Installing a few addons prevents loading webpages

After installing a few addons, firefox ceases loading pages. I uninstall the addons. Firefox still cannot load pages. I uninstall and delete firefox.I redownload and reinstll firefox. Install a few addons. Firefox cant load webpages. I repeat the above.
I have changed the addons to try to identify which addon may be causing the problem but still dont know. I tried image blocker app, save as text app and desktop mode app. These features should be preinstalled in firefox. Opera Classic and Orweb browser have preinstalled image blocker. They also have preinstalled desktop view that remains on and works unlike firefox. Unfortunately, they dont have save as text and cant render all websites which are the only reasons i am still struggling with firefox. firefox needs to have more preinstalled features that work.

HI freebirds,
Thank you for your question. I understand that Firefox will not load webpages.

Ever since installing a VPN (astrill), Firefox won't load webpages until Astrill is connected.

I installed a VPN, Astrill, and since Firefox won't load webpages unless it is on and connected. Once the initial connection has been made, I can turn off the VPN and firefox continues working. I'm on a windows 8.1 operating system. Has anyone had similar problems?

Try going to your Add-ons > Extensions, and disabling the Astrill extension.

When I try to install an Add-on, it loads completely and then says "A few seconds remaining" and never progresses. What should I do to remedy this?

When I try to install an Add-on, it loads completely and then says "A few seconds remaining" and never progresses. My connection and computer are working fine. I have the latest version of Firefox, it is up-to-date. I am getting this Add-on for the mozilla website, what do I need to do differently?

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

You can set the pref browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone -> false

Snow leopard 10.6.8 wifi connected, cant load webpages

hi!
just yesterday my computer showed this problem with the internet. as the title says, it is connected to the wifi network (as it has always been) but i face the following problems:
i cant load new webpaged in google chrome and firefox (which are the ones that I actually use)
i can load webpsged that were already saved as bookmarks.
i can load webpages in safari
my icon for dropbox shows a red cross icon
utorrent works just fine
outlook (the software) get's my new emails
what i tried to solve it:
checked that my wifi networks work perfectly fine with other devices in the house
restart computer
changed DNS to one that was suggested in another thread in this discussions site
resetting NVRAM/PRAM
checked that it is updated
so, i read that some people had similar problems with the new 10.8.2 for mountain lion, or sth like that... but in my case i have snow leopard so i don't think thst's the problem

Hi, this has worked for a few...
Though all of these steps may or may not be needed, I'm including them all.
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.5, 10.6, 10.7 & 10.8…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
If using Wifi/Airport...
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(There may be better or faster DNS numbers in your area, but these should be a good test).
Click OK.

Hi Deepak!
This seems to be a well-known and quite widespread problem with this extension, unfortunately - the net is full of complaints about this issue, not to mention 'horror stories' about how this (otherwise fairly innocent and well-certified but clearly highly commercial) extension has 'sneaked' its way into peoples installations.
I find it quite amazing that such an issue has existed for so long without the Browser Highlighter, TinyMCE and FCKeditor teams getting together and making a working fix - it should be rather easy to prevent with a tag or plugin check in editor code and/or a simple editor recognition routine in the extension.
If you want (/need) to use this extension, I can only point you to the Browser Highlighter homepage for support; in [http://thebrowserhighlighter.com/help.jsp The Browser Highlighter Help section] it is clearly documented - first section, last paragraph - along with a link to [http://thebrowserhighlighter.com/blacklist.jsp this problem report form] where it seems you can ask for help solving the problem.
However, given the (script-)name of the page, I suppose that reporting a problem on your own website (with all details) actually adds your site - or part of it - to a blacklist that TBH maintains to turn off TBH or at least problematic script injections when visiting sites registered in this list. So actually this might help you solve the problem quite easily, if they do what the page implies.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help more users with similar problems.

Loading webpage problems

hey guys,
Im having a bunch of problems with loading webpages all of a sudden. I have Mozilla, firefox, and netscape. (accidently deleted safari) and cant get it back until I upgrade from 10.2.8 to at least OS 10.3. Anyway, I have problems getting onto Ebay it all started with Mozilla and once I found out that it wouldnt let me on I switched to firefox after 2 to 3 days later I started using netscape now I cant get on at all using any browser. Even on some of my other pages it loads the page just fine but has troubles loading the pictures. Why am I having so many problems I think its a software problem. I took my computer home over thanksgiving cause I was having the same problems before then and hooked it up to the network at my other house and it worked great there I had everything back. Now its all gone again. Why? I dont think its a networking problem but a software issue.( I need help with in the next 12 hours before 2 pm central time).

The Solution?
REINSTALL OSX using the Install DVD.
I called APPLE Support and we went through a troubleshooting process to rule out Network Issues, Software Issues, File Issues and Hardware Issues. This process was very thorough.
In the end, we used the Operating System Installation DVD to reinstall the system, which took about 60 minutes including downloading the updates. Reinstallation did not affect any files or lose any applications. Everything was as I left it -- nothing was missing. Easy.
Now everything is back to normal.

