I can't load internet after resetting Firefox due to proxy setting problem

I reset Firefox because I received a message that I could do this to speed up the starting process. When it finished I am not able to get into the internet. i get a message that the proxy setting is not working. I don't know how to fix this problem.

Separate Issue; Update your
Flash Player '''v15.0.0.189 http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/'''
Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
Check the settings.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

A few selection of websites after fully loading become blank and start an infinite loop of loading. I reinstalled firefox once already and the problem persists. What can I do?

A few selection of websites after fully loading become blank and start an infinite loop of loading. I reinstalled firefox once already and the problem persists. What can I do?

Sorry I do not know what the problem may be. 
If no-one comes up with better ideas of what causes this then my questions and suggestions:
What do you mean by an infinite loop ? 
The page loads and then goes blank. What exactly happens next, does the page fully load and fully display again before going blank, and repeat this cycle endlessly in the same tab.
You do say the problem persisted in safe-mode and you had looked at the basic troubleshooting article. Buy that you can stop the problem by disabling javascript.
* did you disable all plugins - and did you still get the problem then ?
As you mention disabling javascript stops the problem, have you tried with Java script enabled but
* block popups ON
* load images automatically OFF
* advanced options - ALL OFF What happens do you get the problem then or not.
While on this firefox site if I look at the error console Ctrl+Sift+J or Tools -> Error console If I clear the console content and reload the webpage the error console shows only a couple of messages. YouTube home page give a lot of yellow triangle warnings about 200, but no red warnings, do you get red warnings.
You could also try on the problem sites eg YouTube changing the permissions with tools -> Page Info | Permissions
Did you try the Basic Troubeshooting suggestion of making a new profile. (Heeding the warning not to delete settings, otherwise you loose all bookmarks etc) did that help ?

Can i access Internet Explorer using firefox?

The website I need to access says it will only accept Internet Explorer. Can I download Internet Explorer from Firefox?

Your best bet is probably to get a copy of the Windows operating system. The other option is a hardware emulator which most non technical users won't choose. A hardware emulator is not guaranteed to work either. If you do a search on Google for Wine HQ you will find Wine one of the most popular hardware emulators.

How do I prevent Firefox from locking up when I click on "Save As" under the "File" menu (resetting Firefox didn't solve the problem)?

I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium OS on Dell XPS 420 system. Firefox locks up each time I click on "Save As" under the "File" menu. Resetting Firefox did NOT solve the problem. If, instead of using Firefox, I log on to a website using Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer, the "Save As" feature works fine, as it should. I would occasionally like to save a web page, using "Save As" while using Firefox, instead of copying the page to a Word Document, and then saving it.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

After resetting firefox, I can no longer search from the address bar

Like the title says I can't search from the address bar "awesome bar" anymore. I just get a 404 error when I try. Searching just lists tons of people getting the "just update keyword.url" answer that's no longer valid. And hasn't been for several years.
I got a browser hijack somewhere. Not sure where, and nothing was installed on my computer so I reset firefox and lost all my search engines. IE was fixed with an uninstall/reinstall. Chrome hates my face and no longer runs. (And google's help is... well if I wanted to be insulted...) I've reinstalled several times. No dice. I've now reset firefox three times. It's just not working. I've ran several virus scanners, ran several malware programs, and even asked my IT department. (They don't care cause IE works and their stupid "virus scan" was clean. I mean it took 30 seconds. What the hell did it actually scan?)
Surely there's a keyword or something that I'm missing that needs to be reset so I can get my address bar searching again.

Current Firefox versions use the default search engine that is set in the search bar as well for searching via the location bar and on the about:home page.
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extension (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extension+and+themes
You can check the connection settings.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network : Connection > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

Even after resetting Firefox, I can't bookmark pages, what can I do?

Recently I am unable to create new bookmarks. It seemed to happen after the most recent Firefox update but it could be a coincidence. There is no maware or adware on my computer so I don't believe it is related to that kind of issue. I tried basic things like deleting my cache, cookies, ect. but nothing happened. I restarted my computer and Firefox multiple times and still nothing. Finally I looked it up in your forums and tried a few different things; starting Firefox in safe mode and then trying to create bookmarks, deleting the 'prefs.js' file, and even resetting Firefox. I read one forum that recommended that I check the 'places.sqlite' for corruption but I'm not sure how to do that. I did, however, confirm that the file was not marked as read only. I saw that I could delete certain files butt I wasn't sure which files were okay to delete without losing my bookmarks. I don't mind losing any of my preferences, but my bookmarks on Firefox are the one thing I need to keep. Please let me know how I can resolve this issue. Thank you.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

