Just downloaded Firefox - and IT WOT WORK. It wont even open up it's own support pages, I just get "secure conection failed" msgs no matter what page-USELESS!

I've just downloaded and istalled Firefox. IT WILL NOT WORK. No matter what site I try open up (included Firefox's OWN support site) I get the following:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to support.mozilla.org. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). (Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
The only reason I installed this is because an academic site I need to use requires Firefox ( my IE 10 is not compatible apparently). This is the MOST useless browser I have ever tried! I mean common SERIOUSLY? I haven't even changed settings, installed add ons, or anything! So whats the point of this browser if you need to be a computer WHIZZ in order to fix it before you can use it? OMW!
I have already reinstalled the damn thing but still useless....

Hope this is useful, though I still think it's silly something so "good" should be SUCH an effort to get to work... I'm almost over the effort already> As I said, if it wasn't for the fact that my academic website can only USE Firefox I would have deleted it and not even bothered trying to resolve....

  • My Safari suddenly stopped loading Facebook, Google and YouTube. Why? I downloaded Firefox and it's working really well! What's going on?

    Over the past two or three weeks, my Safari has bogged down. It will load most Web pages just fine, but YouTube, Google and Facebook just won't launch. I managed to use it to download Firefox and it's working great. Safari is still a no-go.

    Hi Jake ...
    Those three sites require the Flash plugin.
    Quit Safari.
    Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try one of those sites.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    If uninstalling and reinstalling Flash didn't help, it could be a cookies issue.
    Back to the Safari menu bar again, click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Click Show Cookies. Then click Remove All > Done
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

    I've just installed CS6 creative suite mainly for photoshop CS6. It comes with camera raw 7.0.something, but need something newer to use my canon 6d. When I download camera raw 8.5 and install the raw converter doesnt work anymore, wont even open or isnt available anymore in the plugin list. Tried to reinstall everything for a few times, but nothing helps.

    When I search for updates the raw converter doesnt get update automaticly. Frustrating, is costing me the whole morning.

  • I just downloaded firefox ,and I have no home butto,or back buttonor refresh button

    I just downloaded firefox and dont have buttons for home ,refresh,or back

    * If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
    * Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
    * If you see a missing item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window onto one of the toolbars.
    * If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • My ipad 2 just shows itunes and plug icon my computer wont take new version of itunes too old how do i get my ipad 2 working do not care about saving data just want to use this very expensive useless item!

    My ipad 2 just shows itunes and plug icon my computer wont take new version of itunes too old how do i get my ipad 2 working do not care about saving data just want to use this very expensive useless item!

    My iPad2 works great now after IOS 8.1 Update
    I did my iPad2 update thru iTunes on my iMac and it was sucking the iMacs memory very low during the update. Safari froze before loading the first web page and I did a hard boot and went fishing as I saw where it was going to take a long time to recover. When I tried again it wasn't quite right and then did one more hard boot and then did a Reset by going to General-Reset-"Reset all Settings" and it works real well now without loosing any data and in-home wi-fi clocks at 17Mbps download. Probably like most of you I’m sticking with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks as it gets the job done very nicely and don’t need all that extra fancy stuff that probably will slow things down.

  • I just downloaded Mavericks and now my AutoCAD 2012 won't open. What do I do?

    I just downloaded Mavericks and now my AutoCAD 2012 won't open. What do I do?

    Autocad 2012 is NOT Mavericks compatble.
    So, you either need to find and pay for an upgrade AutoCad 2013 which is compatible with OS X Mavericks or pay to upgrade to AutoCad 2014.
    If you have a cloned backup of your previous system before upgrading to Mavericks, it would have been easy to revert back to your previous OS X version.
    If you don't have a previous backup, your only option, now, is to create a backup of your system and important data , now, to an external hard drive. Once you have a backup, you need to purchase and clean install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (if you haven't purchase Mt. Lion already).
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
    AutoCad 2012 is compatble with OS X 10.8. You'll have to reinstall all of your applications including AutoCad.

