I can't get fire fox to open ESPN, CNN, or HRBLOCK. It was running all of these last week. whats going on?

Doing my taxes last week, no problem. Now it won't open and tells me:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at hrblock.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Hi,
Please try '''No proxy''' in '''Tools'' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''Network''' > '''Settings''', if a proxy is not needed.

  • I can't get Fire Fox up on screan, just down loaded it.

    I have just down loaded fire fox and have an icon. but when i click on it nothing appears, it just goes to top corner. i have been using Internet Explorer

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe 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.

  • Can i get fire fox for apple Ipad 2?

    I have Fire Fox on my home PC love like to add to my apple I-pad 2 can tell me what will work?
    Thanks, Richard

    hello richard, due to apple's restrictive policies it is unfortunately not possible to implement & offer independent third-party browsers for idevices.
    <br>mozilla is prohibited to bring the rendering & javascript engine of firefox onto iOS, since apple is only allowing the use of its own webkit in the terms & conditions for developers - as long as this is the case, firefox and its addon ecosystem cannot be ported to iOS devices.

  • I have a PowerBook G4 version 10.4 (yes old) but I can't get Fire Fox to back after I tried to update. I had it two days ago and then I got ambitious and tried

    I have an older version of the Mac Laptop - Power Book G4. My version is Mac OS 10.4. I had FireFox and really liked it. Gmail said I needed to update my version of Firefox so I got ambitious and tried to update my version on my old hardware and software.
    Can I get an older version for my old computer?
    Or, can I get a newer version modified for my older computer?
    Thank you - Kip Dunn - ''personal information was deleted by a moderator''

    The most recent version of Firefox you will be able to use on a computer that old is FF 3.6.28. It is available here:

  • How can i get fire fox on a computer that does not have a web browser loaded

    i have a computer which has firefox loaded and wish transfer firefox to a computer which has no web browser loaded so i am unable to download the program from the internet i tried copying the program to a cd but it fails to load properly thanks.

    I seriously doubt that your PC is completely without a web browser of any kind. Every PC has internet explorer built in unless its been disabled. Try going to Start>Control Panel>Turn Windows Features On/Off to ensure that the box next to Internet Explorer is selected.
    You can also try going to Start>Accessories>System Tools> Internet Explorer (No-Addons). Once IE has been located or re enabled simply download Firefox as per usual on your other machines & install.

  • Can not get Fire Fox to register

    It says there is a problem,to check my spelling but it is right.

    Which words are you talking about? You've spelled Firefox(one word) wrong for a start.

  • Captivate 5.5 published files are not visible in Fire Fox or open in new window.

    When I publish and post Captivate 5.5, the HTML or the swf files do not display in Fire Fox (latest version) without forcing the file to open in a new window (if it displays at all). If it does work, the Flash security blocks the swf on an ugly view until the user clicks.
    I thought it was because I have to assign a direct URL to each component, but all of the other Captivate sites I have reviewed have the same issue when viewing in Fire Fox.
    IE will display after the active x is authorized (I can live with that).
    You Tube and other Flash display properly in Fire Fox, just not Captivate products.
    I have disabled off all plugins, modified the protected settings, and everything I could find listed in the Fire Fox help. I have installed a previous version of Flash and Shockwave Player. Short of reinstalling windows, it is not working and that will not help because the published content is not visible on any other machine in the office or at home.
    The files are in a Portal, so I cannot share them unless you are in the DoD and have an AKO or DKO account.
    However, here is another example of the Captivate not working.
    https://clc.dau.mil/games (this displays on some computers, but not all)
    http://www.hartisd.net/pages/uploaded_files/Assignment_Search.mht (After allowing the mht, this displays in IE)
    I am not sure if it has something to do with the other 2 published xml files that are not directly referenced in the html, but I just need either the swf or html to display in the iframe without forcing another window to display and without a lot of dependecy issues with other add-ons in Fire Fox.
    - Thanks!

