I can't access the internet with IE 11 on my PC so I would like to download Firefox on my laptop and install it on my PC. I've been using Firefox on my laptop.

I use Mozilla Firefox on my laptop and would like to install it on my PC because Internet Explorer 11 stopped working. I can't access the internet so I downloaded the Firefox setup on my laptop and saved it to run on my PC. It initializes, but can't connect to the internet to retrieve the program. How can I get around this and install your browser?

Download one of these installers: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If you machine can't connect to the internet to even download that though, you may have other problems (Using Firefox rather than IE is always a good choice though ;)
[[Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages]] might help. Also, [[Firefox and other browsers can't load websites]]

  • I can't access the internet with Firefox on my computer (Windows 7 PC). I have used Firefox as my browser for 1 year but 5 days ago it stopped working even though Internet Explorer worked fine. I can't solve the problem and need some help.Randy Brown

    September 26, 2011
    Dear Mozilla,
    I am having some difficulty accessing the internet with Firefox on one of my PC computers. I normally use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser and google is my homepage and gmail is my email system. The operating system is Windows 7. For over a year this system worked perfectly but a few days ago it stopped working. When I launch Firefox now I get the message that that website (www.google.com) is unavailable. In fact, I can’t access any website and I am blocked from the internet entirely within Firefox. My internet connection is fine because Internet Explorer works fine. I can access google and any other website within that web browser. I have investigated all the security issue I can manage and found no smoking gun. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Is Windows 7 compromising the effectiveness of Firefox? Any suggestions or other assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
    Sincerely,

  • I can not access ANY webpage...it is giving me a 403 Forbidden message saying I do not have permission to search on this server, yet, I have been using Firefox for months...this just started happening today?

    This message just started happening...I use IE as well and have no problems.
    I prefer Firefox and I hope you can resolve this.

    Who is your Internet Service Provider...?
    Do you have any computer which is able to go online wirelessly...?
    Have you forwarded any ports on the router...?
    Try to adjust the wireless settings on the router and check...

  • 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

    Thanks for your note. My tech dept could not come up with any explanation for the dictation tool not working. We have about 1,000 employees in our office - I think I will send an all employee message to see if anyone else has the issue.

  • TS1398 I have connected my iPad 2 to my Mac Air over blue tooth.  Booth say they are connected to each other.  But I can not access the internet on the IPAD.  I can connect over blue tooth from my iPhone to my iPad with no issue.  Any thoughts?  Thank you

    I am trying to connect my Ipad 2 to my Mac Air over bluetooth.
    I can connect them to each other, and both machines say they are connected over bluetooth.
    However I can not access the internet on the Ipad...says it is not connected to the internet.
    Does anyone know if you can fix this?
    THank you

    Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work.  Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
    Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
    Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

  • Networks will "connect" over Wifi, but DNS resolution is impossible and I can't access the internet.

    My OSX 10.7.5 iMac (late 2011) will connect to my university's wireless network and thinks it's connected to the internet, but cannot resolve any DNS - and cannot actually access the internet on any browser or internet-utilising app. My university has 2 networks, a regular wifi one and an eduroam one. I have the same problem on both networks. My MacBook, running Snow Leopard, and my iPad (latest software) both connect to both networks just fine.
    Because it's my university's network, i can't reset my router or anything like that. I'm in halls. I don't think it's a network issue, because all my other devices are fine.
    I've searched high and low on these forums but haven't found anyone having exactly the same problem as me - I've heard of odd few minutes of people losing their connections in this manner, but my computer's been down now for hours and nothing. I've restarted it many times, even once in "Recovery Mode" and I'm getting nothing. I've followed instructions to flush my DNS cache, renew DHCP leases, I've tried manually inputting various DNSes I've found (eg the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 google ones), none of which have worked.
    Using terminal, I can't ping either an http:// domain, or an IP address. Both get "timed out" as a response. I can't access the internet on any browser (chrome, safari, firefox), my google mail notifier, Skype, or my twitter app. Or anything else.
    I'm relatively computer literate, but I'm not particularly code-savvy, so I'd really appreciate it if I could get some step-by step help on here, bearing in mind what I've already tried. I'm really worried, because it all seems to have happened completely out of the blue. Last time I updated was some time a couple weeks ago; I update whenever my software update beeps at me.
    Thanks.

    Go step by step and test.
    1.Power Cycle
       Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
       Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
       It will take a while.
      Restart the computer.
      Start up in Safe Mode.

  • MY APPLE TV SHOWS THAT iT IS CONNECTED TO MY WIFI, BUT CAN NOT ACCESS THE INTERNET

    my apple tv found my wifi, but can not access the internet??

    I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

  • I can not access the internet through Nightly because of this message : COULD NOT FIND THE MOZZILLA RUNTIME.

    After i updated the browser i can not access the internet. Can you help me please?

    Hello LOUISE80, try a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    * Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    * Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->

    I went from an I-Phone 3GS to I-Phone 5, I can make phone calls out but I can't access the internet when I am away from my WI-FI connection... any ideas?

    but in the home with wireless internet access , it is continued when off, sometimes can not working,
    What does "it is continued when off" mean?
    And the same for "somtimes can not working"?

  • TS1814 ITunes can't access the internet for updates or restores?

    I'm trying to restore my iPod but my iTunes isn't accessing the internet for it. When I tired to update it it was still unable to access the internet, it can still access the internet for previously purchased songs and for the iTunes store. I'm using Windows 8. I already tried Apple's support, but I can't find an answer, anyone know a fix?
    I've already done everything that is on the generic support pages

    I had the same problem and this is what I did. On a side note and just a disclaimer as this may not be your issue, but helped with mine. Several months ago, I noticed that my XBOX 360 was not connecting to the live service. I disregarded it at that time because I did not use the Xbox live service much. However, several days ago, I switched security on my wireless router (Belkin N1) and found that my Apple TV could not connect to the internet, but would connect to my local network via wireless. My iMac also would connect, but no internet. I reset my router to factory defaults and found that the Apple TV was pulling a 169.XXX IP address. I had DHCP enabled on the router and I suspect this may be part of the issue, but I manually assigned an IP address to the Apple TV of 192.XXX. I also assigned a manual IP address to my iMac. Now both connect successfully, but is odd how I had DHCP working on both ATV and iMac before and were working. I've tried the Apple TV via wireless and wired and had the same problem before assigning a manual IP address. I assigned a manual address to the XBOX and it now works. The XBOX was also pulling a 169 IP address.
    Like I said before, this may be an issue with my router giving out or may be an issue with Mac products but I am not completely sure. I just know that manually assigning the IP address made both systems access the internet now.
    Hope this helps and if anyone else has a solution, please post.
    Thanks

  • Cannot access the internet with Safari

    Safari locked up and made me restart the computer. When I did, I could no longer access the internet with Safari. I could still get into the ITunes store, had internet contect come over my dashboard, but cannot get online. I spent two hours with customer service, emptying caches, re-installing Safari, etc. but still have no luck as of today. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    Welcome to  Discussions
    I grew up in the Delaware Valley - Delaware County/Media.
    Do you remember specifically what you were doing in Safari when it locked up, locking up your entire system. It's rare this happens in OS X.
    Also, which version of OS X Tiger are you using - the latest is 10.4.9? You can determine such by going to the Apple Menu in the upper left of the screen and selecting "about this Mac". The next panel will show you your OS X version, plus other information about your system.
    Regarding the inability to connect, try Safari from another User Account. In case you require it, here's how to set up another account:
    Here is guidance from Apple on how to set up the account. You can ignore step 7 in the article.
    Also, on the system preference>Accounts panel, click on "log-in" options. There, select "fast user switching". This allows you to go back and forth between user accounts via an icon in your Menu Bar at the top of the computer screen.
    Log-on to the new account and start Safari. If Safari connects to the internet in the new account, then your problem is specific to your regular user account. Otherwise, similar response means a system-wide problem.

  • My ipad mini doesn't have a web browser! Help. I can't access the internet or iTunes or the app store. The web browser icon isn't even there.Anyone know what to do?

    My ipad mini doesn't have a web browser! Help. I can't access the internet or iTunes or the app store. The web browser icon isn't even there.Anyone know what to do?

    I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
    All else fails? Restore it.
