On start-up, Firefox always tries to connect to proxy even if I set the "network settings" to "no proxy".

On start-up, Firefox always tries to connect to a proxy even if I set the "network settings" to "no proxy". I have to manually go to "network settings" and set it to "no proxy" every time I start Firefox.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • In my small office ethernet network all of a sudden one of my imacs cannot be connected to. It can connect to all other computers and can access internet, but as soon as someone tries to connect to that mac, it disconnects from the network. Any ideas

    I have a network of 9 macs that connect via ethernet and a router. All of a sudden one of the macs cannot be connected to. It can connect to all others and the internet, but no one can connect to that one. I have appletalk active and file sharing on, but everytime someone tries to connect to it, it is not on the network. Additionally, the personal file sharing keeps turning off even though I have it locked. Any ideas?

    Hi orangekay
    not sure where you got the idea that I have
    bizarre encrypted filesystem plugins and scripts you have manipulating them all the time
    because I do not have any such running, just normal Applescripts that do tasks that could be done by hand.

  • Firefox 18 fails to connect to any site beond Google. Same Network settings in Firefox 17 work.

    After upgrading Firefox 17.x to version 18.0.1, the ONLY site that will connect and can run is Google.
    Attempts to connect to any other DNS results in a tab displaying the label 'Connecting', with an hourglass circle. After rolling-back to Firefox 17.0esr, all connections succeed using the same proxy settings.

  • Iphone 4 always tries to connect to 3g even when there is no 3g.

    ..... So simply it never ever connects to GPRS or EDGE which is an absolute pain because I work and live in a place with limited 3G. Can anyone recommend a solution?

    If the option to disable 3G is not available on your phone, that's because your carrier has decided to remove it. Probably because they are in the process of completely shutting down their EDGE network (AT&T's is scheduled to be almost completely gone by the end of 2014).
    Contact your carrier.

  • Macbook is always trying to connect to an other one which is not switched on

    Hello,
    I have a redundant problem :
    My Mac Book is always trying to connect to an other one which is not  switched on.
    I used Drive mounter, but I deleted the device that my Mac has tryed to connect with.
    Have you a solution to stop this behavior
    Thanks

    This sounds like it may be a question for the developers of Drive Mounter, as it sounds like that may still be trying to connect to that remote volume.
    You could rule out other things before contacting them by checking your login items in System Preferences -> Users & Groups. Make sure that volume is not in that list. Also, check any other apps or services that may be automatically making use of that volume, such as Time Machine.

  • How to prevert 2 computers from always trying to connect via bluetooth, how to prevert 2 computers from always trying to connect via bluetooth

    I just bought my wife a iMac. Now her iMac and my Macbook Air are always trying to connect via bluethooth. I use a bluetooth mouse and she has the bluethooth keyboard and trackpad, so turning bluetooth off is not the best answer.
    Thanks

    What's the problem?  In theory a BT device can only pair with one machine at a time.

  • Why does apple tv always connect to itunes even when I own the movie and it is on my computer?

    So I have my entire itunes library on a HD that I bring with my laptop back and forth. My problem is not at my house where I have an internet connection, but it is at my cabin in the woods where I do not have an internet connection.  Why is my apple tv always trying to connect to the itunes store whenever the movie I am trying to play is on my computer and on the network?  I have an airport express setup creating my network, but like I said I do not have an internet connection.  I am just using the AX to give me a wifi network.  It is constantly looking for the itunes store.  Is there a way to bypass this, or is this a Apple security feature?  Thanks

    I understand that point. They are mostly bought from iTunes. But, I can watch on my laptop, iPad, iPhone on an airplane or wherever without an Internet connection. So why the hang up on my apple tv, should it not just be an extension of my laptop?

    Thanks so much for more direction. 
    I realized that I bought this iPod T4 about a year ago, so decided to check the date and it is still under the 1 year ltd. warranty until 21 Dec.  I contacted Apple via Chat and was informed that the problem may lie in the version of iTunes I was running 10.7.  Today Apple released v. 11 of iTunes which I was instructed to download.  It's TOTALLY different from iTunes 10.7 - drastically different in fact. 
    The Apple Chat Rep set up a phone call appointment forl 8:00 pm ET tonight where another Rep will call me to make sure the restore was accomplished OK.  With v. 11 of iTunes I can't even find the restore option!!!  The phone Rep will have to help me navigate v. 11 of iTunes.  It doesn't seem intuitive at all.  Maybe it's just me?!?!
    Thank you for sending this new link for firmware.  It's not clear to me right now whether I'll need it or not.  The phone Rep will probably somehow be able to resolve the problem.  If not, they'll probably send me to the nearest Apple store if the problem is hardware, as it would be covered under the warranty.  I will give another update as to what transpires as a result of the phone call with the Apple Rep.
    Again, thank you so much for helping me.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
