Safari or Firefox won't load on home network

Hello,
My Macbook has been a good computer for a while but 2 days ago the Safari won't open at all. I go to open it and the Safari gives me the spinning ball thing and won't respond. Tried downloading Firefox and still wont work. the thing is though firefox will work on my school's network but safari still won't work there. the network connection is fine and it works for our old windows computer and iMac but not my laptop. my school has a Proxy server but if i remove the address (which i have) the browser normally works fine. im sure its the browser and not the computer itself because i can still connect and use the iTunes store fine.
PLEASE HELP ME AND SOON!!!!!

works now and dont know why

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

Safari and Firefox Won't Load Certain Websites

Starting just today, Safari nor Firefox will go to my university's website. www.weber.edu. I've tried everything I can think of. I reset both browers. Restarted the computer. I thought maybe it was my router/network, but my windows laptop had no problems loading the website. I have an '07 iMac with the latest version of snow leopard, Safari, and Firefox. This just happened out of the blue. It worked just fine yesterday.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.

Safari and Firefox won't load images on wireless network

I have been struggling with a problem for weeks. When using my MBP on my wireless internet some web pages won't load at all "server is not responding". On other sites images won't load.
I have Cox as my ISP and my PC desktop has no issues.
Running XP on parallels also has the same issue.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

OK, maybe we have a cache or other problem...
Might give a try with Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Firefox won't load check images from my online bank.

Firefox won't load check images from my online bank. It had been doing so with no problems, but stopped 2 days ago. I can get into my account and navigate with no problems. But when I click to see the image of a check, I get a blank page.
I am using Firefox 3.6, but I have the same problem on my laptop with Firefox 4
It works fine with Safari and Internet Explorer.

If you can't open them in Firefox anymore (you seem to have a plugin: View PDF documents within your web browser) then download the documents to the desktop and open them with a program that can open PDF files.
See also to be sure that that plugin is still selected:

Do you otherwise have problems with PDF files?

Firefox won't load google image search results

Firefox won't load google search results. It will load the page of results with the thumbnails etc. but if you click any of them, just a loading spinning icon appears on the tab and it never loads.
I have tried:
Both logged in and out of google account,
All other areas of google work with no problems (news, shopping etc.),
Site working perfectly in Internet Explorer,
Running firefox in safemode,
Manually disabling all plugins and addons,
Clearing the cache and cookies,
Opening results in new tab just results in white page with web address but it never loads,
Restarting both my PC and router.
It's not been working for at least the past 6 hours. Last time I used it was about a week ago and it was working fine then. I've not noticed any problems on any other sites this week that I can recall.

Updating firefox to version 17.0 appears to have solved this.

Safari and Firefox both not loading any pages yet i am connected to the int

Safari and Firefox both not loading any pages yet when i run diagnostics it says i am connected to the internet... any ideas???

I am having the same problem. My airport says i'm connected with full bars but when i click on safari it takes a few minutes then says i'm not connected to the server. Now the kicker is i have a magicjack and you need internet to run it and that works fine... also i can access my itunes store which also requires internet. I can only run safari with the ethernet cable connected. That is how i'm connected now.. any ideas what it might be.. i have reset safari, emptied the cache, renewed the DHCP lease.. and all of the obvious... Please anyone help..oh p.s. my iphone picks up the wireless so it is working.. HELP......

I just updated to 3.6.11 and now firefox won't load any web page

I just updated to 3.6.11 and now firefox won't load any webpage it
just times out I tried diableing add-ons no difference. I't on internet exploers now. Tried rebooting.

Do you use McAfee Antivirus/Firewall/Security products? McAfee released a security update that is blocking Firefox 3.6.11. This should be cleared up with the next McAfee update.

Images in firefox won't load on android

images in firefox won't load on android. there is no option to click to download images - there is nothing in the image boxes at all.

Can you please update to Firefox 19?

My Firefox won't load any websites, but other web browsers will. I have tried following the proxy help to fix this, with no luck. What can I do next?

Any website I try to visit using Firefox won't load, it just keeps saying that it is unable to connect. I tried other web browsers, and they work no problem. I tried following the proxy steps provided, but did not help.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
If you use a Firefox 4 beta release then you should create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Firefox won't load web pages all the way, what can I do to fix this

I have this problem where firefox won't load any webpages all the way and if I try refreshing the page it shows some of the webpage but not the whole thing....and now it won't load any images either. I have tried everything that i could think of and nothing works. I can't watch anything on youtube or go on facebook and google won't work either.

There seems to be something of a pattern in that those are all secure sites (HTTPS address). Have you noticed any certificate errors recently that you might have solved by adding an exception, or does everything seem normal otherwise?
Here are the usual things:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Firefox won't load pages, but other browsers will.

Firefox won't load any internet pages, but different browsers, both Chrome and Explorer work, I havent tried others. I've un-installed, changed the name of the folder of the plug-ins that were left so it wouldn't recognize them, then re-installed nothing happened. I've checeked for viruses, proxies, and i'm pretty sure its not a firewall, I think we only have one and I checked it, plus there is no prompt asking me if I want to allow firefox to access the internet. It won't run in safe mode, so its not any add-ons, clearing the cache didn't do anything either. Its also not in offline mode. What else could it be?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Ever since installing a VPN (astrill), Firefox won't load webpages until Astrill is connected.

I installed a VPN, Astrill, and since Firefox won't load webpages unless it is on and connected. Once the initial connection has been made, I can turn off the VPN and firefox continues working. I'm on a windows 8.1 operating system. Has anyone had similar problems?

Try going to your Add-ons > Extensions, and disabling the Astrill extension.

I uninstalled Norton 360 under windows xp and now I'm getting this problem that firefox will no longer load pages. IE and Outlook still work and I can access the internet with them, I can ping any website I like successfully but Firefox won't load any pages ... N
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I uninstalled Norton 360 ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 4.0; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; InfoPath.2; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I found a fix for this, not only firefox but several other networking programs were broken as well (Outlook and IE were ok for some reason) so I reasoned that the Norton uninstall was incomplete somehow - I had done it from the add/remove programs in the control panel. Sure enough that's not enough to release Norton's tentacles in your system, there's an uninstall tool on their website (a whole set of them actually) that managed to carve it out completely and after a restart everything was back to normal. My machines will definitely be Norton-free from now on ... N

Safari and firefox won't launch and explorer opens but won't load correctly

Hi
Something weird is happening to our emac!
Got home yesterday after a few days away and all the apple aps have stopped working
Safari and itunes won't launch at all - they just bounce a couple of times in the dock - then nothing.
Firefox won't launch either - the only browser I can get to launch is explorer - and that won't load properly.
I've tried the software update - it says there's now software - but 'unexpectedly' quits if i try to download anything.
In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better.
I saw a thread earlier that suggested that rogue fonts might be to blame - which could be something because the only page that loads in explorer displays strangely with the fonts all over the place.
Any advice that someone could give would be much appreciated
thanks x

HI,
*"In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better."*
Better check the startup disk for errors.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space.
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode
