I have always used Firefox, but after the last update I always get "unable to connect"

After an update Firefox began to connect, but ended up with "unable to connect" page.
I did another download. Same thing.
I did an uninstall and downloaded all over again and same thing. Unable to connect every time.
The dreaded IE works still. Just no Firefox

This was not a Firefox update, but a piece of malicious software you have inadvertently downloaded from a site called http://ffftp.co.cc/ which is impersonating Firefox.
I discovered this as soon as my Zonealarm firewall requested permission for "Golds" to access the internet. Golds??!! However I couldn't find a file with this name installed on my computer.
You should delete the file you downloaded and do not allow internet access to any suspicious program. You should also scan your PC immediately for any virus, malware, etc.
Best of luck.

  • Why do the tabs now have multiple favicon images showing after the last update?

    The last update to Firefox has created a problem with the tabs. The tabs now have multiple images of the websites favicon showing. When I open a tab and go to a website, when the favicon shows it will then create multiple images of that favicon. When I click off the tab and back on it, they disappear but this obviously should not be happening and didn't start until the last update was installed. I even did a Refresh and that didn't fix the problem. I tried to upload an image but the area just has a spinning wheel and the image size was only 5.41kb. Apparently that isn't working so well either. It appears Mozilla Firefox has created some bugs for it's browser and help forum.
    If anyone knows how to fix this or to get Mozilla to fix their problem, it would be appreciated. Thank you!

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (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

  • I have lost al my passwords after the last update. How do I get them back?

    All my passwords disappeared after the update to FF32. Unfortunately sync no longer supports password synchronisation so it seems that all my passwords are gone.

    Firefox 32 and later builds store the passwords in the logins.json file in the profile folder and no longer use the signons.sqlite file.
    If you still have the signons.sqlite file that was used in Firefox 31 and older then you could try to recover the passwords saved in that file (you will lose passwords saved in Firefox 32).
    You can force Firefox to reimport the passwords from the signons.sqlite file.
    * reset the <b>signon.importedFromSqlite</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to the default value via the right-click context menu
    * delete the <b>logins.json</b> file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed
    When you restart Firefox then you should have the signon.importedFromSqlite pref with the value set to true and you should have the passwords imported in the Password Manager unless there may have been errors.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

  • I'm using Lenovo A606 after the last update skype ...

    A606

    From your logfile
    [787100.353] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i740_drv.so: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i740_drv.so: undefined symbol: I740_Sync
    Corruption seems the correct assumption here; I'd boot using a rescue disc; then mount your actual system and reinstall all packages. After chrooting, that should be something like pacman -Sf `pacman -Qqet`

  • Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again while  playing music in iTunes.  It was fixed but with the last update it has started skipping again.

    Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again whil playing music in itunes.  It was working fine wit the prior fix, but after the last update
    it started skipping again. 

    Try it in another vehicle see if it still happens, at least you can narrow it down to your  phone or the car. My 4s play totally fine, I have never had any of those issues. Maybe its time to restore your phone and start over. I would also have someone else play their Iphone in your car, see if it happens to them. Or try yours in someone elses car. Good Luck!

    If nothing happens when you press the F11 key, check if you have the same problem in Safe Mode.

    go to '''TOOLS '''then '''OPTIONS''' then '''ADVANCED''' then '''NETWORK tab''' then '''SETTINGS tab''' and select the options '''NO PROXY''' click '''OK''' and '''OK '''again in the next screen. With that you have disabled the proxy settings.

    I have an I Pod Nano and would get messages to update my software.  In my I Tunes I have 1,900 songs but after the updates it will only sync 933 songs.  My current software version is 1.0.2.  What am I doing wrong or is it something in the software.  I have not done anything different in my I Tunes and all songs are checked.  Could someone please help or advise me what to do?

    Thank you Gail, but not to be ignorant but can I send you a print screen on what I am looking at.  I will try am explain what I see: I hooked up my I Pod Clicked on Music checked Sync Music 1909 Songs select Playlist, Artists, albums, and genres checked Include music videos Playlists checked 50's Music checked 70's Music checked 80's Music checked 90's Music checked 2000 Music checked 2010 Music   These are songs that I downloaded onto my I Tunes.  I bought me a new computer but when my data was transferred from old computer to new computer a lot of my songs on my hard drive were lost, but they were able to save all my songs on I tunes.  My I Pod is still connected Clicked on "On this Ipod" Music 938  Songs 2.2 days So my question to you is if I have 1,909 songs on my ITunes how come only 938 transferred to my IPod.  I checked my IPod and it shows only 938 songs transferred.  This did not happen before until I Tunes asked me if I wanted to update to a newer version.  Last month I did have all my 1,909 songs on my I Pod.  I hope this explains what I am asking

  • Hello Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have a problem in Java I can not open files, audio chat, which type of jnlp after the last update of the Java 2012-004 Please help me in solving this problem.

    Hello Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have a problem in Java I can not open files, audio chat, which type of jnlp after the last update of the Java 2012-004
    Please help me in solving this problem. 

    Make sure Java is enable in your browser's security settings.
    Open Java Preferences (in Utilities folder)
    Make sure Web-start applications are enabled.
    Drag Java 32-bit to the top of the list.
    jnlp isn't an audio file format. It's just a java web-start program (Java Network Launching Protocol).

  • I have a Iphone 4 and after the last software update iOS.0.4, my phone is no longer connecting to the wifi at my house.

    I have a Iphone 4 and after the last software update iOS.0.4, my phone is no longer connecting to the wifi at my house.
    My MacBook Air is connected and my roommates phones are also connected, but my iphone that always was connected to the same network is no longer connecting to the wifi.
    The network is shown on the device but I can't join it.
    Whats going on? Does someone know how to solve this issue?
    Thank you!

    Problem persisted after fixes were done so wife called apple today.           Their fix is to turn cellular off when in the house and turn it back on when she leaves- the 4 doesn't keep the password so she has to enter the password too... This wasn't a fix ...it's just resolving the connection problem... They also said that they made ios6 have security features so nobody can hack into the wifi without having the password and it has to be entered to use the wifi.  My 5 and the iPads stay on with no problems.  It's just the 4.        So far so good...she's had wifi all day when home.    It's inconvenient but it's either completely reboot it with iTunes (which doesn't work for her) or buy a new phone and she won't do that either.
    So...Apple is saying that she didn't have to do the updates either and could've stayed with the previous iOS     but !!!too late now!!!  We've updated because we think our phones will run better but the ios6 just made it a pita for users
    I wonder if the hackers of the world are having as many issues as the peeps who are just trying to use their wifi??

  • I have an ipod touch 4th Gen that everything was working perfectly. After the last update of iOs5, the battery have charge 20 minutes. Even after the correction of the iOS 5.0.1 the battery have the same 20 minutes. What I can do?

    Hi

    Same thing here. Try putting the brightness down all the way (its hard to see at first but you will get used to it) and one more thing is that close all you open apps. So to do that you have to click the home button twice (after you put your passcode in) and you will see some apps in the bottom. Hold it until there is a red - sign. click all of them so they go away. This does not delete your apps it just makes your ipod better.
