Safari no longer connects to any website other than FaceBook

2009 iMac: After loading updates for Safari (7.0.4), OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), and iTunes (11.2.2), Safari will no longer connect to any website other than FaceBook. Chrome fares no better.
Thanks for your help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Hi there andytan83,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Firefox will not connect to any website but other browsers can

    I installed firefox on my new advent laptop running windows 7 but it will not connect to any websites. I can connect using chrome or ie no problem but i always preferred firefox as a browser, i have tried changing settings and turning off my firewall but still having no luck

    Okay, here is my answer to this problem. At least it fixed my problem and firefox now works fine.
    Prior to this problem I was running zonealarm (free firewall) everything worked fine until I removed zonealarm free and installed Comodo free firewall. That is when the trouble started. firefox failed and IE kept working. I tried everything posted here nothing worked for me.
    I resorted to "REGEDIT" and removed everything in my registry that regedit would allow that had the name of "zonealarm" on it. Didn't even have to reboot my system, firefox worked first thing. Everything else is fine also.
    [note: this is not a slam against Lavasoft's ZoneAlarm firewall. It is just that UNINSTALL programs do not always do a thorough job of removing parts of programs in your systems and registry cleaner programs do not pick them up either.]
    USE CARE, "REGEDIT" IS A POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS TOOL TO USE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NOT A SOMEWHAT ADVANCED USER. USE CARE WITH "REGEDIT!"
    Good luck.

  • Firefox cannot connect to any websites, although other browsers have no trouble doing so..

    I had a problem with a Seagate drive and they connectd remotely to my computer. Hundreds of Windows showed up as part of making the conection and FireFox crashed.
    I have since:
    * Uninstalled Firefox
    * Downloaded a new copy (it fwould not work)
    * Followed all advice I could find on the Mozilla support site including clearing all history
    Still Firefox will not connect to any website. Here is the error message I get:
    Unable to connect:
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at nytimes.com.
    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 computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    Firefox 6 won't settle down as the next release Firefox 7 is already planned to be released later this month.
    You shouldn't be using Firefox 5 because it doesn't have the patch to disable the DigiNotar certificates that was the reason for Firefox 6.0.2.<br />
    Using unsupported Firefox versions is at your own risk and makes you vulnerable to attacks.

  • Any program other than safari won't detect internet

    any program other than safari won't detect internet eg. itunes, skype etc. I can't even system update.
    Safari has no problems and I can use the internet fine.
    Someone told me to check proxy settings and make sure "Use Passive FTP Mode" was ticked which it is...
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I urgently need to fix this and I can't get an appointment to see anyone until next week.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Kaan for your reply,
    Yes, Network does indicate that Airport is connected to the internet. Internet Explorer (OS X) connects instantly over the same network. Restarting Safari doesn't work. Waiting a few minutes doesn't work. Choosing a different web site to access doesn't work. Safari (1.3.1) has worked beautifully for months over this same network.
    Thanks again and Happy New Year.

  • Firefox would open on Vista but would not connect with any website. I had to download Firefox again using IE in order for it to function. What's going on?

    Using Firefox 6.0. No connectivity with any website yesterday.
    The download was 5.0.1; which is now working and retains all features of the previous version including

    You do not have the properties in the Bookmarks Manager (Library), but you should have it if you right-click a bookmark the Bookmarks Toolbar or in the bookmarks sidebar.
    On Mac you probably do not have it if you right-click an item in the Bookmarks menu (this menu is under control of the Mac OS), but I assume that this should work if you click the "Show your bookmarks" button on the Navigation Toolbar that is next to the star to bookmark the current tab and right-click an item in the bookmarks list that opens.

  • An automated update has rendered my laptop Firefox browser unable to connect to any websites, how do I fix this issue?

    When the update for my browser took place, on 5/5/14 @ approximately 12:15 am, it rendered the browser unable to connect to any websites. It does work in safe mode, but not in regular mode. I am on an hp pavilion dv7, running windows 7. I need to resolve this issue ASAP. Or I will have to switch browsers, which I don't want to do, as I have used Firefox for many years. Can I get some assistance to rectify the problem?

    Can you start by giving us the troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having problems. This is an essential step in troubleshooting.<br>
    *Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the sub-menu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    *At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
    *Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

  • Upon opening Firefox, all tabs start connecting without any websites, the proccessing grey circle on each tab periodically turns green and back to grey.

    When I start firefox the normal page doesn't open and instead the tabs start connecting and connecting without any website and the grey circle that each tab has turns green and then grey and the process repeats itself. And If I try to type an address I can't because upon pressing 'w', it tries to connect to what I don't know.

    hello, it sounds like a theme or extension might be interfering here. please try launching firefox in safe mode once and see if the issue is occurring there too. in case it's working correctly, please go to firefox > addons > extensions and disable/remove any extension that look suspicious/you didn't install intentionally or that might interfere with the tab loading behaviour.
