Unable to connect to the internet with firefox but other browsers are fine

i have been a firefox user for years and i have became very dependant on it. However for the past few weeks (i am using the latest version) firefox have been giving me problem. Sporadically and very frequently, there will be connection problem, it would be fine one second and the very next second i cant be connected to anywhere. whatever i click on will not bring me to a new page. it will appear to be loading but eventually nothing will come out. However i do not have this problem with google chrome safari or IE so i do not think its my connection problem. I would really want to continue using firefox so please any help on this?

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode.] And ideally '''No Proxy''' should be enabled in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Network '''> '''Settings...''', if you are not using a proxy.

Updated firefox, now I am unable to connect to the internet via mozilla but other browsers still work

When mozilla asked my for an update several months ago I chose to skip the install and wait. Did the install soon after and firefox stopped working even though my connection to the internet is fine. I uninstalled mozilla firefox, used another browser to access the mozilla website to reinstall firefox. This fixed my problem and firefox was working again, until another update came along. This time attempting to uninstall and reinstall did nothing. Once again I am left using another browser to use the support forum and firefox is not working. Please help!!

That is an indication that a firewall is blocking the new version of Firefox. For details see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

I am unable to connect to the Web with Firefox, the firefox site displays on screen, yet I can connect on the same desktop computer to Internet explorer and Opera, what is preventing me from opening the firefox browser

I am unable to connect to the web on my desktop with Firefox 8, the program displays but will not connect to the Internet, Other browsers Internet Explorer and Opera do connect on the same machine. McAfee is not blocking it, virus checks detect no virus yet yesterday it worked perfectly

I tried what was suggested by starting in Safe Mode but the problem still exists. I am frustrated as I cannot connect to my Verizon Fios page. I can connect to the Internet with the Firefox Browser and can go to any web site except finding my Verizon Home page.

Unable to connect to the internet with my Fujitsu ...

Ive just got a Home Hub 4 and have connected it to my laptop, a Fujitsu Esprimo V5535. But it is only giving me Local Only Access. Which means I cant connect to the internet. The Home Hub is working fine as my netbook and other mobile devices are all connected ok but my laptop isnt.... Is there anything I can do to resolve this?

Did it connect to the Internet with your old homehub?
Make sure the network card drivers on the laptop are up to date using the manufacturers website rather than Windows which can be out of date. You will need to connect by Ethernet cable to download them or download them on another device and copy them over.

I downloaded version 4 and now I cannot connect to the internet with firefox. The lower version worked fine. It keeps saying I'm offline. Any suggestions?

I have used the older version of firefox and it worked fine. I downloaded version 4 and now cannot get on the internet with firefox. It keeps saying I'm offline and to check a particular box to correct the problem. I have no idea what they're talking about and would appreciate any help.

Ah I figured it out.....Mcafey was blocking it. Why on earth did AVG being uninstalled update mcafey settings, to block firefox?

TS1398 i am unable to connect to the internet with my ipad

I had a problem with my router, that is sorted but now unable to connect to the wireless connection with my ipad

Did the password on the router change?
What happens whe you try to connect the iPad to the Wif network? Does it ask you for a password?
Some details of the problem would help us diagnose.

After using Firefox for quite some time,I am now unable to connect to the internet using Firefox.I get a pop up message stating that Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.How to fix this?

The message also states that I should check the proxy settings to make sure thaey are correct-I have no idea what this means,and says also to contact the network administer to make sure the proxy server is working.This is my home computer so I guess I am the administer.If it is any help I run system mechanic 10.5,but cannot find anything in system mechanic that I recognize as helpful.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I could use \Firefox ok but all of a sudden i can no longer use it. I get a message saying there is a problem connecting and although i am connected to the internet and can use other browsers, i cannot use firefox. It is allowed through my firewall.

i think i may have caused this wheni inadvertently pressed upgrade when i had an internet explorer message appear.

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.

My iPod touch 4g has stopped connecting to the wifi yet all my other devices are fine?

My iPod 4g hasn't been connecting to the wifi here since last night. It gets up to the point where the little wifi sign next to the server name becomes blue but then the tick never comes up next to the name to verify the connection. I have tried restarting my iPod multiple times, resetting network settings, turning wifi on and off and turning iPod on and off but nothing seems to be working... Anyone got any ideas as to why this might be happening and how to resolve it?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hotmail account - can't log in with Safari. Other browsers are fine.

I have no problems with iCab, Firefox or Internet Explorer.
TIA

Hi
this thread had a suggestion that worked for some people, at least.

I cannot access my website on Weebly when using Firefox although other browsers are fine so would it help to uninstall Firefox and then reinstall?

I am using Windows Vista. I have cleared the cache and cookies.'''

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Unable to Connect to the internet using airport extrteme

I am unable to connect to the internet using airport extreme It was working fine with my G3 & G4 iBooks but now I am unable to connect. I am able to connect directly to my Desktop connecting directly using ethernet. I am also receiving a strong signal from the airport base station. Please help. Thank you.

Try the following, in order, until resolved:
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

After a recent comcast / xfinity update I have been unable to even connect to the internet using firefox. I can using internet explorer.

After a recent comcast / xfinity update I have been unable to even connect to the internet using firefox. I can using internet explorer.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
