So cannot load websites that other programs can includes Mozillas help pages!!! my first issue was with Linked IN but now these help pages dont work either

I cannot log in to LINKED IN via firefox . however I can with IE8. why? also when I click teh Firefox wont open pages that other pbrowsers will I get a firfox cannot open the page message. I hope this is a joke!!! Hah hah

When this occurs it's usually because a proxy is set in the Network preference pane when one isn't needed or vice-versa.
Firefox uses its own proxy settings and as such doesn't rely on the settings in System Preferences.

  • After updating mozilla, I've had problems loading around 30% of websites that other programs can load just fine. Also, what happened to saving your opened tabs to be loaded when you next time start mozilla?

    Some of the websites download partly, but their lay out is wrong and some parts don't get loaded at all. This is sometimes fixed by hitting f5, but not always.

  • Why can't the finder in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 find files that have successfully downloaded, or that other programs can find?

    Why can't the finder in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 find files that have successfully downloaded, or that other programs can find?
    This happens with maybe 1 out of 5 files. These are files that have either an ."aa" extention, or or are libraries that icloud can see, but finder can't.

    Files beginning with a period are invisible and library files are system files. Spotlight cannot find either unless configured to do so (btw, this is not a Finder issue but a Spotlight issue.)
    Get Spotlight to search system files (and more)
    Enter the search term in the Finder window's search field.
    Click the [+] button in the search bar to add a search option.
    In the first drop down menu choose Other.
    Choose “System Files” from the list that pops up (and check the box to place in drop down menu to avoid this step later,) click on the OK button.
    Now back in the Finder choose Include from the second drop down menu.

  • Soundbooth (CS5) fails to load a set of .aif files (that other programs can happily open)

    Soundbooth is failing to open a set of .aif files, has anyone had a similar problem? I have tried loading these .aif files in other programs, but every program in CS5 fails to open them.
    Does anyone know why this is happening, have any similar experiences or know if and when this is going to be resolved?
    Considering I paid for this I am very disappointed that I've been having so much troubles loading aif and wave files that so many other programs open without any issues - and I've not heard a word in response to my actual problem that I have been reporting on for a few months now.

    ADDENDUM:-
    When I say "I have tried loading these .aif files in other programs", I mean outside of CS5, and they open the files without any trouble.

  • Firefox cannot load websites when Internet Explorer can.

    I have read your article about this but I cannot follow your instructions as the only "tools" I can find to click on is in IE and brings down "internet options", which has an "advanced" tab (not a panel) and no settings tab. Am I misssing something? I am having the same problem on my desk top! Both have just occured in the last 2w. Thanks; Robin

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, 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 and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Firefox has just started being incapable of accessing any website while other programs--Eudora & IE--continue accessing web as usual.

    Firefox has worked well for years. Suddenly yesterday it started failing to find any web site. The message is always "unable to connect." Meanwhile, IE and Eudora continue accessing the web as usual.

  • Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can

    Firefox cannot load any webpages, but IE can.
    I have tried everything suggested. This problem happened befoer I updated Firefox and did not resolve after I updated firefox.
    I tried changing internet settings, disabling firewall, and even disabling IVP6, but nothing is working.

    *What exactly happens, or does not happen and do you get any error messages ?
    *Is it all websites you have a problem with, or only some ?
    * What happens if you work offline, can you load web pages that are saved on your own computer ? <br> (save something with IE, -as HTML web page files - maybe this page, then try opening it with both Firefox and IE)
    Can you use firefox to look at your local disk such as (depending on your setup) ''file:///C:/''

  • Firefox cannot load websites, but other programs can. Listed guide/faq not effective.

    I went through the FAQ guide for firefox not loading webpages, but after having changed both boolean setting in the about:config section of the firefox advanced settings, deleting and re-adding it to the program permissions list in my firewall (mcafee antivirus 2011), and even attempting to completely disable the firewall for a period of time, I am still unable to browse the internet on firefox. Internet explorer, however, does work.

  • Firefox and other 32 bit programs cannot load websites intermittently

    From time to time, perhaps once a day, firefox cannot load any websites for about 30 min to several hours. No error message is given, the page just continues to attempt to load. A similar thing occurs in thunderbird at this time as well as IE 8. However IE 8 64 bit operates without a problem.
    I commplete all instruction in the support page "Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can", without sucess. I have also disabled all addons and puggins.

    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

    Firefox cannot load ANY websites, but IE can, even after I tried all the ideas in the current articles on this topic as of March 10, 2011!
    One day it was fine, and the next day it stopped working! I have tried everything suggested under the topic "Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can."

    You should e able to install FlashPlayer separately on IE and Firefox. So you may use Flash 11.3 on IE and 11.2 or 10.3 on Firefox.
    Work from the administrator account. First of all sort out Firefox, use the Adobe uninstaller to uninstall Flash before reinstalling 11.2 Afterwards check that IE is ok, the Uninstaller may have changed that so you may need to reinstall Flash on IE.
    * see instructions in [[flash 11.3 crashes]]
    You are apparently using an outdated Firefox 8. That is not secure you should update to the latest Release Firefox 13 (or within a day or so Firefox 14)
    You may also encounter problems relating to use of RealPlayer software and that software may affect use of FlashPlayer 11.3
    * see also [[Fix problems with RealPlayer add-ons]]
    * a user ''blacksabath710'' recently posted a workaround in [/questions/931055] suggesting use of free software from http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/
    P.S.
    When you finish set Firefox's FlashPlayer not to upgrade, and until this issue is resolved do not follow suggestions from Adobe, or Plugincheck etc. to upgrade Flash.
    Use this test page form Adobe in each browser and account to check Flash is working ok
    * http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
    The test page will display version information and error messages or a Flash animation to prove flash is working.
