Unable to access Firefox
I updated to the latest Firefox a couple of days ago & Yahoo also applied an update to their service. However, I did not like the changes but couldn't find a way to return to the way things were so I used a thing called "system restore" to go back a few days but since then my computer just won't work properly. Normally my default browser is Firefox & when I start up yahoo messenger appears & if I click it I can access my email & the web via Firefox. Now when I try to do this or click on any desktop icons an error message appears saying Windows couldn't access it. The only icon that works is Internet Explorer.

DdI am unable to access firefox or thunderbird after trying to update firefox
I tried to update firefox and both my firefox and thunderbird are not accessable any more. I tried to delete them and start over with no success. I get a widdow saying I must reboot to delete a prior version of firefox and when I click it that is the end. now I can not access my e-mail to get information from mozilla.
hello arbenny, this is an old homepage that wasn't maintained after firefox 4, but it was still hosted by google for the time the search contract between google and mozilla was in place, which is now no longer the case.
the new default homepage that firefox uses now is '''about:home''', which you can set like described at [[How to set the home page]] -
Updated to 14.0 and no longer can access firefox on my mac OSX--help!
Firefox urged me to update from 3.6 to 14.0, so I did. At the end of the process I was told that "14.0 is not compatible with your OSX system". I have since been unable to access Firefox, and lost all my bookmarks and other info. Also, my computer is slow since then (I"m using Safari). I hope you can help me reverse this, or do what is necessary to get back to Firefox.
I think you should alert people to this incompatibility before urging them to update! Thanks very much.Current versions of Firefox won't work on Mac OS X 10.4 - see [[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors]] - so if you were urged to update Firefox on your Intel Mac OS X 10_4_11 computer, that's a Firefox bug.
You can return to Firefox 3.6 to get access to your bookmarks and other profile data by removing the firefox.app for Firefox 14 and reinstalling Firefox 3.6, which is still available from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html -

Unable to access web setup from 4 different Win7 machines with IE9 / FireFox
I Hope someone can help, I suspect this may have something to do with a recent update to Windows or IE since this worked at least a couple of months ago.
I'm unable to access the web setup screen from 4 different windows machines running IE 9 or Firefox (various combinations of wireless, wired, etc.). When I get to the certificate error and hit the "yes, i understand, continue", it comes back with a 'can't be reached' page and looking into the details says the 'connection was dropped'. However If I connect from a MacBook / safari, I'm able to reach the page fine (and admin the router).
Summary:
Using a wrt610n
I am connected to the router, the ip address hasn't changed, the password hasn't changed
I can use the router & connect to the internet
I have the router set to require HTTPS, but switching it to allow HTTP doesn't help.
Both Wired & Wireless Win 7 / IE9 machines can't connect.
Tried setting the router ip address to 'trusted' zone in IE
Tried setting the router ip address to the 'compatibility' mode in IE
Tried using latest version of Firefox with the same results.
Thanks in Advance!
StephenBefore I suggest you any troubleshooting steps, I would like to ask few question. Like did you try opening the “https://192.168.1.1” in Internet Explorer 8. If not, then try to open the Router Management page in the same manner in Internet Explorer 8 and check whether it opens or not. As it should show up.

Since installing the newest version of Firefox 4.0, I am unable to access my work e-mail which uses Lotus Domino Web Access. Can anyone please tell me how to correct this problem?
Sheesh. That looks hard. I think it will fall over at this point:
"Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP" 'cos Thunderbird uses only the regular email protocols: POP, IMAP and SMTP.
Here (at work) we have in the past have had IMAP and SMTP enabled on our Exchange server so Thunderbird could then connect just like to any other regular internet-based service.
With the change here to outlook365/outlook 2010 I've had to switch to using DavMail which lets Thunderbird talk to the mail server using OWA.
I haven't (seriously) tried Exquilla. Whilst I have great respect for its author and some of his other add-ons, I saw no reason to use an add-on that required payment when DavMail works for free. -

Also make sure that your computer has the required libraries installed. Missing libraries will cause Firefox to be inoperable.
''Please note that GNU/Linux distributors may provide packages for your distribution which have different requirements.''
'''Firefox will not run at all without the following libraries or packages:'''
* GTK+ 2.18 or higher
* GLib 2.22 or higher
* Pango 1.14 or higher
* X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)
* libstdc++ 4.3 or higher
''For optimal functionality, we recommend the following libraries or packages:''
* NetworkManager 0.7 or higher
* DBus 1.0 or higher
* HAL 0.5.8 or higher
* GNOME 2.16 or higher
The installation file provided by Mozilla in .tar.bz2 format does not contain sources but pre-compiled binary files, therefore you can simply unpack and run them. There is no need to compile the program from source.
So once you run it with all dependencies, Firefox should run.

I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox. When I try to open it (and this is on a Mac), it does not respond and freezes with a white screen, the tab says "connecting...," and there are no bookmarks or anything showing on the browser. It does not respond at all - I cannot even click into the navigation to change any of the preferences. Please, someone help! Not having Firefox is killing me!
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.

