My Firefox currently in offline mode, cannot browse web. How do I make sure Firefox is permitted to access web??? Problem just started 2 days ago.

When I log on my desktop mac, and sign in, a screen pops up which states: "'''''''''Firefox is currently in offline mode and cannot browse the web.'''''''''
Make sure your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure Firefox is permitted to access web"??????
I have to log completely out, Restart my computer, then it will let me get online or browse net.

Did you check the Offline setting in File > Work Offline?

I am trying to download the latest version of Adobe and when I go to the Downloads place on my PC, it's not there. How can I make sure Firefox is not blocking

I know I have the latest version of the browser (because it told me so). When I hit the Download now button for the Adobe and indicate that I want to save it, it seems to take, but when I go to the Downloads on my Computer, it isn't there. I don't know where else to look or what else to check. I think I have successfully done this in the past, but it's been a while.

Do you have the "Green Arrow" icon on one of your toolbars? That usually will list your most recent downloads with a button to open the folder where they are saved.
If you don't have that, you can open the full download list using either:
* Ctrl+j
* Tools > Downloads
* History > Show All History, then click Downloads in the left column
Can you find the download listed there and click the "Open Containing Folder" button?
Are you downloading Flash or Acrobat/Reader?
For Flash try: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
For Acrobat/Reader, you may not need an update.
Firefox's plugin check site only recognizes the Adobe XI (11) series as current, but if you have checked for updates in your Adobe Reader X or Adobe Acrobat X product (Help > Check for Updates) then you do not need to update the plugin. For this older Reader/Acrobat version, please rely on Adobe for information on available updates and not the plugin check site.

How do I make sure Firefox will receive html pictures?

I am receiving e-mails but the images within the text are showing up as boxes with the following: "Linked images cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed or deleted. Verify the link points to the correct file and location." The sender suggested the question.

Is it just Firefox? Have you tried Win IE or another web browser
to see if the problem is there also? Normally, when you see that type of
error message, it means that link in the message is incorrect, or the
page, web-site, connection or something else is wrong.

How can I make sure Firefox will stop crashing?

I try going to www.blabbermouth.net (which is the website I use as a News Ressource for radiowork), and it always makes Mozilla crash. I'd need some assistance with this as soon as possible, thanks. Just let me know what to do based on my Crash ID...

Your plugins list shows that you have the Mozilla ActiveX plugin installed.
*Mozilla ActiveX control and plugin module
The Mozilla ActiveX plugin is not compatible with Firefox 2 and 3 and you should remove it. 
For instructions on how to remove the Mozilla ActiveX plugin see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/ActiveX
Also update your plugins to the latest versions.

I have a new service provider. How do I make sure Firefox knows where I am so I get local news updates etc. Do I need to contact the service provider or can I do something on my mac?

Just switched to At&t u-verse now my home page Yahoo is not coming up with local news. I can't remember how to tell it where I am. Any help would be appreciated

Actually you always use ethernet..
MBA does not come with ethernet port.. but apple sells both a cheap usb to ethernet and a much more expensive and much faster thunderbolt to ethernet adapter. With ethernet to eliminite this silly situation of setting up wireless over wireless, so if you make any change you instantly drops you off the network. Like cartoons of people sawing off the branch they are sitting on.
But you can reset.. no reset will do anything at all to the material on the hard disk. You must deliberately erase it.
Read the info because you may only need to do a soft reset. That is hold the reset for 1sec (2-3sec is fine) as long as you don't hold it for a full reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
Even a full factory reset will not harm your files in any way, (or any further!!)
I am "concerned" that you have no backup to vital files on your TC. That is not wise. TC are no more immune to failure than any other hard disk.. (actually latest ones use the cheapest green WD drives money can buy) and keeping files in only one location is a receipe for disaster. An external drive is much more accessible.. cheaper and tend to be more reliable. There are too many things to break in the TC.. it is designed as a backup target for TM. Not a file store.

Get error message "firefox is in offline mode, uncheck the work offline menu and try again " when trying to open firefox after downloading latest version of firefox

after downloading the latest version of firefox, when trying to open it I recieved the message, "Firefox is in offline mode. cannot browse web. Uncheck the work offline menu and try again". Have tried several times to open with same results. Have even uninstalled firefox and reinstalled latest version and still get meassage after trying to open.

thank you - that does make sense except i have another computer that connects to the internet in the same way but it doesnt happen on that one. i didnt change anything - it just started a couple of weeks ago after i updated firefox to 11.0. cant find any settings in firefox to alter either - thanks for the help

I just updated to 4.0.1 on my mac and now it says "Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the web". It is not my internet since I am using Safari just fine. Any suggestions? I sure wish I wouldn't have updated!

Firefox does not have a built-in "Run" option on downloads for security reasons. If you "Run" an item, your anti-virus/anti-spyware may not have an opportunity to fully examine the contents until it is already installed on your hard drive. Result: damage, if infected, is already installed on your system.
With that in mind, you can install the following add-on, but you accept the risk mentioned above ('''NOTE:''' the developer has not updated this product -- OR any of his other 7 extensions -- to be compatible beyond Firefox 3.6.x; therefore, when you upgrade to a more current version of Firefox, you may lose the functionality of the add-on if the developer does not update it.):

trying to log into firefox but keep getting firefox is in offline mode and can't browse the web, I've unchecked the work offline in the file menu but still get error message...

The work offline option can be found from Firefox button -> Web developer or from the menubar toolbar -> Work offline (Or at least thats what happens in Windows).
Have you any other reason for being offline; router off, firefox not dialing up or whatever. Or is security software or a firewall blocking firefox, or a network connection, or firefox setting etc set wrongly.

