Safari and firefox can't open pages

My 15" Macbook Pro will not open certain pages using either Safari or Firefox. For
example, they won't let me log in to this discussion, and I can't check out when trying to make a purchase at Amazon. I have trashed prefs, thrown out cookies, reset Safari 4.0.4, repaired hard drive and permissions , done everything I know how to do short of erase and reinstall 10.6.2. I don't have the problem using this Macbook. Can somebody explain this and suggest a solution. I will buy a backup hd if a reinstall is the only way out. Rudd.

System Preferences>Network. Put the following into the DNS Servers box and hit Apply:
208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Also make sure you have the latest Adobe Flash Player.

Use the uninstaller to remove the older version:

Safari and Firefox won't open served ASP pages - HELP!

Both Safari and Firefox will not open *.asp web pages automatically. I mean, I know ASP is a Microsoft product, but REALLY. This is ridiculous! ASP is very common on the web. Mac should automatically handle these pages just like any other HTML type of page. But until Apple comes to its senses to make life a little easier for those of us who chose to buy their product and use it in the real world, can somebody please tell me how to configure my Mac to open ASPs automatically? Right now both Safari and Firefox want to download the pages instead of just opening them. And then it asks me what application I want to use to open it. Duh! Obviously I want to open it in Firefox or Safari so I can view the darn thing! Please - I don't need any explanation of what ASP is. I know what it is. Please just tell me how to get my Mac to display the served pages. Thank you!!!!

This is not a standard problem with Safari/Firefox on the Mac that I can see. For example, when I go to http://www.boursedata.com.au/solutions/default.asp it loads the page normally (note: I have a historical association to that company... I have used it because I know it uses asp!).
What does it do for you?

Hi Hawaiian_Starman,
Thank you for the suggestion.
I ran the first aid in the Keychain both for verification and for repair and both immediately returned with "no problems found".
As for the certificate, according the web administrator nothing had changed for the certificates.
even on the windows laptop I also get the certificate as being expired, but by simply accepting that I still have access.
I had a pop up every time that alerted me to the certificate issue, but whether I "continued" or not that still did not matter.
Yesterday, in an effort to find a solution, I went into the "details" and entered to trust this website.
Now that certificate issue does not pop up anymore. But I do not know how to reverse that either.
I have the feeling indeed it has something to do with a certificate, but how is the question.

Safari and Firefox do not open search engines

I have an IMac 8.1, with OS 10.5.8. Recently, our internet browser programs (safari and firefox) will not open any search engine (google, bing or yahoo). However, I am able to navigate to web-sites that I manually type in (e.g., www.cnn.com). Does anyone know what the cause, and fix, to this issue? Also, this behavior did coincide with a recent update to our Intego Antivirus software, but I think this is unrelated.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Maybe not. Most, if not almost all, anti-virus software interferes with OS X and is not required.
Try installing Glims:
If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
http://www.machangout.com/
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! Such as enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
(It adds items to Safari Preferences).
Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.

Safari (and Firefox) hang on Flash-Pages for main-account

Since Easter (when I took the last batch of upgrades) Safari and Firefox hang.
I narrowed the test down to the following web-page:
http://www.sunfleet.com
* The page does not load completely - after a little while I get this spinning ball and need to kill the hanging Safari-process.
* The same web-page works flawless on a second account.
This is what i tried so far after reading the communities:
* Checked the safari-preferences, switched off auto-fill, security settings allow loading of plug-ins.
* Executed Onyx 2.1.4 - check disk, check and repair rights, run scripts
* deinstalled Flash and reinstalled it (10.0.45.2) according to the instructions on the Adobe Support Page
* manually removed the Flash Player folders in:
Home/Library/Preferences/Macromedia
Home/Library/Caches
The error still prevails.
It would be great if someone could instruct me what to do next.
I have a backup via time-machine, but I really don't know what to restore.

