When I try to go on Firefox an " Unable to Connect" comes up. If I go on Google Chrome I have no problem. Help
I was using Firefox until November. My computer wet in for repair and I have had this issue since. I would like to use firefox again. For some reason every time I try to use it an "Unable to Connect" message comes up.
I have been using Google Chrome to get through school but would perfer Firefox. Please help.
See [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]], a common cause is a firewall blocking Firefox.

Currently running firefox 3.0.4. I downloaded 3.6.28 successfully. When I tried to install it by sliding the firefox icon over onto the applications icon I got a message saying an item named firefox already exists and do I want to replace it with the newer one I am moving. I clicked "replace." Then I get a message saying that the operation cannot be completed because I do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items. How can I complete this install?
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded

I had no problem using a download wizard Java applet to download file to my computer from an SFTP site using Firefox. When I tried to do the same thing with Chrome, I was told to download the latest plugin. Once I did that, I receive the following message when I run the downlaod wizard:
The Java Wizard cannot run.
Please configure your browser to allow Java applets to access the filesystem.
I got the same message using Firefox and Chrome. However, I have no problem using IE to run the same download wizzard. Please help.If the problem is with a site that is hosted using MOVEit DMZ by Ipswitch, please notify the site owner of the issue and ask them to apply the patch that is available on the support site to resolve the issue.
This is a better resolution than downgrading your version of Java that was updated due to security issues. -
Basically whenever I watch a video and I exit out of the video I have to restart my computer to get Firefox back open. If I exit out or go to a new page while the video is playing, the audio continues like nothing has happened. I've checked my task manager and it shows that Firefox is closed. When I try to re-open Firefox I get an error message that tells me Firefox is running but is unresponsive and I have to restart my computer. How do I get it to stop doing this?
Try holding control, alt and delete down in succession and then a dialogue box will appear with windows task manager. Once open click on the Processes Tab and look for firefox.exe. Highlight this and then click end process. It should come up with a warning but just click Yes. This should then close firefox and allow you to reopen it from your desktop without shutting down your computer. Hope this helps.

I am getting the following error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to firefox home. I uninstalled add-ons , uninstalled Firefox and then installed a fresh version. Still have the problem.
Thanks for the helpThat issue can be caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation (multiple versions can be installed side-by-side; SxS) that is missing some runtime components (Redistributable Packages) that Firefox depends on (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).
You need to install the missing components (e.g. VisualC++ 2005 Redistrbutable).

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

(solved) When I try to use IE, Firefox opens and finds the site instead. How do I stop it?
When I try to use IE, Firefox starts up and takes the address from IE and opens it in Firefox. I need to use both browsers. How do I stop this?
I imagine you have Firefox set as the default browser. Unset that in firefox
* Tools -> Options -> |Advanced| -> |General| -> system ... <br/>and uncheck the option to always check that Firefox is the default browser
* now open IE and use IE's settings to set that as the default browser
Now if for instance you open an internet link, or a HTML file on your Windows XP desktop they should open in IE
Post back with how you get on. -
When I try to bring up Firefox MSN comes up. I can only run Googlemail in HTML. All this happened after I did a Sony VIAO update.
Perhaps the PLUGIN Update feature needs to be engaged to assure that both Java and Shockwave editions are current. It requires 'Help' > 'Firefox Help' > where the lower right side displays a link for Plug-In Update...

I have a problem when opening a profile on Facebook. when I open the main page and facebook all ok but when I try to open your Firefox profile my block! what the problem ????? before me it was happening but now when I installed Firefox 4
WiFi signals get stronger the closer the machine is to the router and the less interference/blocking of the signal like via walls with metal in them or of thick concrete.
Since the signal emanates outwards in a sphere, your supposed to place the wireless router in a central location in the building so it covers all areas.
The power of the router also has a affect, if your router is old or something not that powerful like a Airport Express, it doesn't have the ability to filter out other signals or enough punch to get through walls etc. or cover a large area as effectively.
If you buy/have a powerful router of newer make and have issues where there is metal in the walls or thick concrete, then you can buy something like OpenMesh and by using Ethernet cables from the back of the router, extend the WiFi signal into other rooms and areas past the blockage.

I have downloaded Firefox 3.6.13 on my new MacBook Pro. When I try to move the Firefox icon to the Applications folder as instructed I get a message that says I can't do this because I don't have permissions to access some parts. I am the administrator and the only one who uses the computer. The box in system preferences that allows me to administer the computer is checked.

When i try to go to a web site a box comes up saying proxy server refusing connections
when i try to go to a web site a box comes up saying proxy server refusing connections and i can't get on any web page
In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
