Since yesterday's (Nov 6th) update, firefox fails to load any sites from web (still displays html files from PC). I tried restore, didn't help.

I've installed the recommended update yesterday (Nov 6th) but didn't restart Firefox. Since restarting the computer this morning, Firefox has failed to open any website from the web. The connection is ok, explorer loads the sites normally, Firefox opens tabs as normal, it's just that the content of the pages doesn't show up, and after a while we get messages like "connection timed out". HTML files that I have stored on my own hard drive display normally in Firefox.
I tried "restore Firefox" but it didn't help.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • After update, firefox doesn't load any site, not even home page. tried older version, same . what's wrong

    auto update to FF5. no home page displayed(about blank), won't load any page from bookmarks. I un-installed and re-installed FF3.6. still won't load any web sites, bookmarked, homepage or others typed in. Chrome and IE still work so not connection or PC fault. I have tried changing proxy, and all other suggestions in your help pages, no effect.
    HP Pavillion6300UK running Win XP sp3.5 all updates in place, drivers etc up to date.

    It seems that '''every'''solution want to begin with "start Firefox in safe mode" and then check your addons/plugins one at a time. This is extremely time consuming and irritating. I'm almost at the point of looking for other browsers.

  • My Firefox will not load any sites. I used it yesterday and it was just fine, haven't installed/uninstalled anything, and today I have nothing.

    I uninstalled, reinstalled, and reinitialized Firefox but I am still unable to load ANYTHING.

    hello, there was an update to firefox 18.0.2 recently, so maybe see [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]].

  • Firefox does not load any sites the first time, including Firefox itself, other browsers do.

    In the last few days I have experienced a problem logging on to nearly every site the first time. I get the message that the connection was reset....we have 3 identical computers in our home and I am the only one experiencing this problem. I can immediately try again and log on, but it is annoying to get that message with all sites, including Firefox itself, I have tried to clean out my cache and my cookies, but the problem persists.
    Also, firefox is locking up my computer frequently. As it is as I attempt to send this message. I will copy and past this into another message as soon as I restart my computer.

    Hi cor-el,
    Yes the problem has reappeared, so I tried bypassing the cache for my Windows computer as you suggested: Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button, or "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows) I then clicked on my bookmark (http://mdotnetpublic.state.mi.us/drive/ ) and I still see a blank screen and a spinning wheel. This seems to go on indefinitely. But like before I posted the question, when I click the reload button it forces the page to load right away.
    [running Firefox 32]
    I appreciate your quick responses, and look forward to more suggestions. I'll also search the support pages for information about my problem.
    Thank you.

  • Does the upgrade to ios 8.1 really took so long? since yesterday the status is "Update Requested".

    does the upgrade to ios 8.1 really took so long? since yesterday the status is "Update Requested".

    I have the same problem. Software Update sits for many hours, stating "Update Requested..." Gear spins slowly, but it reaches no conclusion. Tried restarting phone several times.

    I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and<BR>

    <BR>While you are in safe mode;<BR>

    Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.<BR>

    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.

  • Firefox fails to load websites after using Thunderbird

    When using my new laptop HP Pavilion dm 1, Windows 7 Home Premium, Firefox 4 fails to load any websites after I have used Thunderbird v3.1.9. The only solution is to reboot which is becoming very annoying. I use Firefox 4 and Thunderbird on 3 HP Desktops using Windows 7 Pro without this problem occurring. I have uninstalled Firefox and Thunderbird and then reinstalled and the problem persists. I even did a complete recovery of the laptop starting fresh as it came from the factory and the problem continues. I have disabled and erased all history. I have tried safe mode. Nothing seems to work. I did note on laptop that default manager 2.2 is not enabled (comes up false in troubleshooting log)...not sure if that's a problem as I am traveling in Dubai and cannot match it against my desktop settings. So long as I do not open Thunderbird I have no problems with Firefox. Could there be some kind of conflict between these programs?

    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache in such cases.
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    * Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

  • HT4059 I can't open my books with the update, says failed to load book because the requested resources is missing.  Please HELP.

    I can't open my books with the update, says failed to load book because the requested resources is missing.  Please HELP.

    If you can't open a particular ibook then try deleting it from the bookshelf via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf, and (assuming that it's still in your country's store) redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app (or if you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library sync it back from there).

  • Problem with importing saved .json backup file in fresh installed firefox 3.6.8? Message "unable to process the backup file", when i choosed option "Restore" from menu "organize your bookmarks" !?

    Hello,
    my problem is with importing saved .json backup file in fresh installed firefox 3.6.8? Message "unable to process the backup file", when i choosed option "Restore" from menu "organize your bookmarks" !?
    Normally that i followed all instructions from your support site, and that i tried many things, but nothing helped :( !?
    my .json file isn't corrupted cause it was saved on another partition before formatting my OS.
    Please don't tell me that my bookmarks are lost :( cause i had many important things in that bookmarks, on 100.s pages :( ....
    Thanks in advance!
    Sincerely,
    hoho33

    Can you restore that JSON backup in a new profile?
    Did you make sure that it is really a JSON backup and that there is no missing or hidden other file extension?
    A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded"
    A HTML backup starts with: <!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
    You can try if you can restore that JSON backup in a new profile.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
    See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    Please for administration of this support site, make possibility to quote someone's answer, on this way is dificult to answer somebody who wrote some suggestion!
    No, i can't restore JSON backup in new profile, even on fresh installed OS XP SP3, with fresh installation of latest version of firefox!
    MAN I TOLD YOU 10X IT'S 200 % JSON BACKUP FILE!!! I'M NOT IN IT FROM YESTERDAY, I WORK IN IT 12 YEARS!!!
    I tried restoring json backup in new profile, but nothing, i couldn't restore, cause that stupid error from screen shot which i posted again appears !
    Man i'm not totally noob i repeat 2nd time here, and normally that i know to create new profile, and that i tried that, but that didn't help!
    I can't believe that FIREFOX has not good support team, and doesn't care for yours users, this will not give me more reason to use in future firefox
    like borwser, if i don't have good support, and when i have problem like this, to loose all my very important bookmarks and passwords on them, and
    firefox support won't to help me to solve my problem!
    If somebody from firefox support team read this, i can give you Remote desktop access to my computer to try solve this problem, like other serious company
    like HP, Dell , etc. give remote desktop support to their users!
    Corel are you from firefox support team? Please don't write same suggestions, cause i know to read, and i understand well if you write once some suggestion!

  • After upgrading to 9.0.1 Mozilla Firefox for my pc, Firefox will not load any web pages.

    After upgrading to 9.0.1 Mozilla Firefox on my pc, Firefox will not load any web pages whatsoever, not even itself. My OS is Windows Vista 64. Thanks for any help. (Having to use Internet Explorer presently.)

    Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
    * [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache/ Clear Cookies & Cache]
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * Update All your Firefox Plugins -> [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/]
    ** '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Firefox will not load any web page, other programs will. Continuously "connecting"

    Firefox will not load any pages, but Google Chrome will. Firefox will 'load' the home page, but with any other site, the tab will continuously circle and say "connecting". I have tried clearing my cache, starting in safe mode, and restarting my computer. So far, nothing is working.

    Update..when I open firefox from scratch, the main firefox pages on the home page seem to work. But as soon as I try to go anywhere else, IE going to a website in the address bar or even trying to access the defauly bookmark links, it just sits there loading but never brings anything up.