Unable to Access Internet Despite Adapter Showing "Connected".
Hi, I have a Lenovo "G"-Series notebook, Type 4446-38U which has suddenly stopped allowing me to access my internet connections. The PC is only about a month old. It is running XP Professional.
I have three connection options: 1) dial-up (using an onboard HDAudio Soft Data Fax Modem with Smart CP); 2) ethernet or Local Area Connection (using an onboard Broadcom Netlink Fast Ethernet); and 3) wireless (using an onboard Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN) -- none of these components are showing that they have conflicts/problems in the System Properties/Device Manager.
At my home, which is located in a rural area where I can only get dial-up, I tried checking my e-mail last week (with Mozilla Thunderbird), but received an error notice stating that the e-mail server could not be found; it was the same issue, when I tried to get Norton virus updates (Internet Security 2009), XP updates on the Microsoft website (using Microsoft Updates with Internet Explorer), and simply accessing the web (using Mozilla Firefox) -- i.e., "Server Not Found." The odd thing is that I can not only hear the connection being made by the modem, but can also see that the device is 'Connected', when I check the connection in Control Panel/Network Connections. The following day at my office, I checked the other connection options (ethernet & WiFi), and found that I had the same problem -- i.e., they were shown as "Connected" in Control Panel/Network Connections, but I was unable to access anything on the web (e.g., e-mail, Google, virus/Microsoft updates, etc.). It's as if there is something blocking the internet connection to these programmes/utilities.
When I ran the Microsoft Networking Troubleshooter ('Diagnose Network Configuration & Run Automated Networking Tests), all the Network Adapters were shown as having passed. Ditto, when I ran the "Test a TCP/IP Configuration Using the Ping Command" -- pinging 127.0.0.1, the results showed 4 packets sent and 4 received.
I spent several hours on the phone with Lenovo Tech Support to no avail, and their instruction that I uninstall Norton Internet Security made no difference either. When they instructed me to open a Command Prompt and ping 192.168.1.1, the results showed that there were 4 packets sent and 4 received. When I was instructed to ping the IP Address for the wireless adapter, the results showed 4 packets send and 4 received. When I was instructed to ping www.google.com, the results showed that the ping request could not find the host www.google.com. Lenovo Tech Support stated that there was nothing further they could do, and that I needed to use a utility to set everything back to factory specs (i.e., have a utility programme erase everything on the hard drive and reinstall XP ... and even then I was told that there was no guarantee that would fix things, meaning that the PC would then have to be sent into their repair depot). Before I do this, I was hoping that someone here might know as to what's going on with my connection problems and how it could be fixed, without having to erase everything.
I would appreciate any insight or advice anyone might have. Thanks so much!
~ JackI did do a complete uninstall of Norton (i.e., didn't save any of the settings), but that didn't resolve the connection problem. I also turned off Microsoft's firewall as well, once Norton was uninstalled (it had been turned off, when Norton was installed, and once Norton was uninstalled, MS firewall defaulted back to an on/active status).
I also forgot to mention in my initial description of the problem and actions taken thus far to try and correct it, that I additionally tried the "ping" procedure described in paragraph five above in Windows Safe Mode with Networking, but was still unable to connect to the internet. -
I use Windows XP, Firefox, AVAST firewall (free). As of a month or more ago, I have been unable to see followers on my blog. There is a gadget button, but no followers listed. I am unable to access followers, though I know how many followers I have and when another follower has joined.
My sister is able to see the icons on her computer. Is there a process by which I can regain access to followers on Blogger? I have contacted them, Google, AVAST--and so far no one has any answers.Make sure you're downloading the Mac OSX version of Flash Player

i have mac 10.6.8 and safari 5.1.10. on checking help website i am told latest flash player 16.0.0.305 is already installed BUT does not appear on my list of applications and am unable to access websites requiring it. have also downloaded flash player installer app but unable to download the flash player itself. can anyone help? thank you!
Hi Anne,
Your version of Safari is still supported. Please see Adobe Flash Player | Tech specs for supported OS and browsers.
If the Flash Player plugin is in the Plug-ins (disabled) folder it's because it's an older version that Apple has disabled in Safari. This has nothing to do with whether or not Flash Player supports the browser.
I'm not sure what you mean by "when i click on flash player itself i am told there is no application to open it." Flash Player.plugin only works in the browser to view Flash content in the browser. The plugin does not open files outside of the browser. If you have SWF files you'd like to view outside of the browser, then you'll need the Flash Player projector. However, based on your previous comments this doesn't appear to be what you are trying to do.
Google Chrome does embed Flash Player in it, while Firefox does not. Mozilla has also recently started blocking older versions of Flash Player in Firefox similar to what Apple is doing in Safari.
Following the 'clean install' instructions should result in you having the latest version of Flash Player installed that will not be blocked by the browser.

I am using the firefox version 17 and when i drag and drop an image on my website. It gives me the following error.
Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follow these steps: (1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again. Or go to the homepage for a link to the tutorial on how to do it.
I have completed the above steps and it is still showing the same error message. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.Thanks kumars ,
I have a specific drag and drop area on our website. This works fine for all earlier releases of Firefox after these security settings
"(1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again."
Bust these settings not work for me in Firefox 17.
Yes the drag and drop functionality is java script based and i am not using any script blocker addons.
