On my other compuyer (Windows Vista) firefox is unable to connect. This is all of a sudden but all day.

When clicking on my firefox icon on my wifes Windows Vista computer, I get an "Unable to connect" error. More specifically
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at en-us.start3.mozilla.com". The network is working because internet explorer works fine. This just started this morning and continues all day.

Thank you for your help and it was a big help. I removed Norton software firewall, and firefox began to work. I thank you for your help and suggestion.
Dennis

    Why the question marks? Can you open PDF files or not? You don't need Firefox to open PDF files.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • My Windows Vista Computer is unable to find any AirPort wireless devices

    My Windows Vista computer is unable to find any AirPort wireless devices.   I just set this up using another (different) computer and it works fine on that one...

    Per chance was the other computer that was able to "find" the AirPort base station another Win Vista device or another using another OS?

  • Windows Phone Emulator is unable to connect to the Windows Phone operating system: The phone did not respond to the connect request. Some functionality might be disabled

    We are receiving following error, while trying to deploy the application on Win Phone emulator. “Windows Phone Emulator is unable to connect to the Windows Phone operating system: The phone did not respond to the connect
    request. Some functionality might be disabled.”
    I have tried all possible ways that we found on blogs. We are still not able to solve this issue

    I have had a lot of issues with the emulator in the past.
    Check out this troubleshooting guide. It might help:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj681694(v=vs.105).aspx
    Also, I find that if I cancel my build/deploy while it is stuck on booting the OS and then wait a short while the phone OS will complete booting, and from that point I can deploy to the emulator. It's a workaround, but it works well for me.
    I need to do that on Windows 10 tech preview, which may or may not be simply an incompatibility with the beta OS.
    I'm a self-taught noob amateur. Please take this into account when responding to my posts or when taking advice from me.

  • FireFox 4 and earlier versions will not install on my Windows Vista, 64 bit computer. The file downloads and the file extracts but I never make it to the installation wizard.

    I have tried to download FireFox 4 and earlier versions from several different website, thinking the files might have gotten corrupted, and each time I download the file the exact same thing happens, the file downloads and the file gets extracted but when the extraction completes the small window dissappears and nothing else happens.
    My machine is a Windows Vista 64 bit system and I've tried downloading the file with my 32 and 64 bit Internet Explorer but nothing seems to work. Can someone help me please because I would love to be able to completely delete I.E.

    Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. Well you must have been doing it right, since all of your Flash files for IE and FF are correct.
    The SWF plugin for FF and the SWO for IE are also correct.
    You shouldn't be having any problems with Flash Player.
    What you can try is to turn off the hardware acceleration feature. Go to any video, like youtube and right click on the video and click on Settings. Display Settings is where you will UN check hardware acceleration.
    See if that helps. Let me know.
    Thanks,

  • Windows Vista, Firefox 37.0.1, Reader 10.1.13.16 ?newer?than? DC10.1.4

    The current Adobe Reader installation app seems to be for DC 10.1.4.  My Windows Vista box has Firefox 37.0.1 and Adobe Reader 10.1.13.16.  The DC variant seems to be newer (at least according to the release notes) but the installation app says my variant is newer and refuses to install the DC variant.  In addition, Firefox says that the Reader plugin is out of date.
    Question(s): which is the newest and how do I install the DC variant if it's the newest?
    --  Thanks

    And nor was 11, which came out nearly 3 years ago. Vista support ended long ago.

  • After blue screen windows vista, firefox directory saved, now need to restore bookmarks - how? OS crash complete failure, read directory from another pc.

    Hi, My pc running Vista crashed - memory dump blue screen - total failure to reboot. I retrieved all the directories I had data in and the Firefox program directory from the hard drive. I want to see if I can now retrieve the bookmarks from this directory structure so that they can be brought back into my new version of Firefox. Is there a file or directory which holds the bookmark details? There is an install file with the following details:
    Installation Details
    Install Dir: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    Locale : en-GB
    App Version: 3.0.10
    GRE Version: 1.9.0.10
    My current version of Firefox is 6.0.2
    Hope you can help I have hundreds of bookmarks which are very important to me.
    Kind Regards
    Mark

  • Windows Vista Machine Can No Longer Connect to Mac Following Upgrade

    Before: Windows Vista machine with 6 drive letters mapped to the 6 hard drives in my Mac Pro running 10.5.8.
    After: Mac Pro upgraded to 10.6. Now the Vista machine cannot connect to any of the drive letters, nor can it open the Mac Pro by browsing -- the Mac Pro shows up, but cannot be opened. A second Windows machine also cannot open any shares on the Mac Pro.
    I have checked all of the settings in Network on the Mac Pro and they look fine. Does anyone have any ideas for things to check?

    I was able to see the other Windows XP computer and begin to connect. I was then presented with a login screen. I tried using the usual user name and password - no luck. I then formatted the user name as as follows:
    user name: computer name\user name
    password: as normal
    And it worked. Specifically in my case:
    user: cwy-pln2152\administrator
    password: planning
    This is what worked for me your mileage may vary.

  • With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library.  What should I be doing differently?

    With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder from my Desktop to ITunes on the PC in order to transfer it to my IPad (as per instructions), but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library.  What else should I be doing?

    Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?

  • I get dotnetnuke an error occurred window in firefox how can i fix this?

    I am trying to load the below url and get the dotnetnuke error window. I can access this page in IE but not in firefox. I have installed the newer version of FF, I have installed the firebug and I also cleared my history.

    I've had this same problem for a while, but I now think it's a DNN problem rather than a Firefox problem. DNN works fine on my home desktop using IE and my work laptop under IE, and also my work laptop using Firefox. I only get this problem at home on my Dell desktop using Firefox.
    I believe this says that we can eliminate it being a cookie problem. IE & Firefox share the cookies, right?
    I also found a number of posts on the DotNetNuke site describing similar problems, but they're all regarding implementing DNN, rather than using it.
    In my case, I'm simply trying to access a parish website: www.holyspiritstl.org which is implemented using DotNetNuke.
    Oh, by the way, one more clue: Firefox on my home computer did work fine for this site for a while. I started getting the error message immediately after using my edit privileges.

  • Firefox is "unable to connect" to any site, while other broswers can

    I've tried clearing my cookies and history, disabling addons/extensions and the firewall, changing/disabling proxy settings, and read several of the articles, but nothing seems to work. I was out of town for 2 days and everything was working fine when I left. Got back today and just kept getting "unable to connect" message for any website I tried to open. I tried to download chrome and opera, but the download had an error and just didn't work (chrome) and just stayed at 0% with nothing happening (opera). i'm able to get emails and get on websites via internet explorer.

    Hello vtand06, did you also try a ''Clean reinstall'' ? This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->
    Please report back to say if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • HT5622 How can I authorize a new computer (with windows 8) without deauthorizing my other computers (windows 7) . Under manage your account the only choice given is to deauthorize all computers already authorized

    I just bought a new computer with windows 8. I have 2 other computers (windows 7) authorized for itunes. When I go to manage your account the only choice I am give is to deauthorize all computers. There is no place from which to authorize this new computer or to deauthorize the 1 computer that is dead rather than both. Suggestions appreciated

    To authorize the Windows 8 computer, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.
    It isn't possible to individually deauthorize a computer which is dead or which you don't have either physical or network access to.
