Why did I lose all internet connectivity with new Mozilla Firefox update?

I recently updated mozilla firefox on my other computer, an ibm thinkpad (windows xp) and since installing, there is no longer any ability to connect to the internet, even with internet explorer. I even tried to do a system restore and this did not work. What can i do to fix this?

When you can not connect after an update, it is usually caused by a firewall blocking the new version of Firefox. Try removing Firefox from the rules list of your Firewall which will force the firewall to create a new rule for Firefox. Also see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

  • Why did I lose all my bookmarks I accumulated on Firefox?

    Firefox is my browser - I accumulated many Bookmarks of websites I frequent often - my PC was not functioning as it should and so I switched browsers to google chrome. When I came back to Firefox later, all my bookmarks were gone -I lost them all, even the links to my email boxes. I am still struggling to find some of them. What to do to prevent this from happening again?

    Did you previously uninstall Firefox and have removed personal data?
    If that is the case then you lost the bookmarks.
    Otherwise you should still have the Firefox profile folder with your personal data.

  • HT1386 why did I lose all my contacts when I installed new 5.1 version???

    Why did I lose all of my contacts when I installed 5.1.1 version on my iphone 4? I did back-up and got everything else back except the contacts???

    What address book or cloud service were you syncing your contacts with before the update? They should still be there.
    Contact information is only part of the backup in order to maintain your favorites and recent calls list. Contacts are meant to be synced to a cloud service or address book.

  • Why did I lose all of my docs in pages?

    why did I lose all of my documents in Pages?

    I'm being "snarky" for asking you to actually provide some information?
    Don't be so self obsessed as to imagine that we are constantly looking over your shoulder at what you are doing.
    All we have to go on is what you choose to tell us. If you choose not to, what do you expect?
    You are not alone in the childish "Mom, I can't find it!?" style questions. It gets wearisome playing 20 questions to just get to the point where you have a comprehendable question.
    We still don't know what version of Pages.
    Saved documents don't live in Pages, they are on your hard drive, on a server or some other device.
    "ALL" your documents is comprehensive. So you have no documents of any description left on your Mac (now that we know it is a Mac) or anywhere else?
    AS Peggy pointed out, if you never saved the document, it is gone.
    We are still struggling to find out what you are talking about.

  • Why did I lose my apps on my iPhone after I update to IOS 6?

    Why did I lose my apps on my iPhone after I update to IOS 6?

    I would guess that it is because you failed to make sure that they were all on your computer before you updated.

  • Why did I lose all my Verizon ring tones after updating to new software?

    Why did. I lose all my Verizon ring tones after updating to new software?  Always worked before, now they are gone!  Contacted Verizon, who could not explain. 

    I was having a similar problem and here's what solved it for me: Under Settings>Notes the default account was changed from iCloud to another account for no apparent reason when I upgraded to iOS 7.  When I changed it back to iCloud, my notes started appearing on all devices again.  You might also want to check the Accounts setting under the Notes app to make sure All Notes is checked to retreive notes from all accounts.  Similarly, Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars has a default account that should match as well.  Good luck.

  • Why did I lose all my bookmarks, settings and add ons in the recent Aurora update?

    When I was using Aurora it happened to crash so I restarted as i normally would when this happens, but when it restarted it was a new version (Firefox Developer Edition) and not a single bookmark, folder, add on etc had remained (not to mention my previous session that had quite a few tabs some trivial but some a bit more important and ALL of my history was gone). When I tried to go to Sync and see if that would restore anything the option to put in my recovery key was nowhere to be found although in the Sync FAQ it mentioned this older way of using sync could still be used. So I made an account with email and password and still could not find a way to sync anything I lost. I searched around the FAQs and could not find a resource to help with my issue.
    I've been a loyal user of Firefox (since 2005) and I will continue to be but this really caught me off guard as even in previous updates I never had an issue like this.
    Any help with what to do would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    hello mmendo18, the firefox aurora release channel has been converted into the firefox developer edition. by default it starts with a freshly created profile. in order to get back to your old data, please refer to [[Recover lost bookmarks on Firefox Developer Edition]]

  • Wifi will not connect with new ios 7 update

    I just downloaded the new ios7 on my ipad mini. I cannot connect to wifi now. It will not find a network and will not work when I type it in. I have tried shuting it down.

    I have tried everything as well.  I hard reset but still nothing.  When I try to erase and reinstall it won't let me because it says no internet connection.  If I knew there would be this many problems I would not have bothered with the update.  Hopefully someone has some insight and help.

  • Why did I lose all of my music when my Ipod synced with my laptop? I have synced it with this laptop several times.

    Most of my songs disappeared. I had 300 some odd songs, and now I only have like 49 songs....I turned my iPod off and unplugged my cord from my laptop and they are still gone. I am so mad right now, because my music is my life. I really need someone to help me please!!