Itunes sound distorted when loading webpages

Hi,
I recently got a new laptop (like a week ago) and installed iTunes 9. This worked fine at first, but starting yesterday the sound gets distorted half the time I load webpages or open applications.
I've had this before on older computers, and assumed it was because of their limited technical capabilities. I don't think that's the case here, though.
Does anyone have any idea where the problem could be situated? Or might it be technical after all?
Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Steven

Sounds like your audio midi settings are not being stored properly.
I'd try deleting com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist and resetting
audio midi.
As you know, iTunes only reads the audio midi settings when it starts
up, so I'd do that with itunes not running.

Web browsers not loading webpages

Overnight, a couple of days ago, my web browsers (Safari and Chrome) both stopped loading webpages. When I click on a link, I get a blank page. But when I am logged as a guest or browse through Vmware's windows I can still browse normally. Thanks for helping to fix this.

Thank you Carolyn,
I've got Sophos installed from long time ago. That's the only antivirus that is installed.
Checking in firewall settings didn't help I think, cause even after desactivating the firewall temporaly didn't fix the issue in both web browsers.
This issue is not discussed in Mac malware guide.
Another detail, is that some web content will load like this discussion group or google search. But If I click on any item from google search, the page won't load.

Mac Pro Slow to load webpages

Almost overnight, My MacPro (late 2009 Dual Quad, 2 1Tetra HD) started to REALLY slow down when loading webpages on both Safari and Firefox. Some times , I will get the "safari can't find browser" message...and if I try it again, it will load....after it loads and I go back to in within the same internet session, it is usually ok. And these are my topsites that I go to all the time. Did not know if anyone had any ideas. I tried to find if there were some type of diagnostic software, but could not find it.
Could I possibly have a virus...if so any suggestions on how to rid myself of it.

My MacPro (late 2009 Dual Quad
Sig shows 10.4 my friend!
Also, 3 x 2GB (or 4 x 2GB) is basic, I would hate to see someone running with less than 6GB, and some have a need for 12-24GB easily.
Keep your system in good shape with SuperDuper and Disk Warrior (clone it over to a new drive). Installing a system and apps can really fragment all the free space and while files may not be, it still helps to clone once in awhile, and optimize free space etc.
For some apps, 8GB really is not a lot (CS4/5 for instance_) though I'm sure you'll find those that say their system is 'fine' with that amount for their work. Others really need more (fast raid0 for boot; scratch; and media).
Avoid 'green' drives for active work. And while fast, a full 1TB drive full track seek is still going to be slow... another reason to clone/optimize.

Problen pening FIRST email when opening Gmail. Takes few minutes to load.

Updated to new firefox as I had problem when I tried to "open a new tab". After installing update I now have problem opening FIRST email when opening Gmail. Takes few minutes to load. After the first one, then all the others open instantly w/no problems. I have not noticed other problems on computer.

No problems here, so no fix required.

Safari is loading webpages extremely slow and not loading images...

Not loading webpages a lot of the time and not loading images on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. I'm new to Mac and I'm running Safari on a Mac Mini. Help? Also deleted ~/Libraries/Safari and it didn't work.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Cannot directly open the browser from the icon. "problem loading webpage" and "timed out" are the messages. Access was accomplished by using yahoo messenger and opening my email. if I attempt to open a new page, I recieve the aforementioned warnings.

no link to open access to the internet. I used Yahoo Messenger, clicked on the 'mail icon' and since Firefox is my default it opened and I was able to continue from there. If I try to click File, open New Page, I get the "problem loading webpage" and "connection timed out" messages

changed my homepage to Yahoo. Now Firrefox works but still cannot access ANYTHING 'Google"!

A Critical error encountered while loading webpage.

Was running 2.1.51 and when browsing to the status link while logged in to the web gui I got a blank web page with the following text:
A Critical error encountered while loading webpage.
Reboot router - log back in - can go anywhere except the status page -- get same error page
made the mistake of downloading and upgrading firmware to 2.1.71   = upgrade completed successfully = presented with the new login screen confirming that the box is running the new code -- now when I log in - I don't get in rather the previous error page - and cant get anywhere.
A Critical error encountered while loading webpage.
the url is https://192.168.75.1/scgi-bin/platform.cgi   but it doesn't load only displays the error.
could someone share another valid management url for the box so I can at least try to get in somewhere before attempting to factory reset this POS ;-(
thanks.

Thanks for the response.   Based on the number of crickets that I heard after asking the question, I did indeed factory reset the box. Luckily I had a backup of the config so it wasn't too painful to restore.
I beleive the root cause co-incided with the expiration of the trend micro web protection gateway service.
For whatever reason, I did not receive any notification that the service was to expire but the error experienced was noticed just two days after the subscription expired... I had successfully logged in without issue and was able to view the status tab only a week earlier.
be sure to pay the cisco tax on time or they'll lock you out of your box was the lesson learned...