  • My iTunes is not working, it wont even open

    My iTunes is not working, it wont even open. It bounces up and down and then stops.

    Hello Gabriellevanderelst
    Start with testing iTunes in a different user on your iMac and see if it opens. You may just need to reinstall iTunes to resolve the issue.

  • I have just downloaded Firefox and browsed with it but in the box headed 'a little housekeeping' the green line is only approx 90% complete. Does this matter please?

    Today I downloaded Firefox and successfully accessed my online bank account which IE wouldn't allow me to do so. However, whenever I logon, the box headed 'A Little Housekeeping' appears which has the green line indicating the progress of a little housekeeping frozen at 90% completion. Does this matter?

  • Just updated firefox and it's wider than my screen, i have to scroll over to the right just to log in on a web site i never had to do that before. How can i change that?

    had to replace motherboard, before i didn't have to scroll over to sign in to my account. Just updated firefox and it seems wider than my screen tried adjusting the size of the web page but that didn't really work all that well, open for suggestions please.

    This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar extension

  • I just downloaded firefox, and am being asked to download adobe flash player. I already have this app.

    nuff said. Why does firefox not recognize the app? why is it asking me to save download (zip file?) instead of just downloading file when prompted? I'm tempted to just give up and let google chrome keep spying on me. At least that service didn't literally start giving me headaches the minute I downloaded

    There's two versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE and the Plugin version for most other browsers. Firefox needs the Plugin version.

  • I just downloaded Firefox and want to cancel it.

    I got on a site & wanted to download music but it said I had to have one of three downloads. One was Firefox so I downloaded it. I don`t want Firefox (it did not help me anyway). I want to go back to Internet via Explorer on my Start menu. You may gather I am NOT good at this computor stuff!

    Go to Add/Remove Programs in Windows Control Panel and then scroll down to '''Mozilla Firefox''' and click '''Remove'''. Make sure you checkmark the box which enables you to remove your bookmarks, customizations etc.
    Then reboot and go to C:\Program Files and delete the folder called "'''Mozilla Firefox'''".
    Sorry to see you go.

  • I just downloaded Firefox and it replaced Mozilla completely and I lost all my bookmarks. Anyway to get them back??? I wouldn't have upgraded if I knew this would happen.....

    I upgraded from the old Mozilla browser to Firefox and all my bookmarks disappeared. Now what do I do? Also does Firefox have an email system? I'm using Mozilla but don't want to lose all my emails.....thanks

    Do you mean you were using Mozilla Seamonkey - or something even older - sometimes called 'The Mozilla Suite'?
    If it was SeaMonkey (or the old Suite) then the bookmarks may still be in your SeaMonkey profile:

    Firefox does not include an email client. You could use Mozilla Thunderbird

  • I just downloaded firefox and it operates extremely slow, taking several minutes to change screens when clicking on a website.

    I am unable to use firefox at all. It takes so long to do anything after the first web page loads. Once the first page laods, it freezes and takes several minutes to do anything

    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 or otherwise make changes.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I just loaded Firefox, and the first time I try to open it, I get the message "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I tried deleting and reloading to no success. Any clue about what is wrong?

    I downloaded the free Firefox system from the web. I have not been able to open the system since loading it.

    I can not find any of the files you address.
    I am tying to install Firefox for the first time. SO, if that is the case, how can any of these various files exist? I cannot access the contents of my "Application support" folder.
    I have tried to delete Firefox and start over, and the same error message comes up.
    I guess my frustration is how can I have a profile if I do not have Firefox installed?

  • Just downloaded Firefox and love it, but my scroll feature doesn't work in this browser. Can this be turned on?

    I cannot scroll by running my finger along the mouse. I must move over to the sidebar and pull it down. My scroll setting is still turned on within system preferences. Is there a way to turn scrolling on within Firefox? Thanks.
