On updating Firefox cannot connect as not connected to internet

Unable to connect
Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the Web.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your mobile device's data or Wi-Fi connection.
How do I get it to connect without deleting and reinstalling.

Hi Paul.gifford,
There are a couple of troubleshooting tricks that you can try in order to resolve this issue.
#Open a new tab and swipe over to the history panel
#Long tap on the entry and remove the cannot connect entry
#Close Firefox from the app manager
# Toggle the connection on the mobile device if you are on wifi
# Open Firefox and open a new tab to the website you were trying to visit.

  • Firefox cannot connect to internet, although internet explorer will, this problem just starter today, any ideas of what I should dpo

    Everytime I try to use firefox I get a message saying Firefox cannot connect to the internet. It was working fine yesterday. I can connect without any problems using Internet Explorer, so I know it is not my internet connection?

    Thanks, for responding.
    I did a hard reset of the linksys router. I changed the name of the wireless network. I did this using the PC that is wired to the router. The PC continues to work just fine.
    The G4 continues to be able to log-in in the wireless network, but there is no internet connection with the G4. Under Network Status, the G4 says "Airport is connected to the network. Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet" Is this something I should try to fix?
    Thanks!

  • Firefox cannot connect to Internet.

    Firefox 5.0 cannot connect to the Internet after changing the connection from my corporate connection to any other connection. Changing from any other connection to the corporate gives the same problem with the Firefox. IE 7 can connect to the Internet after the changing. Closing and restarting the Firefox allows to connect, but the closing loses all the open pages in the tabs.
    The network setting is to use the system proxy settings.
    How to resolve the problem? How to make Firefox not to lose connection, as IE7 does not lose?

    The default Firefox home page is on your own machine, so sound like it is your Firewall.

  • Firefox cannot connect to internet yet other programs can!

    Whenever I load Firefox 3.6.7 It doesn't connect to the internet. It constantly says "Unable to connect" however, other browsers such as Opera, I.E, Chrome, these work, also same for Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 too.
    What is the problem?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Few hours ago ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4

  • I have an iPad3, recently updated the ios to 6.0.1. Since the update I cannot connect to wi-fi at my house. I am able to connect at work, but not at home. I have changed routers 3 times, have reset, uninstalled and re-installed, and everything I can think

    I have an iPad2 and recently updated the ios. Since the update, I cannot connect to wi-fi through my router. I can still connect at work, but at home it will just not work. I have tried everything I can think of. I have reset, uninstalled, re-installed, and changed routers. 3 times. I cannot get it to work. Does this have something to do with the update? I have even reset the network settings, and restored the ipad itself to factory default settings. Can anyone help me?

    Try and "Forget This Network"
    Settings>Wi-Fi>tap little arrow on right of network.

  • Updated AirPort via Software Update-- cannot connect to internet now.

    Hello, my father has been using his Macbook for a few months now and I noticed there were updates he hadn't installed, one updating Airport to 1.2.2. After the update and an intel Firmware update we cannot connect to the internet! Airport tells me that we're connected to the network, however both Firefox and Safari cannot navigate to webpages, nor can iTunes connect to the iTunes music store. Note: we are using a Linksys WRT160N router and we did have the Macbook working flawlessly prior to the update.

    Hi
    Try these two suggestions:
    First, go to your Utilities folder>Keychain Access.app. Open the application. In the Keychains menu>Keychain First Aid. Select "repair". If errors appear, rerun until you get a clean pass.
    Close the app., then restart computer/Safari and try the connection.
    If no go, then reapply the 10.4.10 combined update. Do not use the computer while the installer is running. When complete, "repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. Sometimes reapplying the combo update corrects file problems in OS X.
    If that doesn't work, either the problem is specific to the cable box, or you may need to reinstall OS X.

  • Airport problem-cannot connect to internet since update

    I like many folks here is new to a Mac. I have a iMac intel duel processor. i apparently did this update to 10/4/8 10/2/06. Since then airport does not work and I cannot connect to internet at all. I have talked to Apple customer service but so far no help there. They want me to reinstall disc that came with computer. I also have a new MacBook that has update also. I can set it beside the iMac in my office and it works great. We have a wirelss system in our home and a PC and the MacBook still connect with no problem. Settings on iMac and MacBook look identical to what I can tell. Nothing I try to connect works, rebooting, change some setting. Can anyone offer easy to follow suggestions to a new Mac user. Thanks

    Since it's only the iMac that's having the issue connecting using WPA, we don't need to troubleshoot the router or the other computers.
    I suggest trying the following on the iMac before attempting to reload the previous version of the OS.
    If you use "Preferred Networks," instead of "Automatic" for your "By default, join" setting Location, try the following:
    System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort > AirPort tab
    - Delete all preferred networks with encryption
    - Add them again after manually connecting
    (Note: It will be faster if you turn on "Automatically add new networks to preferred networks list" under "Options" of the AirPort network connection.)
    If this doesn't work, something might have gone wrong with the update to 10.4.8. I would suggest that you follow the Apple Tech's recommendation and reinstall the previous OS using the installation disk that came with your iMac.

  • I cannot update ios as it says itunes cannot connect to internet, but it is

    Hi everybody, please help me. I've been trying to update my ipad for ages. When i click update it says itunes cannot connect to internet, but it is and it works for iphone and ipod, it's just the ipad. tried with security settings as well, but it doesn't work. did the connectivity test and it says itunes cannot connect to internet...it is connected

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Have disabled IE on windows pc and am using Firefox as browser. iTunes now says cannot connect to internet even though Firefox working: suggestions

    Have disabled IE on windows pc and am using Firefox as browser. iTunes now says cannot connect to internet even though Firefox working: suggestions?

    There is a plugin for Firefox - see here
    http://latestversionplugin.com/current-version-plugin-itunes-application-detecto r.html
    It should be installed automatically if you install iTunes, but I guess when you installed iTunes you didn't have Firefox.  Just reinstall iTunes and it should work OK  (your iTunes library will not be affected)

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
