When i select firefox, i get a page won't load error. The firewall is set to allow.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled. I can access my mail, and use other browsers, but something seems to be blocking firefox.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I had the same problem and it was because of my firewall settings, which I had set to block all activity and forgot to reset it.

  • When i installed firefox on windows my page does not look like the set up in the help support set up section

    when installed the page doesnt look like one that helps you in setup support - i dont have orange firefox tab upper left nothing is the same and very irritating trying to follow your suggestions nothing works

    Also make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
    *Firefox menu button > Options
    *View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the hidden Menu bar)
    *Right-click empty toolbar area
    Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
    *check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

  • When accessing Mozilla Firefox I get ALOT page no bookmark, no e-mail address. what has happened?

    This happened today - yesterday I had a 'normal screen' showing bookmarks and my e-mail address for direct access. Now I cannot get into gmail. All I have is a ALOT screen which I do not want. Please clear this up. But reply to [email protected] NOT gmail cos I can't get in!!!!!
    Many thanks.

    Oh, good. I'm not losing my mind! I'm having the same problem on every Firefox page, starting this morning. I would think this is some sort of hack job going on, but if not, it's REALLY annoying either way. Just to check I also loaded my Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome, and they're loading normally.

  • When I open Firefox, I get a page that says that Firefox did not direct properly and to try again. When I click the try again, the home page opens. What can I do to avoid this. It just started today. Rebooting does not help.

    This happens only with the home page when I open the browser.

  • Internet is connected and majority of the websites work, yet sometimes the pictures are not loading? And the suddenly the hole page won't load? The weirdest thing is I go venture off to another website and it'll work just fine??

    So I have been having this very annoying problem with the loading of certain internet sites e.g - Ebay, google maps, google in general & you tube.
    My internet connection is fine and i have spoken with my service provider TPG and Apple about this annoying issue.
    I can be generally browsing on google for instance and then suddenly the page freezes? No matter how many times i click the Refresh tab it still manages to do the same thing. Now the most confusing bit is, instead of clicking the refresh button I then venture off to Yahoo for instance and that website will work just fine??
    Ugh, another (now) consistant issue is that none of my pictures are loading when im on Ebay? yet i can browse every catagory just fine....?
    Please, if there is anyone out there HELP ME.... I'm a Mechanical Technician (Fitter by Trade) I do not class myself as a Computer Technician.... Far from it!!

    Thanks for the advise....
    You're correct about the steps you mentioned earlier.  Tho Unfortunetely I've tried these things. Infact I was on the phone with applecare last night for about an hr & a half, yet even they seem stunned as to what is causing this?
    We reset the safari in a different way as you mentioned earlier (I would not have been able to do this without some Technical assistance)
    Open Finder >  click on the GO tab > Hold down the OPT key & a tab will appear that reads [Libary]
    Click on Libary > Now look for a folder that reads [Safari]
    Drag this folder to the desktop
    Now open the folder that reads [Preferances]
    Look for files: com.apple.safari.plist & com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
    Now quit any programs operating & restart the computer.
    Vwallaa Safari is officailly reset, it will even take you on a tour when you open it for the first time.
    Now the catch is.... this didnt work "For me"  So My next step was to make a dummy account on my Mac (making sure that it had administrator rights) I then tried it on the dummy account. Luck would have it as it still managed to do the same thing.
    Apple came to the conclusion that restoring Lion might be a possible solution. So we done just that, wasnt till this morning when i turned on this annoying Mac i realised that it is still doing the same thing.
    Apple care is going to call me this afternoon so hopefully "fingers crossed" this issue can be fixed.

  • My macbook pro won't load all the way when I start it up.

    Lately, my mac book pro has been slow to use, and the colour wheel pops up often. I shut it down earlier today, and now when I try to start it up, it won't load all the way. When I do manage to get to the homescreen, the applications and toolbars won't load. Any ideas what the issue might be and how I can fix it?

    It could be a number of issues, Fred.
    Have you optimized your photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels, per the FAQs to the right of this forum? Oversized photos are the chief reason for these types of failures.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/431851?tstart=0
    You also say your videos are MP4s. Are these AVCHD video or are they from a "webbie" camcorder, such as the Flip cam? Flip video uses a proprietary codec that often jams up video editors. This is also covered in our FAQs.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/437535?tstart=0
    Finally, have you ensured that the drive you are saving your video to has adequate free space and is freshly defragmented? You should always have at least 30 gigs of free space on your drive plus 30-50 more for each hour of video you're outputting.
    And, if you are exporting to a drive other than your C drive, you should ensure that the drive is formatted NTFS rather than FAT32. FAT32 drives have a file size limit that often chokes video output.

  • When i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file.

    when i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file. i select firefox to open firefox, and it opens to - Index of file:///C:/Documents and Settings/HP_Administrator/- instead of my home page. this has been going on for months. today i updated my kaspersky intrnet security 2011 and since then fire fox will only open in firefox safe, even if i shut down kaspersky. IE opens with no problems.
    thanks

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    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")

  • Have Firefox & Bing and when I open Firefox I get Ref A and string of characters; then when I get to Bing, no toolbar with bookmarks, etc or way to access mail.

    I made Bing my browser and it was working fine until today. When I open Firefox I get a message Ref A: and then a long string of characters. I click on the home icon and the string changes. After doing this several times I get the Bing search page. I do not get the Firefox start page with the tool bar that has my book marks, history etc. I cannot clear the cache if I cannot not get the history tab. If I go the the mozilla firefox program folder and open it, there is a tool bar but cannot clear recent history, etc. there. I do not have an administrator & password on my home desk top; it is just me. I tried to follow your suggestions, but they do not apply to my situation. I really don't know if this is a firefox or bing problem. I used google before bing and had no problems; just wanted to try bing.

  • When I close Firefox, I get an error That says "The insstuctions at 0x7c911389 references memory at 0x0000010. The memory could not be read

    When I exit Firefox, I get an error message that says The instuction at 0x7c911389 referenced memory at 0x000000010 The memory could not be read.

    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.

    Lyall,
    I have seen this before, a long time ago (several years), and I cannot
    remember how/if we resolved it.
    If this is an impotant issue to you, I suggest that you open a case with
    BEA support.

    Peter.

    This is a rather important issue, I have seen another post with a similar problem.
    While not being a show-stopper it certainly raises concerns.
    The application works ok until the application exits (in both development and
    executable form)
    Apparently this did not happen with Tux 7.1
    It does with 8, I do not have 7.1 so I have no workaround.

    I am sorry if thie is republished-My first time doing this and I am not sure what goes where and where to hear feedback.
    Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get -
    404: Page not found 
    This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-
    Troubleshooting suggestions:
    Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
    Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
    Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists
    is the problem with
    iweb or with hosting?
    One Apple tech started to fix Iweb and had to end session and the next said problem with hosting at Network Solutions as it published
    to local folder. NWS has checked sttting a few times-
    Any help would be extremely appreciated as trying to fix this for about five weeks
    Thanks VG

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
    You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
    If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

  • I movie won't import video from my sony xr150.  I can see the video in the window when I connect the camera but when I select import, I get the spinning circle of doom.

    my brand new mac pro wont download movies on imovie.  I connect my sony XR150 and I can see the clips in the imovie window but when I select import, I get the spinning circle of doom.  Very disappointing.  I just moved from a PC because Mac's were supposed to be much better handling media.

    If Image Capture can recognize your camera and allow you to upload the stills and videos to a folder on the Desktop that's what I would do.  Then you can import those files into iPhoto, FCP or iMovie as you want.