Hi Carolyn!
In the mean-while I removed all the Internet Plugins that were registered under the main user:
real-player and move-media-player are now gone.
Still no change. I made a new trace below - I wonder, what is different on the main account compared to the other user. Could it be fonts ?
Best regards
Stephan

Safari (and Firefox) freezing on all pages with embedded video

Hi, is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any pages with video, with the exception of YouTube, have been freezing on both Safari and Firefox (Hulu, etc.). They don't load and I have to force quit the applications (and, of course, not watch video). Is anyone else having this problem? I've repaired permissions, emptied the cache, delete the plist file, and it's still happening.
Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions? All help appreciated. M

I was having a problem with Safari and Firefox and Camino quitting when I tried to view an online video, such as full length episodes on the TV network websites. I upgraded Adobe Flash to the latest version (version 9.0.124.0) and then repaired permissions and this took care of the problem. (Before I posted this I double checked the fix by going to the CBS and NBC web sites and watching 5 minutes of CSI:NY and Chuck and both played fine with nary a hiccup.)

Safari and Firefox will not open certain web pages

I just bought a MacBook yesterday and since then have not been able to open certain websites using firefox or safari. I have been trying to access www.recolorado.com and www.people.com and keep getting the error that the page timed out because server is not responding. I called apple support yesterday and was told to reinstall the operating system which did not help. My husband has a PC that is connected to the same internet connection and he can open these sites with no problem. I have tried resetting safari, but still can't get to these sites. Does anyone have any suggestions??

I was having the same problem and it was driving me INSANE because every solution I found on the internet said "just use Firefox!" (my default browser). It doesn't matter whether it's Firefox, Safari, Netscape, Opera, whatever, the computer was NOT accessing these sites. It seemed to coincide with a recent OS update, but maybe that's just my imagination.
Then my sister-in-law came over with her totally identical MacBook and complained of having the exact same problem accessing the same sites!
On top of this, I had no problem accessing these on my iMac in Chicago last week (running the same OS and software), so I concluded it had to be our router.
In my case, it was solved by simply rebooting the router. Have you tried this? It seems so simple, but now I can access every site that I was having trouble with. You might have to reconfigure something on your router, I don't know much about this. But my general conclusion is that something was wrong with the way the MacBook and router were communicating. Sorry I can't be more specific!

Safari AND Firefox will not open Flickr or Yahoo

Hi
I'm running MAC OS X 10.7.5, Safari version 6.1.3 and Firefox 29.0.1.
Both Flickr and any related Yahoo page will NOT open on either browser.
WHen I try to open Flickr, Firefox comes up with the error message 'Unable to connect. Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.flickr.com'
Safari comes up with a grey screen and the error message 'Safari can't connect to the server. Safari can't open the page https://www.flickr.com because Safari can't connect to the server www.flickr.com'.
When I try Yahoo the Yahoo home page loads but everything is in blue text and a very basic version. If I click on any of the links the same error messages as above show up.
This has been happening for about 6 months. I was originally only using Safari, but installed Firefox only this evening in an attempt to try and solve the problem, but it has not helped. I get the same problem on both browsers. Safari worked fine before. I cannot remember anything happening or any change of setting that may have set this off. I have trawled every forum imaginable and followed all the advice I can find, to no avail. I have tried:
Clearing out caches. Regularly.
Resetting Safari
Changing the DNS settings
Looking into the Ipv6 settings (there is no option to turn it 'off'. Changing it to 'link local' only turned the WiFi off
Turning the Firewall off.
Turning the Firewall back on.
I have not tried changing any router settings as I'm not sure how. But I can open Yahoo and Flickr no problem using my HTC phone so it can't be a router problem? I am tearing my hair out here! I read somewhere that Yahoo and Flickr are very closely linked, so the problem must be related to a setting with these sites?
Can anyone out there help? Please!!

Marwood71,
yes, Yahoo! bought Flickr back in 2005, so they are closely linked.
If you’re trying to use Flickr’s secure HTTP site, then try connecting to https://secure.flickr.com/ instead.

