I can not access the net w/ Internet Explorer but not firefox. I have Mozilla set as default browser.

I have had a problem previously accessing the net w/ firefox. After checking firefox info site, I set Firefox as the default browser and that corrected the problem. It has now happened again w/ the settings as described. No problems (other than normal) w/ Internet Esplorer and no problems w/ Thunderbird. Suggestions?

You may also need to reset some prefs. You have a lot of prefs in your More system details list that were changed from the default.<br />
One of them being the pref to override the user agent to Firefox 3.6.3
general.useragent.override Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
If you haven't set network.http prefs yourself to those values for specific reasons then you should reset them (not all servers support pipelining). dom.max_chrome_script_run_time 0 and dom.storage.enabled false should also only be done in case of problems. dom.storage is a replacement for cookies and dom.max_chrome_script_run_time set to 0 may cause the browser to hang in case of script errors.

I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working. HELP....

I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 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.

I'm getting "The connection has timed out" when I try to connect to one specific website. I can connect to the site using Internet Explorer. Help?

As suggested by Firefox, I cleared my history and cache. I also downloaded and ran one of the Firefox recommended malware applications. I also removed Firefox from my firewall and then added it back as suggested by Firefox. I have no problem accessing the site using Internet Explorer.

Thanks jscher2000. Yes, in Safe Mode I was able to go the site. I read the possible ways that Firefox suggests to try to fix the problem, i.e., go through all my extensions to find the problem or reset Firefox to the original factory settings. Where do you suggest I go from here?

Can watch You Tube vidoes on Internet Explorer but not with Firefox. Why?

This problem has only cropped recently. I don't seem to be able to watch online vidoes - you tube & others - with Firefox (I have the latest version 32) anymore. They start loading & playing & then sit there trying to load but won't go any further. On the other hand, I can use my older version of Internet Explorer to watch the same videos not problem. The play smoothly without stopping & starting. They play as the load. What had changed with my Firefox please? How do I fix this? I am still using Windows XP so prefer not to use Internet Explorer anymore. I hope someone had a simple answer and I don't have heaps of time to trawl through all the questions & answers on the forum! Thanks in advance :)

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Also, unrelated to Flash, the latest version of Firefox is version 33, you can update either by going to:
* Help (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > [[Image: Help-29]]) > About Firefox
Or download a fresh copy at:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
* (if you need a different localization) https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

I created a web page in MS Word and saved it as html; it has lots of graphics; the graphics load perfectly in Internet Explorer but in Firefox there is simply white space where the graphics should appear

The web page is not live: I just load it on my computer. When I convert the .docx file to .html, the graphics are saved by MS Word in the usual folder as image001.png, up to image032.png.
I'm sure this is a trivial problem but I can't crack it.
Many thanks. RS

Does that "local" page work in Internet Explorer, but not Firefox?
If so, it might be a \ vs. / problem with the file path for those images.

I was deleting some Wild Tangent games, computer went nuts, and now I can't get Firefox. I have to access the web through Internet Explorer (hate it). How do I get Firefox back. I've tried everything.

I had FF 4.0 Beta 12. While deleting some Wild Tangent games, everything went black and I haven't been able to get to Firefox since, (about 7-8 weeks. I click on the desktop icon for FF and I do get the FF screen with the FF icon on top left and the minimize, maximize and exit icons on the top right. However, the screen is just white and I can't open anything up. This is driving me crazy because the only way I can get to the internet is through IE and I hate it. I do get a crash report from FF and I fill it out and send it in with my email but I hear nothing from FF because I don;t think you get the report. I want my FF back and I'm going very frustrated trying everything and nothing works. Please, please help me if you can. Thanks, Cathy

Why does Firefox (3.6.12) try to access the Net as it starts, but before the Ffx window first shows & once more when the window opens, if I've set updates to manual and "about:blank" as my home page?