    Any of the DAU games, if they display. It is a government site, so they have the standard gov garbage (stuff not working like certificates), but nothing is harmful nor can they do anything to track other than the current session.
    It is kind of weird how the content is displayed... It is not an intranet, it goes to a limited access portal. When I store content, it uses an absolute path instead of relative path. Very aggrevating when using many of the tools for non-programmers (like me), and probably more aggrevating for programmers.
    Whether I point directly to the .swf or to the generated HTML, the content displays in IE, but not in FF.
    It may be a combination of FF and Captivate. FF seems rather flaky in dealing with swf files. There is the consideration for add-ons, but I tried on a newly imaged computer and it still was not working. Even after going through all of the FF steps to get it to work.
    Basically we had to create a new HTML file to display the content because the Captivate published files don't work. However, the new HTML does not reference the XML files.
    When I publish, I get 5 different files, .swf, .htm, .js, and 2 .xml. When I dig through the code (once again, not a programmer, soo I may be missing something), even round tripping to Flash, I do not see how the .xml files are referenced at all.
    These may be different topics, not sure, it came up because I am trying to get a simple solution from the product that can be easily transferred to our production servers and available for Solders to access.
    - Thanks

  • Can't uninstall fire fox 34.0.5

    Using windows 7 can not uninstall fire fox I have try many times by restoring at numberous date etc. but can't get out of computer.

    '''[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Download Firefox Full Installer For All languages And Systems]''' {web link}
    Save the file. Then;
    Using your file browser, open the '''Programs''' folder on your computer.
    '''Windows:''' C:\Program Files
    C:\Program Files (x86)
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
    '''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
    Look for, and rename any Mozilla and Firefox folders by adding '''.old''' to them.
    Now run the full installer.
    If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done.

  • I can't download fire fox

    I can't download fire fox. When I try the screen just goes blank and nothing happens. I deleted fire fox as I was having some trouble with it and now can't get it back.

    The phone uses an ARMv6 cpu. Firefox Mobile releases support ARMv7 cpus.
    You can try the experimental ARMv6 build at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#ARMv6_.28experimental.29 there are no guarantees about the quality of this build.

  • Thanks so much for the offer of help. I'm using 10.9.2 OSX. I have Numbers 2.3 (554). I tried the new version but it was "dumbed down" so much (to make it usable on multiple platforms) that it was of no use on iMac.   I still can't get my contacts to open

    Thanks so much for the offer of help. I'm using 10.9.2 OSX. I have Numbers 2.3 (554). I tried the new version but it was "dumbed down" so much (to make it usable on multiple platforms) that it was of no use on iMac.
    I still can't get my contacts to open in Numbers like they used to do. I have a group of five addresses in a test folder in Mail called "untitled group." But no amount of pasting, dragging, etc can get them to open up in Numbers. My "real" folder has almost 100 addresses so I can't do it one by one.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks again.
    Bob

    Bob,
    You can place contacts in a table In Numbers by the following methods:
    Numbers 2.3:
    drag from contacts
    Numbers 3.2
    copy from contacts, then paste into Numbers
    In both cases you need to open System preferences, then select the "Security & Privacy panel and allow Numbers aaccess your contacts information.

  • I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app?

    I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

  • How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • How can I get a book to open that is downloaded on my Ipad 3, I have uninstalled, reinstalled. Held the turn off button and home button down to reboot, nothing has helped.

    How can I get a book to open in my nook app, it downloaded, and installed, it just want open, I have never had this problem before.

    This is entirely my complaint.
    I have to sit without useable internet for 5 days when there is no fault, before anyone does anything about it ? BT visit the village to do something for another customer, mess up my perfectly working broadband, and then refuse to do anything about it for 5 days. And I pay full price during that time. Let's just hope they don't come back to do something else within those 5 days !!!
    There isn't a fault with the line, it is perfectly stable. I just need somebody to use common sense and set the IP profile back to what it was.
    If the system is so clever, it could at least try moving off 135k to 512k say after an hour or so.
    I will try using that link though and see if somebody can do something !!
    Frustrated is not the word ! If I ran my business like this I'd have no customers left. I'm pretty sure that's not the first time somebody has posted that on here
