When opening new page, an extra window says "problem loading page"

Opening the Firefox browser causes a second tab at the bottom to pop up that reads "problem loading page"...the pages I want to view open up fine, on all websites, I just get an extra annoying tab with that message...if I click on that tab, a small window pops up in the upper left hand corner of the screen that has the error message. I am using FF 3.6. This just started happening recently...possibly after my las FF upgrade.

  • Firefox can't load websites but my Windows Explorer can. It was working before but now whenever I try to load a page it says "Problem loading page". What can I do to get Firefox to work?

    Whenever I try to go on a website, Firefox says "Problem loading page." It won't load any pages. I tried uninstalling and re-installing but it still says and does the same thing.

    JackieMars71 I would recommend reviewing your installation log files to determine if there are any errors during the installation process.  You can find information on how to locate and interpret your installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

  • Video images won't load, error message says "problem loading page/server not found

    when i select videos to watch, they have symbol in the top left hand corner but blank everywhere else. if i right click on the symbol i get an error message "problem loading page/server not found" but i'm already logged in to the website. this just started happening today after having watched 100's of videos for years on the same sites. i haven't changed any settings that i know of, but i have tried several different troubleshooting tips but nothing helps. i have windows xp. and i use firefox exclusively. what can i do?

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Why do I have multiple tabs that say " problem loading page" when I didn't open the tabs myself?

    the browser is keeping three tabs open with that error message on it. I can't close them they just keep coming back. This is irritating.

    Do you mean the tabs re-appear any time you open a new window (for example, by pressing Ctrl+n)?
    That can be caused by having a vertical bar character (|) in your home page address. Firefox treats it as a separator and tries to load what's in between as the address of individual home tabs. To check that and edit it, these articles may help:
    * [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    * [[How to set the home page]]
    If the tabs re-open themselves ''in the same window'', it sounds like a bad add-on or possibly external malware.
    Here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning up sketchy toolbars and other bad add-ons:
    (1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    (2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
    In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    (3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
    Success?

    I can well imagine that they are.
    I would backup, restore to factory settings, restore from the backup and then try again. If that fails, restore again but do not use the backup - restore as new. If the iPad functions OK as new, then slowly rebuild the iPad adding your apps, music etc, methodically to see if you can pin down what might be causing the problem.
    if all of that fails, it's time to schedule an appointment at an Apple a Store (must be done online) and have them take a look, or of it is lees than two weeks old, just return it for a refund and buy another one.

  • Foxfire is running real slow and and any search I do it says problem loading page.

    when I get on internet it is real, real slow. but it does pull up aol.com my homepage. but then when i try to search even websites i visit regularly it says there is a problem loading the page.

    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.

  • Firefox will not load any websites, continues to say "Problem Loading Page". However I have a full internet connection and Internet Explorer works.

    I also tried to uninstall and reinstall multiple times and Firefox will still not load pages.

  • It doesn't open new tabs or windows when I click on then. it gives a problem loading page quite a bit, what's wrong?

    When i open it it takes a long time to open, when I go to mail, or other places. it opens a Server not found
    Firefox can't find the server at us.mg5.mail.yahoo.com
    Check the address for typing errors such as
    ww.example.com instead of
    www.example.com
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    All this when I click on a button or do a search in Fire Fox.
    It seems like I have to play with it to open anything.
    I went back to the normal Fire Fox and it's still happening.
    I sometimes have to restart my computer to get the buttons in the mail to show up or Face Book to work right.

    <u>'''Safe Mode'''</u>
    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes <u>'''before'''</u> starting Safe Mode.

    Have you tried resetting all tools?

  • When I open news or other sites in tabs, I get "Problem loading page" errors on all tabs that I attempted to open.

    I just upgraded to Firefox 20.0 as you "suggested" and now whenever I try to open a new site in a new tab, I get the error "Problem loading page". However, if I open them in new windows, they come up just fine. What have you done to a reasonably running browser?

    I can't think of any reason for a new window to load well but not a new tab. It could be the second try effect. Firefox sometimes seems to give up on a site instantly, but if you reload, everything is fine. Could you try a reload in the same tab the next time and see whether that works? Not that it's a good workaround, but just to get a better idea of what's happening.

  • Problem loading page in new Tab

    When I click to new tab button I get a 'problem loading page' notice. Instead of showing me my most recent visited pages ect. the screen says that 'the address isn't valid'. How can I get back my list of thumbnails?

    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).