I click to load Firefox (3.6.12). The Comodo firewall warns me that Firefox is trying to connect to the Net. I block it, because I've not asked Firefox to do that, at that point. Then, when the Firefox window opens, the firewall warns me, again, that Firefox is trying to access the internet. I block it then, too. Use of Firefox is completely uncompromised by me doing this - that much is clear.
Surely, if I have turned off automatic updates and use "about:blank" as my browser startup page, Firefox has no need, and no place, attempting to connect to the internet until I ask it to, by clicking a bookmark in the Bookmarks toolbar, or until I type a URL into the address bar.
What is Firefox trying to do? and how can I stop it from trying to do it?

See [[Firefox makes unrequested connections]]

I can't access the itunes store...help please. I have a new nano, but cant access the store. It just tells me its "accessing..." but does nothing.

Please help. I have a new nano, but I cant access the iTunes store. When I click on the store it tells me I am accessing the store, but nothing happens. When I have clicked on the help function I am told my computer is not connected to the Internet, which is not correct - I usually have other sites running at the time.
Please help.
Thanks,

Try switch off virus scanner and firewall.

How to I access the equivalent of Internet Explorer's File/Login as... function?

When you visit a ftp site with Internet Explorer, you can click File/Login as... and login to see files that have been uploaded. I cannot find this function under Firefox.

You can add the username to the url in the location bar and will be prompted for the password. Use the format ftp://[email protected]
If you regularly use ftp, the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/684/ FireFTP] add-on may be of use to you, it enhances the ftp functionality of Firefox.

How can I stop the update to Internet explorer 9 pop up window that appears every time I open my Firefox, I don't want Explorer 9. Help!

It is an annoying popup window that should not be allowed to persist I say no every time. I found a fix for it in the UK but none for Canada.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, probably an addon is interfering here...

Rollover only works on the border in internet explorer but works fine in all other browsers

I created an aerial map and on specific areas I created a rollover, meaning when you rollover an the image of exp. a house a picture of the house pops up in bigger. It works really well in all browsers..... but in Internet explorer. In internet explorer nothing rolls over. but when I put a border, it does rollover but only when the mouse is on the border. I do not want the border there. I want it to rollover when teh mouse is on the area How can I solve this issue just for internet explorer.
Below is my coding i used:
In HTML:
<div class="map">
<img src="Img/map-of-area.png">
<div class="maparea">
<a class="volley" href="htmlmainhouse.html"> <span> <img src="Img/photos/map/fields.JPG" width="170" height="130" alt="sample" border="0" /></span> </a>
</div>
</div>
In CSS:
a.volley{
/* border: 2px solid red; */
height: 35px;
width: 90px;
position:absolute;
top: 310px;
left: 275px;
z-index:20;
a.volley {
display:inline;
z-index:30;
a.volley span {
display:none;
a.volley:hover span {
display:block;
position:absolute;
top:1em;
left:1em;
width:64px;
height:64px;

For rollovers on image maps, you'll get better cross-browser results with JavaScript functions. See link for details:

All of a sudden when I go to Bridge base using firefox, it says connection is lost. This just started and I can still access bridge base using internet explorer. Firefox no longer allows the connection. Why?

I have been using firefox to access bridgebase.com but all of a sudden as soon as I log in to that website, it says the connection is lost. It doesn't do that on my laptop, only on this desktop. Can you help?

I get the following error message whenever I try to access email from Dice JobAlert. I don't receive the error for any other email I receive and I also don't get the error message when I access the email using Internet Explorer.

This is the error message I received: A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: http://sz0150.wc.mail.comcast.net/zimbra/js/Startup1_2_all.js.zgz?v=110527090709:822

Their browser detection script is out of date. The warning seems to come from this file: http://virus.info/api/load/file/js , specifically, the badBrowser() function.
It's checking for "Firefox/1", which it finds as part of "Firefox/10".
Perhaps point them towards this blog post: http://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/01/firefox-goes-2-digit-time-to-check-your-ua-sniffing-scripts/

I can open my yahoo mail in internet explorer but I canot open in mozill firefox why?

give me error 404

Hello,
Try '''Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)
You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled... '''menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"
'''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems] article for that.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.
Thank you.