After resetting firefox as it crashed unless on safe mode can't use google search engine

I had to reset Firefox after it crashed unless in safe mode I tried the disable hardware acceleration still crashed so reset. Lost all my bookmarks and history etc and my google search bar no longer works in fact my search bar doesn't work whichever search engine I try and I can't sync either as I have an unknown error

After a reset, you should find an Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop. If you can find that, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data from it. Is it there?
On your question about your Google search bar, is it the built-in Firefox search bar with the search engine selection drop-down on the left end?
Do any of these search boxes work:
* Address bar (also known as URL bar)
* Built-in Firefox home page (if you use it)
* Built-in new tab page (if you use it)

I can't load gmail properly in Firefox. I've cleared cache, cookies, etc. Happens on more than one computer.

I can not load gmail properly. It refuses to load and suggests loading Basic HTML for slow connections. I do not have a slow connection and have no problem loading gmail in Explorer. This is happening on both Firefox and Firefox Developer. The Firefox Developer problem just happened with the new upload this evening. Regular Firefox has been happening for a couple of months. It happens on both my work computer and my home computer. I tried everything suggested including the suggestion to delete cookies, cache, and the cookies.sqlite file.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

Can't login even after resetting password using install disk

I have been unable to login in using the password on this computer. Twice now I have reset the password using the install disk that came with the computer. After resetting. I quit the installer and then reboot using the computer's startup disk. When I try to login with the new password, it won't let me uses the password even though the new hint is correct. How can I solve this?

I think you have two choices...
Reset OS X Password Without an OS X CD...
http://theappleblog.com/2008/06/22/reset-os-x-password-without-an-os-x-cd/
It'll boot like a newly setup Mac, but all your stuff should still be there once filling out the stuff.
Or, an Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
But first...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes. (May or may not work)

After reseting Firefox my profile has gone missing. How do I fix it?

Profile Missing pops up with message "your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
I have reset Firefox before without a problem. This is about the third time.

Did Firefox move your old profile to the desktop as "Old Firefox Data"?
It is possible that something went wrong with creating or updating the profiles.ini file, but may have created a new profile.
Are there still profiles here:
*C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.

After resetting Firefox, LCD screen has lost some of its sharpness - like there are pixels missing - WHY?

I have a PC running Windows 7 Ultimate. Lately when I am in Firefox (running most current version), if I try to open more than one tab, Firefox slows down and I get the message "Mozilla Firefox not responding"; within a few seconds whatever site I am trying to open in the new tab opens; Firefox just seems to be sluggish. I finally tried resetting Firefox. After I did the reset, I noticed that the images on my monitor (Acer LCD S200hl) seemed to be less clear, even the wallpaper. As I type this, there appear to be holes in the image on screen, as if pixels are missing. Some of the letters look as if they are not completely filled in. The only change is that I reset Firefox.
Any help will be appreciated.

In case it's an incompatibility between Firefox and your graphics card driver, try disabling Firefox's use of hardware acceleration. You might have done this once before, but of course, the Reset turns it back on.
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
This will take effect after you exit and restart Firefox. Any difference?

How can I retreve bookmarks after uninstalling firefox

My husband uninstalled firefox due to it crashing. In the process it looks like all my years and years worth of bookmarks have gone. He installed the latest version of firefox which is working fine. But I cant find/import any old bookmarks. I didn't back them up, but from what I have read firefox does back them up automatically. Please help me. I will be lost without them. I have done a system restore but it didn't help.
Many thanks
Sonja

Thank you very very much. He had deleted all data! I had not heard of that software before. So I downloaded the free version, ran it, searched for bookmark and the JSON file appeared. I recovered it and restored it very very simply.
I really can not thank you enough for providing this very useful information. You have made my day :)

After reset iphone 4 to factory setting, i can't charge my hp

Hi,
I resetted iphone 4 to factory setting so i can pass it to my brother since i brought a new iphone 5. But when my brother took over this iphone 4, he can't charged the iphone & it seems that the battery can't hold the power. Tried using both charger & USB, the same problem persisted. Does anybody experience such problom? thanks.
Regards,

I tried that but I still got the message "Unable to verify account information." I saved it anyway and when I go to the Exchange email account it says "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed." We are running Microsoft Exchange 2010 and I was always able to sync my calendar and email before I upgraded to IOS 6.
