When I open firefox android, my wifi and mobile data switch off on HTC one M7

I cannot surf the net with firefox on my HTC one M7 as of this week.
Every time I open the browser, it closes my wifi and mobile data, meaning I get the error 'server not found'
i tried removing it and all its add ons, then re-installing...
Just the same.
Anyone help please?

Hi RichyRiches
# I have an HTC One M7 running Firefox for Android 35 with Android 4.4.3. Is that what you are using?
# "Every time I open the browser, it closes my wifi and mobile data, meaning I get the error 'server not found' " - Strange I have no such issue. Any websites in particular? Or is all of them? Do other web browers work?
# I don't think this is a Firefox for Android problem. In the past problems like that have been because of WiFi issues caused by firewalls. Please check with your ISP and check your firewall.
Cheers!

  • All that comes up when I open Firefox are my toolbars and a place to enter a URL, but there is no window. I have to enter full screen mode to view websites.

    Something happened with Firefox where all that comes up when I open Firefox are my toolbars and a place to enter a URL, but there is no window. I have to enter full screen mode to view websites. How do I get back to a regular browsing window? I have no idea how this even happened.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • WIFI and mobile data connections not connecting with any other outside WIFI networks. Bluetooth not working in car. Any solution?

    After installed iOS7 I am facing the following two problems:
    1. WIFI as well as mobile data connection are working fine at my home. But, not connecting with any other outside WIFI networks. Error message is 'unable to join network'. Mobile data also not connected outside my home. Sometimes wifi and mobile data connect outside my home when I turn off and on the phone.
    2. Bluetooth, in my car, paires well and incoming and out going calls can be received and made. The problem is no sound out put from speakers.
    Apple please make note of the above problems (of million people) and give solution before giving any other updations for painting and tinkering the screens.

    Check this thread, the same solution might work for you:

  • Wifi and mobile data problems

    Hello
    I am reporting a problem regarding the wifi and mobile data on my Xperia Z1. Whenever I lock my phone, the wifi and mobile data keeps turning on by itself again and again. I have tried to turning the "automatic turn on wifi when sleep" to "never" but it keeps turning "always" whenever I lock my phone, so does the mobile data. I look forward to some replies.
    Sincerely

    Hi @Nick2510 I suggest you to first run a backup of the device information like this: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/Backup-amp-Transfer/m-p/407253#U407253 Try performing a system repair using PC Companion: http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/ This will factory reset your phone and erase all data. You might need tocharge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 80% battery. Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device). Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process. If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose
    Windows 7 or XP. I hope can be useful. I'm at disposal for any question. Best Regards,

  • Why can't I play downloaded podcasts with WiFi and Cell Data turned off?

    I'm on a limited data plan and want to ensure I'm not downloading or streaming podcasts when I'm not on WiFi.  It appears I have several podcasts downloaded (Blue Dot next to the title) but I'm not sure.... When I turn off WiFi and Cell Data, the podcasts grey out and are unable to play.  Why would I not be able to play a downloaded podcast while I'm off the network (both WiFi and Cell data)?

    Update....  Apparently the blue dot just indicates whether or not you've listened to the particular podcast or not, regardless of it's download status.  After playing with the app more, it also appears that many podcasts are not downloading to the device as I thought.  When I turn on Airplane mode, many podcasts are not playable (greyed out) but some that I have already listened to are playable.  I'm assuming the podcasts that are playable when on airplane mode are the only ones that are actually downloaded to the device (this makes sense doesn't it?).  So now my question is, "why aren't these podcasts being downloaded after I press the download button?".   They seem to play OK in streaming mode, either from WiFi or Cell Network.  Any insights?
    Thanks.

  • Rainbow wheel appears when I open Firefox - then it hangs and all I can do is force-quit.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox on my Macbook Pro. The same thing keeps happening - I open Firefox and the rainbow wheel appears - that's it. I have tried to reset Firefox (I was able to click a "reset" button yesterday but nothing happened. I tried to reset it today but an unable to do so). All I can do is force quit the application. I think resetting it to default might work but I cannot write anything in the address bar or click on any of the tabs because the rainbow wheel is the only thing that appears. This has never happened before and I don't know what's going on.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar. Then select
    '''Bookmarks'''. Hot key is '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> B.'''
    Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled
    '''Import and Backup.''' Select '''Export Bookmarks To HTML,''' and follow
    the prompts and save it to a '''HTML''' file. Copy the file to another computer.
    Repeat the instructions above, BUT select '''Import Bookmarks From HTML,'''
    These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.