Why does my firefox switch to offline mode by itself, while i was browsing the internet?? is my computer hacked?

This has happened many times, with no apparent reason, i.e. when i tried to refresh a web page, or open a website, i got message to say that firefox was in offline mode (note, the internet had been working normal up to this minute), then i went to the File menu and I'd find that the "Work Offline" option had been ticked (but i did Not change any settings at all)
Btw, i am using Mac OS, and all the software are up to date.

Not hacked or such but if your connection should drop it could trigger Firefox to go offline.
For Firefox 3.5.* and 3.6.* users add this preference. Not needed if using Firefox 4.0.* as it is there and set to false by default.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_any_website#Work_Offline_Setting
Just type '''about:config''' in location (address) bar
Right-click on the '''about:config''' page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.
Name: '''network.manage-offline-status'''
Value: '''false'''

Firefox is showing offline mode on second time startup

Hello Experts,
I have integrated fennec code in my own application. The fennec code is running perfectly if I run it in different process (means once application and two processes , defined in manifest) But when I merge it in one process it will run perfectly first time , But when I go back on my application and run the browser again it shows me offline mode (Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the web).
It seems that the fenenc isn't exiting with proper steps. Can any body please help me?
Is there any proper steps that I have to do on destroy that GeckoApp.java ?

Firefox become in Offline mode and unable to open any page and when shut down it remains in processes and freez up, blocking another to be run

When I on my Laptop, Acer Aspire 5735 with Windows 7 Ultimate run Firefox all runs perfectly smooth, all is working as expected, but when I go to Sleep mode or Hibernate (Firefox remains open) after turning on Firefox is not active any more, all open tabs are there but surfing is unavailable. Firefox reports message that it is in Offline mode (but menu File > Work Offline is not checked and if I check it and uncheck it again it doesn't have any impact). Which means If I open new tab and write web address it wont open, if I click any link in opened tabs from before, it wont open anything and it will show message that Firefox is in offline mode. After that I shut down Firefox by using Close(x) button and it disappears from desktop but it remains in memory and active processes not allowing any other instance of Firefox to be run. Finally I shut it down on force (End process) and start another instance and all works perfect. I am not sure is this only my problem with hardware/software configuration so I wanted to share this.

This is a pain but I have resolved it. This is instructions for Windows 7 but it may be the same on other Operating systems.
Note: "''YOUR USERNAME''" relates to the account you log on to Windows with.
# First go to control '''panel / folder options''' and ''uncheck'' ''''Hide extensions for known file types'''', ''check'' ''''Show hidden files and folders'''' and ''check'' ''''Show hidden operating system files'''' then click ''apply'' and ''OK''.
# Go here :''' C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\''' and copy the '''Profiles''' folder to your desktop.
# Go here : '''C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\''' and copy the '''Profiles''' folder to your desktop. You will need to rename this as you already have a Profiles folder so name it '''Profiles2'''.
# Uninstall Firefox (''selecting to remove all user settings'') then go here: '''C:\Program Files\''' and delete the ''Mozilla Firefox'' folder.
# Go here : '''C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming''' and delete the ''Mozilla'' folder
# Go here: '''C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Local\ '''delete the ''Mozilla'' folder.
# Open another browser (i.e.'' Internet Explorer'') and download and install ''C-Cleaner'' here: [http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard]
# Once installed run the ''''Registry cleaner'''' over and over until no problems are detected and exit the application. You may now uninstall it but it is probably one of the best free apps available as it has a better uninstaller than Windows does and controls which programs run when Windows starts without using the 'msconfig' command.
# Now download the latest version of Firefox with your other browser and install it then run the application once and close it down.
# Open the ''Profiles'' folder on your desktop and inside you will find one or more folders with a name ending in '''.default''' (i.e. ''uomifhku.default''). Right click each folder and select '''Properties''' to see which contains the highest amount of data or the bigger file size. Once you have done that open the largest folder and make sure there is nothing in there with '''... @security.compass''' written on it. If there is then delete it. Hold your ''left'' mouse button and move your mouse pointer over all of the files to highlight in blue. Put your mouse cursor on any one of the files, ''right click'' and select 'Copy' to copy them all to system memory and then close the folder.
# Go here: '''C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles''' and find the folder ending in '''.default''' then open it. Now ''right click'' anywhere on the background in the main Payne containing the files and select 'paste'. When prompted to '''Overwrite Files''' and '''Merge Folders''' always accept and proceed. Once done, close the window.
# Open the '''Profiles2''' folder on your desktop and inside you will find one or more folders with a name ending in '''.default''' (i.e. ''uomifhku.default''). Right click each folder and select '''Properties''' to see which contains the highest amount of data or the bigger file size. Once you have done that open the largest folder and make sure there is nothing in there with '''... @security.compass''' written on it. If there is then delete it.

Once done, close the window.
Start Firefox and if all is well you should be working again and it back in the state you left it last without the bug.
Many thanks, sparkyuiop

Enable your Internet browser to accept cookies and make sure that javascript is enabled problem

I am have problems logging onto adcenter.microsoft.com
As soon as I try to submit my user/pass I get the msg:
"Please enable your Internet browser to accept cookies and make sure that javascript is enabled. If you aren’t sure how to do this, refer to your browser’s Help"
I have done various tests to see if my browers does accept cookies and javascript is enabled, and all is good here.
I also have the plugin Java plugin 2 for npapi 13.6.0. (I am running firefox on mac).
I used to be able to log into the site. not anymore. Since then i must have updated firefox a few times.
I have cleared cache/cookies. I have disabled all plugins/extensions. Still can't get in.
What else can i do?
I have spoken with microsoft adcenter, and all they could tell me was make sure i have the latest java, which i have i guess.

To avoid confusion:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