Safari 5.1 'can't open page' etc

I usually have a lot of windows with a lot of tabs re-open each time I launch safari.
Many of the tabs report that the page can't be opened, either because the 'server isn't responding' or because 'Safari couldn't find the server'
In all cases, a refresh bring the page up.
It looks as though Safari has a search component that can't keep up with a list component.
Or like there's a guy in a white coat yelling 'get me A to M immediately' and a guy in blue overalls, wiping crumbs from his lap, going ' keep your shirt on!'
Any solution?
pete

Hi H_Starman,
thanks for your reply but unfortunately that wasn't the problem.
I do already have "Bookmarks" selected in both "New windows open with ..." and "New tabs open with ..." but below that, the "Homepage:" box, I used to have "Bookmarks:" typed in there which linked the Home button on the Toolbar (or if I typed Shift-CMD-H) to my bookmarks directly. Typying in "bookmarks:" now in this box in 5.1 doesn't work (a blank page now appears) so I'm looking for the correct "link" to insert there. Any ideas?
Thanks again
David

Safari and Firefox won't open

I use Windows XP via Bootcamp on my iMac. I decided to do a disc defragment on the Windows hard drive because I thought it might boost the speed/efficiency. Since doing that, neither of my browsers (Safari & Firefox) will work in the Mac OS (Tiger). However, Explorer still works in Windows XP. The browsers in Tiger seem like they're opening, I get an icon in the dock with a triangle below, but the browser window will not load. I've tried repairing disc permissions. That didn't solve the problem. I think I may have to reinstall the OS, but that means having to purchase either Tiger or Leopard since the new iMacs don't come with the OS disc.
Advice would be appreciated.

When you create a NEW admin user account, you are not changing anything about your current user account. Mac OS X is Unix-based, so it is a multi-user system. You can create as many user accounts as you want (within reason). This is useful if more than one person uses the same Mac; each user can have his or her own settings and a private user folder to store personal files. They just log into their account when they are using the Mac.
Having a "test user" account is also a good way to trouble-shoot because that user will have fresh set of preference setting files. If the problem is in the normally used account, the overall system is probably OK.
To create a new account, in System Preferences Accounts pane, click on the lock icon (if it is locked ) and authenticate. Then click on the plus sign below the sidebar.
My computer is an Intel G5 iMac, not a Power PC.
FYI - A G5 is PowerPC. I know what you are saying, but an Intel Mac is by definition not a "G5."
I have purchased 2 G5 iMacs within the last 2 years. Neither has come with an installation disc.
If it's new or a refurb from the Apple Store, it better have come with a Mac OS X installation disc inside the box. If it's used, then it's up to the previous owner to include the disc.

Firefox Can't Open Page Tab in 4Shared Website though Internet Explorer Can

I'm using Windows 7 on a Gateway FX6840 computer, and using Firefox3.6.12 I'm trying to download some files from a friend using a website called 4shared.com which I've used before on my previous computer. There are several hundred files on this site, so there are two pages to download from. I can't click on the page 2 tab to get to page 2, but using Internet Explorer I can. There must be some setting on Firefox that I can click on which will enable me to click on the page 2 tab since I can do it on IE as well as my old computer running Firefox 3.6.10. Unfortunately I can't give you the exact site I'm using since it is my friend's password protected account. What settings do you think I need?

Hello guys.
I also had this problem, I couldn't open 4shared links with firefox while it was ok with other browsers.
The problem is with the cookies, it's very simple to solve:
Try to open www.4shared.com (you probably will fail);

Does anyone know why safari and firefox won't load certain pages

Hi
I can't get safari and firefox to load certain pages. For me it's a website programme that i'm using. I can get into the programme but then certain pages won't load. This suddenly happened about 3 weeks ago with Safari. I then loaded Firefox and it worked fine for a few days and now i'm having the same problem and it's the same pages that won't open. I also have trouble getting other sites to load completely, such as this site. It's so frustrating as i can't finish building my website and my laptop is only new!
Help someone, if you can

Hi again and thanks for replying
I can go into their website, cloudaccess and use that properly. I just can't use my own website properly. When i say website, my site isn't yet built. The site i'm trying to access is the backend of joomla. I can't load it and use some of it but not all of it.
I can access the site through my old laptop (and use it fully) which is a windows one but i can't access it via this one. I thought it was a cloudaccess problem but seeing as it's only my mac i can't access it through, i'm presuming it's my computer. I also tried it through firefox and explorer on my windows laptop and it was fine. It was ok on this laptop until a few weeks ago when it suddenly wouldn't load properly

I have stopped too many scripts in Firefox and I can't open any websites in Firefox anymore. I just get blank pages. What do I do now?

3 websites gave me this message:- "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete." I chose to stop the script each time. However I have stopped too many scripts in Firefox and I can't open any website in Firefox anymore. I just get blank pages. What do I do now?

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
#Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
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.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