  • When I open Firefox I get text and no graphics - how do I fix this?

    Graphics are fine on web pages, but I see only text on the home page.

    Can you attach a screenshot?
    *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
    *Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
    Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
    Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    Note that these settings affect background images.

    There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

  • I have installed bearshare and now when I open firefox, my homepage disappears and the my google search engine is now bearshare which I don't want.

    I installed bearshare as my program for downloading music, but after installation, my homepage has disappeared and my google search engine has changed to bear share.
    I want google as my default search engine.

    To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.<br><br>
    * In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.<br><br>
    * In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''<br><br>
    * Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=<br>
    The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
    '''To reset your home page, do the following'''.<br><br>
    * Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.<br><br>
    * Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.<br><br>
    * Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.<br><br>
    * Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.<br>
    After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
    ''''''EDIT'''''': After you complete the above steps, go to Add/Remove Programs and remove the Bearshare Media Bar. It may be called "BMB".

  • After the latest 7.0.3 update, on an iPhone 4, if both wifi and mobile data are on, Safari launches but freezes. It's ok with just wifi or just mobile data turned on but not with both on at the same time!

  • When I open firefox, it starts not on my homepage, but on a search page I've never willingly downloaded, and have uninstalled from my computer. Why?

    Today, I've had quite some trouble with my computer. I think it was attacked by something sneaky, but I managed to stop it and fix everything. Everything but this one thing.
    When I open the firefox browser, it does not automatically go to my homepage, despite having followed every instruction for this to happen. Instead, it opens in a search engine called "awesomehp" which I have, previously to this, never heard of, and never installed. WHen I click the "home"-button, it goes to my actual homepage, and everything is ok.
    I have tried to uninstall this...."awesomehp" search engine, but it STILL shows up automatically when I open FireFox. Why? And this is even after I've reset FireFox to its default settings once.
    Why does this happen, and what can I do to fix it?

    Every now and then, you should run these programs<BR><BR>

  • I don't see a Sync option when I open FIrefox Preferences, how do I proceed?

    I am wanting to set up Firefox on my Iphone. The instructions advise me to go into FIrefox preferences on my computer (macbook pro, OS 10.5) and open up the Sync option in the preferences. When I open Firefox (3.16.13) and go to Preferences, I see, from left to right, General, Tabs, Content, Applications, Privacy, Security and Advanced. No Sync. WHen I look at the SYncing instructions there appears to be a Sync option, but there is none I can find on my computer. What am I missing/not doing?

    Hi!
    Updates are automatic when you are at the latest version. Is there any reason why you are still on 3.6?? If you move to the latest version (Firefox 8.1) you will have Sync and automatic updates.
    Firefox 3.6 doesn't include Sync on the browser. If you want to use it you should upgrade to Firefox 8 by visiting the following link: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/

  • Please help me with this error i see when i open firefox on my android phone after installation !

    after i install any version of firefox on my htc chacha (android 2.3),when i open firefox,in some versions of firefox i get this error: "the application firefox (process org.mozilla.firefox) has stopped unexpectedly.please try again."
    and when i try again i get the same error again and again
    in some other versions i get this error: " this device does not meet the minimum system requirements for firefox"
    btw i can not install any program from android market so i have to download files through my pc and install them on my phone

    The reason why your phone will not install Firefox from Market is because it has a older ARMv6 cpu when ARMv7 is required.
    The good news is that Mozilla is looking to try and have ARMv6 builds of mobile Firefox releases in future. Your phone looks to have reasonable specs to run it then.
    Another option is to try the third-party builds from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25855563

  • Why does "My Yahoo" open in a new tab [only after a restart of the system] when I open Firefox and my options are set to restore tabs?

    after a system restart, when I open Firefox, a new tab appears with My Yahoo displayed. I have my options set to restore session/tabs, with my home page listed as blank [not the best, i know]. I have not installed any new programs, other than Norton, to 2010 and have only done updates as required.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == recently...I usually only shut down for reboots.

    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later or [[Clearing private data|Clear Private Data]] in Firefox 3 to clear the 'Browsing History' when Firefox is closed then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.
