Neither Firefox or other web browser will access the net UNLESS I use the restore feature. The next day the problem occurs again and again I have to use the restore feature? It works on my laptop so not ISP problem do I have a trojan or something?

It seems that no browser will work. Firefox is my preferred browser but IE wont work either unless I use the restore function and then they work fine. However if I close my computer down for any reason they wont work and again I have to use the restore function. My email program works just fine (I use Agent) my ISP says there is no problem with my connection. My Firefox on my laptop works just fine and it uses the same connection as my desktop where the problem is.

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

    Does it matter whether you use www? Will the sign-in link open: https://signup.netflix.com/#do-login
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server. Any difference? If not...
    2. Clear Firefox's Cache Completely
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    3. If needed, remove the site's cookies in this dialog
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Java does not work on my Win 7 IBM-compatible PC using Firefox as my web browser

    A typical example of a website I would like to access & view is "www'cut-the-knot.org", a relatively mathematics-related website with a lot a very nice math content, where (roughly estimating) 70-90% of all web pages on the web site use Java applets to communicate that math content.
    I CANNOT view the Java applets (am restricted/prevented from doing so) --- on CTK or ANY other website!.
    I could go into all the details but, essentially, I have tried just about everything I can think of (or have found to do/try in discussions on the Internet by googling the problem) & nothing seems to have had any positive affect ... I can still not view ANY Java applets on ANY website! :-(
    I USED to be able to view Java content on the PC I was working on, although, a few months ago, I migrated from Win XP to Win 7 when MS stopped supported Win XP. I don't know when things changed but, "while I wasn't looking" (&/or paying attention) something DID change. :-(
    I'm using an IBM-compatble PC (not a Mac) with Windows 7 & Firefox as my web-browser.
    I'm just a private individual ... just a "little guy" in my home ... little personal technical knowledge, no big biz connections, no $ to hire expensive (or inexpensive) experts to come in & assess & fix the problem. I would even just like to know if there is some kind of future expected date when something MIGHT get improved, barring an action "solution" of the problem.
    From what I read on the Internet, some problem(s) relating to this issue has/have been extant for at least two years, dating back to at least 2012, if not further? I assume the problem would have been fixed long ago if it were easy to fix so, I'm not trying to be overly critical ... just asking for some kind of status report --- help/communication/knowledge/expertise/solution/etc ... & any information would be appreciated. Knowing WHAT the problem is is a high priority to me, certainly as well as understanding HOW TO FIX the problem, & WHEN that fix will occur.
    Java is a seemingly wonderful technology but, if there are such severe security risks that require it be enabled so that no one (I'll assume I'm not the only one unable to view Java applets) can use it, it doesn't have much value to visitors to websites that employ Java to deliver a majority of their content. Part of the problem, obviously, is that (like CTK) MANY websites ALREADY use/employ Java --- & therefore, end-users have almost no access to the content in/on those websites.
    Thanx in advance ...

    i use firefox as my internet browser. when i go to itunes to download music it says i am not connected to the internet when actualy i am. what am i doing wrong?

    Firefox is a web browser not a homepage.
    It sounds like you you have the old www.google.com/firefox/ start page that used to be the default homepage in Firefox before Firefox 4.0 sometime. It is not being maintained by Google anymore so either ignore the message or while in Firefox go to Tools->Options->General->Homepage section and change your homepage.

  • E71 web browser will search for WLAN connection in...

    The E71 web browser will search for and present a list of WLANs whilst the phone is in offline mode without asking first. When you then select a WLAN from the list, it does ask if you wish to create a WLAN connection in offline mode. Surely it should ask before searching?

    With new FW i can't set, that browser ask me.
    Before new SW , browser alwasy give me an option to choose wlan connection..
    I this a bug in new FW ?

    I previously uploaded images onto my desktop to work on in Lightroom 5.2. I worked on a few of the images days ago and just now getting back to them. My problem is I can only access the images I previously worked on and all the rest it says images not available but all the images are still right on my desktop.

    ... and all the rest it says images not available
    Normally this happens because you moved, renamed or deleted these photos (or the folders that contain them) outside of Lightroom. This is how to fix the problem: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

    Uninstall the Inbox Toolbar, following steps here:

    Then retry opening Firefox.
    You can also try opening Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] (use Continue in Safe Mode first).
    If that works, reopen Firefox Safe Mode, but use the dialog option to '''Restore default search engines''' as shown at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode#Safe_Mode_window and press the '''Make changes and restart''' button.

  • Can I exchange for a new laptop? Since December it has been having hardware issues and it has already needed to get parts changed twice already. My laptop is not working properly again. I feel like I have unfortunately gotten a lemon laptop.

    Apple will repair or replace at its discretions, parts found to be defective in materials or workmanship.
    You will have to discuss whether your history warrants a complete replacement with the folks at the Genius Bar.
    I do not speak for Apple, but it sounds to me like you have been unlucky, but not unlucky enough (or have spent so much time with your MacBook in the shop) to warrant a complete replacement.
    You have not provided any details of what the faults were or what was replaced. If they replaced the motherboard, you already got a new computer -- because everything except the drive and the display is on that board.

  • Since upgrading Firefox, it no longer accepts URLs in the URL bar - it works if I have a bookmark, a link or from History, but not if I enter or paste a URL.

    Firefox 33.0.2 on Windows 8.1 64 bit. Since upgrading Firefox, it no longer accepts URLs in the URL bar - it works if I have a bookmark, a link or from History, but not if I enter or paste a URL and hit <enter>, in which case nothing happens at all.
    I have found that issue reported for Ubuntu (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1011935?esab=a&as=aaq) but not for Windows. The solution there to change the keyboard is not feasible since it's a laptop with a built-in keyboard.
    I did not have this issue with FF 28 (I finally upgraded because I was getting BSODs) and I don't have this issue with any other Browser on same platform.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hi, i'm a Windows 7 user of HP Pavilion dm4.
    It has been weeks since iTunes works properly on my computer. I'm here to seek help from professionals or people who had encountered it before. Whenever I double-click on iTunes, it prompt me a message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." But another thing is, i'm the only adminstrator on this laptop. If I don't have permission, who has? Sigh.
    I had tried uninstalling and installing iTunes from official website many times but to no avail.

    Hi,
    Also, please make sure your current user is a administrator account and have permission to open the file.
    Right-click the file or folder, and then click Properties.
    Click the Security tab.
    Under Group or User names, click your name to see the permissions you have.
    Have you installed 3rd software in you computer? please turn off them temporarily to check if this issue still occurs.
    Here is an article you can refer to.

  • Which browser will copy the URL of a graphic?

    I often need to copy the address of a graphic on one of my web pages so that I can post that graphIc is a forum. I can't seem to find a way to do this in Safari on my iPad 2. Atomic web browser will show me the address of a graphic if I tap and hold on the graphic but again won't copy the address so I can paste it into another location.
    Any one know if any of the alternate web browsers in the app store will let me copy and paste a URL of a graphic?

    Thanks for the suggestion as I didn't know that Would even work. After reading your post here's what I did.
    I went to my website and tapped and held on a photo as you suggest. The choice for Copy came up and I selected that.
    I then tried to paste into this forum and another form I visit regularly. But nothing would appear when I selected paste. So I went back to my website and pasted into the address bar as you did and voila the URL for the photo appeared. So then I copied that from the address bar and was able to paste the image address into this forum and the other I tried.
    Seems like I should be able to copy and then paste directly without the extra step, i.e. copy-paste-copy-paste.
