm never sure that this is indeed the problem. Ironically, serving a document for mobile is almost easier than serving it to a desktop browser because there are no plugins to get in the way. That said, a lot of website owners have gone through pains to do plugin detection and user authentication and authorization and mobile represents another case that they would need to handle on top of what they already do.
