I've just updated to Firefox 3.6.2 and when I try to open it all I get is a blank page which says Service Unavailable, try again later.

There are no more details. That's exactly what happens.

I have the same problem. I have never had a problem with Firefox before, and use it as my main browser. However recently, after updating to 3.6.8, its been crashing all the time. Up to 20 times an hour. Usually it occurs when I click a link from a Google search, or in Yahoo. Even if I send in a crash report and restart Firefox, it crashes as soon as the same page is brought back up, or the same link is clicked. I have also had it crash when completely idle. Its very frustrating as it is my favorite browser. I've resorted to using Google Chrome for the time being.

I just updated to Firefox 9.0.1 and when using Yahoo mail I can no longer send an SMS. What happened?

Selecting the drop down arrow displays the SMS option. Clicking on it does not show any activation. Has always worked before.

Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem ---- you have both installed. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

Upgraded to 3.6. Now when Firefox loads, I'm unable to bring up any websites? All I get is a blank page. Firefox used to work just great - until I upgraded to 3.6.

If you aren't able to connect in Firefox, but can connect with other programs, the most common cause is a firewall. See [[Firewalls]] for instructions on configuring firewalls.
Other possibilities for broken connections include:
* Proxy settings can be misconfigured. Check these the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel Advanced panel of the Options window].
* You are in offline mode. Make sure "Work offline" in the File menu is ''unchecked''.

Firefox was working previously but when I click to open it all I get is the top blue Windows bar with Mozilla Firefox labeled in it and a blank white window. What happened to everything?

June 25 my virus software detected a threat from milkiwals.com and zonedg.com. Although the virus software said it contained the threat, I continued to get a widow opening asking if I wanted to run an unknown program in a sandbox, and the same threat alerts would continue every few minutes. I then noticed a new exe running in the task manager labeled conhost.exe. I removed it to the trash the threats stop, but would come back when I did a restart, so I did a system restore to June 24. I restarted the computer with no more alerts. I thought everything was fixed so I shut down the system for the night. But when I restarted the computer on the 26 I got the above describe Firefox problem.

This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote

I just got a notice to update my firefox to 4.0 and when I downloaded the new software it indicated: that I can't open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. Any ideas about what might be wrong and how to fix it?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

I have the same issue. The new address is fine when I use iTunes and on my iCloud account, but my iPhone has my old e-mail address and when I try to change it won't accept my new or old password to be able to do so.

Suddenly, Firefox won't load many websites. All I get is a blank page. I tried the fix suggested in knowledge base. Used 3 different virus/malware screens. No viruses, but some adware. Removed those, but it still doesn't work

Many common websites won't load, all I get is a blank page. I am running Windows Vista. Tried virus scans, got rid of some adware but it still doesn't work. I am now using Google Chrome. I've used Firefox for many years, but this isn't acceptable
== URL of affected sites ==

== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4

Update: This is NOT just related to "Yahoo" pages, while this problem first began with some of my Yahoo pages, it is now also happening with other NON Yahoo things I want to load up. Like Twitter, or Links in emails that load Blank, or even images within emails that show up Blank in the preview part of Yahoo mail. It is NOT a Yahoo issue as I have loaded up my Yahoo Mail in IE and Chrome, and everything loads wonderfully. I can even load up sites like Twitter, and other websites that will NOT load in Firefox, but they come up fine in other Browsers.
I have done the ONLY suggestion that came from Firefox Tech support, to load up FF in Safe Mode, but the problems still exists. I have uninstalled FF and re-loaded it, but the same problem is there.
Does anyone have any ideas here at all? I can't seem to get any Fire Fox help, so I am reaching out to the community here to see if anyone can help.... Thank you !!

Just updated to firefox 3.6.8 and now my laptop's hard drive failed after subsequent firefox crashes.

I just updated to firefox 3.6.8 this morning after getting prompted to update as I started firefox. The firefox update successfully installed page said that I should update to the latest adobe flashplayer, so I did that as well, although that installation failed for whatever reason. I figured that I would update it later. I started watching live streaming videos on a website, and it was working for awhile, but firefox started to not respond. I tried opening up task manager, but even that started to lag and took minutes to open. The problem seemed resolved for awhile, but firefox started to not respond off and on, task manager stopped responding completely, explorer crashed, and my computer blue screened. It wouldn't even get off the blue screen after minutes of waiting, so I shut my laptop down manually. I'm positive that this couldn't have been a virus, since I only visited my usual websites, and I have both adblock plus and noscript installed. As for my laptop now, it won't boot to windows vista. I tried the hard drive test and failed. Now my laptop isn't even able to turn off no matter how long I hold down the power button. It's not an old laptop, so I doubt that it was just time for it to die.
I have always been a fan of firefox, but this is just horrible. I don't know if it was firefox's fault but it sure seems like it...
I'm currently on my older laptop, since my other one is obviously dead now. My broken one had vista installed and again, firefox 3.6.8 version.

I have the same problem. I have never had a problem with Firefox before, and use it as my main browser. However recently, after updating to 3.6.8, its been crashing all the time. Up to 20 times an hour. Usually it occurs when I click a link from a Google search, or in Yahoo. Even if I send in a crash report and restart Firefox, it crashes as soon as the same page is brought back up, or the same link is clicked. I have also had it crash when completely idle. Its very frustrating as it is my favorite browser. I've resorted to using Google Chrome for the time being.

I just updated to Firefox 3.6.12 and now every time I click anything online a new tab opens. How do I return to normal (clicking a link opens it in current page and tab)?

I'm used to clicking a link on a news story or any searched link on google and having my current page go there. Now my current page stays the same and any link I click opens in a new tab. This is very annoying. I just want my browser to go there.

Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar.

I am trying to reapply for the FAFSA online for school but when I click the "start now" button it takes me to a page which says I have an incompatible browser and need to update my Firefox.

I have the latest version and I tried updating anyways, but it still won't let me access the page to fill it out.

....I need to have it filled out and posted by 9/1/11 so if i could get into the website it would be a great help. It takes a long time or I would go do it on another comp at the library or something. Any help would be appreciated:) thankyou

I have just updated my iphone 4s to ios7 and when i download an app it says 'Waiting' on the icon then disappears.

I have been having problems downloading apps for a while now. I only just downloaded IOS 7 but I thought it would help me, it hasn't.
I go onto the app store to download and app, i enter the correct passwrd and the apps icon appears to be downloaded. The waiting sign appears on the icon and then the icon itself disappears, then on the app store it looks as though i have never tried to download it! PLEASE help! i didnt get Flappy Bird because of this issue! lol

Hi Nerdyninja12,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try this step first if an app download on your iPad is not completing:
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
App updates won't download on my iPhone, they just say waiting.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
If the download still does not complete, force close and re-open the App Store. Here's how to force close an iOS application:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
These steps come from this article:
iOS: Force an app to close
