Tried opening Firefox and got error code 502 - problem with server - how do i fix please

i tried to open internet through Firefox as usual and got repeated error message 502 (problem with server - try again in 30 seconds) - but no joy. is there a problem with the server or is there a problem at my end somehow?
tks Paul

Thanks for the suggestion Rhonda. You're correct in saying this is impractical though. The fact is, I can't open a tab to keep it open. After doing some online research, I was able to locate a site where I could download a previous Firefox version (6.0). Problem solved! Google: "''How can I find a previous version of Firefox''. As I stated in my original question, Mozilla should not update w/o making certain it doesn't create these issues. I spent hours on this. I also turned off auto updates. I appreciate your suggestion. Thank you!

  • Tried to open Firefox and got error message: Platform version 1.9.2.15 is not compatible with minVersion 1.9.2.16, maxVersion 1.9.2.16

    Have been using Firefox several years without problem. Tried to open it today and got this error message in a XULRunner box. Tried rebooting and running in safe mode with same results. There may have been an upgrade but I don't remember.

    # Uninstall Firefox, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data" - that option will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
    # Check if the Firefox installation directory still exists, if it does delete it.The default location on 32 bit Windows is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    # Re-install Firefox, if you want Firefox 3.6 you can get it from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.

  • Reader asked for an upgrade to ver. 10.1.7. I tried this and got error code 1310. Troubleshooting

    suggested I uninstall Adobe Reader 10.1.7, and then install the new version. I uninstalled ver. 10.1.7....but got error code 1310 again when trying to install the current version of Reader. I have Windows 7. Now I have no Adobe Reader, as I can't seem to get past this error code. What is the solution to install Reader back on my computer? Naturally, ver. 10.1.7 was working flawlessly.

    I rebooted the computer...then went to:   http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/    ...and that resolved my issue! I now have tghe latest version of Adobe Reader.

  • When I try to open Safari, I get NCSW21 and that server can't be found. This happens everytime. I am using AirPort and have a strong internet signal. I have no problem opening Firefox and surfing the web. Only with the Safari page. Can anybody help.

    Hi Professor66,
    I have a couple of suggestions for you regarding this issue. Here are two links to users who have posted similar questions to yours and have found their answers in the responses to their posts:
    Safari hangs when loading web pages. | Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3784708
    Safari loading blank pages | Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3899912
    I would suggest that you first follow the troubleshooting that the OP did in the second link, which is to test in a new user account to see if the behavior is consistent. If it is, you may need to address the issue at a software level by re-installing Safari. More information on this process can be found in the following article:

  • Updated Firefox and lost all toolbars, Hotmail, EVERYTHING!! How do I fix this?

    Updated Firefox last evening. Got up this morning to a whole new page on the computer. Clicked on Firefox and got a blank page with just a Firefox logo and a Google search line. There are no toolbars for me to use to get to my e mail, pictures or other data.
    I clicked on the introductory and info arrows and it keeps telling me to click on the tool bar....there isn't one. How do I get my programs back? Where is my tool bar? I see a lot of other complaints like this, so this problem should have been fixed BEFORE you offered the update.
    I want my original opening page and tool bar and my Hotmail back. PLEASE!

    Set the pref <b>browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • Error code 36 (problems with external hard drive)

    I have just upgraded to Yosemite and am now having major problem with my external western digital hard drive.  I cannot create new folders and when I hit command N I get error code 36.  I also cannot move files from one folder to the next.  When I try to move them I get the error message: "The operation cannot be completed because a file of that name already exists" and that simply isn't true.  None of the files' names exist in the other folder.

    Ok, It appears to be the fault of Western Digital.  I ejected the hard drive and then plugged it back in and it said that the drive was broken but I could still read the files and it told me to save the files on another disk and reformat.  So it was just a coincidence that I upgraded to Yosemite at the same time that my external hard drive broke.

  • Only apple logo appears, cannot restore ipod, tried to restore and received error code 1602, what can I do?

    I am trying to figure out why I cannot restore my Ipod touch 64, when I get through the whole restore it states "error code 1602".  I have used the original cable that came with the Ipod and have tried it on two different computers.  When I turn it on only the apple logo appears and nothing else happens.  Please help

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
    If the phone is stuck on the Apple logo, you can try a hard reset (deletes no info). Press and hold the power button and Home button until the phone turns off. Then try to power it up again.
    Simply restarting your computer will not cause your iPhone to stop working unless there is a major issue with software conflicts on your computer... i.e.... corrupt iTunes installation.
    Try disabling any security software you might have and avoid using and USB hubs or extenders etc.
    If the hard reset doesn't work in getting your phone to boot up, then you'll have to do a restore of the device.

  • After updates i am unable to open firefox and have to reset comp to earlier date, my comp is new please help?

    i get a prompt to update firefox and i do then when i try to start firefox i am unable to. i have back-up my computer to previous date and the uninstall and re-install firefox to find the same prompt for updates from firefox and i cant ignore it so it is always there.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Error code 2318 (problem with installation package) HELP

    Ok so I tried to download itunes earlier today, and it went fine until the very end, I got this message...
    ''The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2318''
    So I went through and tried to repair the itunes to no avail. So I removed everything and ran the microsoft installer cleanup utility, then re-installed itunes and quicktime. Again everything went fine until the end, got the same ''2318'' error message. Itunes shows up on my desktop, as does quicktime. When I click itunes I get a pop up window telling me the application must close due to error, would I like to send an error report.
    So I went back and uninstalled everything AGAIN, and now its downloading again. I'm getting kidn of peeved... can anyone help me?

    ok I got it. Had to end up doing a small overhaul on the computer to remove the corrupted ''sample.mov'' file out of the quicktime folder, but its working now.