    " i thought that my music was backed up on itunes, even music not purchased on itunes. is this correct? "
    No.  Unless you paid for itunes match service and you uploaded them to this service.

  • Why did I lose all my iPhone contacts while I was writing an email?

    I was simply writing an email on my iPhone 3GS today and as I was entering an email address into the To: field the iPhone suddenly went back to a home page (as in if you were in an app and then pressed the home button).  This has happened before without any apparent damage so I went back to my email.  However, when I went to enter the email address (again) I noticed that this time around it wouldn't offer any suggested email addresses as I was entering the first few characters.
    Now I'm getting a bit nervous.  Just about then my wife called, but instead of seeing the screen show my wife's contact info as the phone rang, I just got the generic phone number view.
    After the call I opened my contacts and they were completely and totally missing.
    I have no idea where they are or why they went AWOL.
    I understand that I can use iTunes to restore them (I synced a couple of days ago - so I don't think I'll lose any/many) and I don't use MobileMe.
    So, my question is what happened to my contacts??  Is there a known bug that that I tripped over to cause my contacts to vanish?  I don't think I did anything odd - but is there something I could've done?
    While I can restore from iTunes I'd rather know why this happened and is there something to prevent it in the future......
    How about it gurus - can anyone help?

    Not sure why, but since contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air such as with an Apple iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail, there is no reason for contacts being lost under any circumstances even if your iPhone were lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.

  • After mandatory update of IPHOTO why did I lose all my photos

    After my harddrive died unexpectedly, apple installed a new harddrive.  As I was reinstalling from my backup drive, I received a message that I could not import my photos if I didn't update ILIFE-IPHOTO.  I followed directions and now have a blank IPHOTO.  My event names show, it indicates there are ex 48 photos, 120 photos, etc in each event, however the images are blank.
    I have contacted IPHOTO support and went thru the procedures that they recommended (option command open iphoto and completed all four steps there, however I remain unable to access my photos (76000)
    As bad gets worse, while attempting these changes, my external drive stopped being recognized by the computer and the computer store I took it to has still not been able to get into the partition.
    So, I sit here after a couple of weeks, frustrated and lost.  Besides not seeing the photos, every time I spend 5 or 10 minutes in the 'new'IPHOTO', it shows and error and shuts down.  I am not impressed.  If there arent any other ways to fix this, then I will delete IPHOTO from my computer and start again with Adobe Photoshop Elements and never touch IPHOTO again. 
    Fortunately, at least 50000 of my photos were backed up on other media so it is not a total loss - just a ton of work!
    Any suggestions before I throw in the towel.

    Frankly, I'm not sure where to go from here as your explanations are not clear to me. Upgrading from v8 to v9 required a purchase. Apple do not require you to buy a new version of the app just to restore from your back up, so I'm not sure what went on there. iPhoto is an element of the iLife suite of applications. It would seem to me that you have damaged backups and some confusion rather than a problem with iPhoto.
    Try the following: I have no idea if it will help but it won't harm...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Why did i lose all of my sync bookmarks on my computer?

    I came back to work on monday and all my bookmarks are gone. Recently synced bookmarks on new computer with old computer. Bookmarks were synced successfully...then i erased everything on old computer. Where are my bookmarks???

    You should have disabled Sync on the old PC before deleting the bookmarks on that old PC.
    You should have a backup on the new PC that can be restored. <br />

  • Can't access all internet pages with new wifi

    I just moved and my apartment complex has free Wifi. I can access most web pages but can't open for example fox.com, abc.com. A message says I am not connected to internet. I have to login to the wifi service and I am recognized. I don't know if it is my computer or wifi. Thanks

    Im willing to bet its the wifi. Reason being is I have had a similar experience with my old wifi router. I would get a dropped connection and i thought it was my macbook and PC. Turned out it was my router and once i upgraded to a Airport Extreme, everything has been fine and i have not had a single dropped connection. If its in an apartment complex, Im willing to guess they have a normal router from wherever its transmitting from and the router cannot handle the load. Perhaps someone is also trying to access the router not knowing passwords and this causes the router to lag and kick people off. Try bringing your computer to a friends house with wifi and try loading the pages there.
    Hope this was a little useful.

  • Experiencing Slow Internet Connections with new Macbook Pro

    I have had the laptop since December and I have had several problems regarding the internet. Just a little background, I have always had pretty fast internet and have never experienced any of these problems with any other computers. My family owns 2 other PC's(ew) and they don't have any problems with internet speed.
    Examples:
    -90% of the time my arrow will not change to the hand when something is clickable
    -downloading songs takes forever, even when they are only 10 megabytes
    -pages wont load even simple ones such as search engines
    The overall feel of my connection is slow and the sites i use are the basic ones which dont require too many flashy things.
    When I reset my modem the internet works better for a little bit but then goes back to its old ways.
    If you guys could give me any tips on the preferences i should have please help

    How are you connected to the internet?
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

  • Why wouldn't Wordpress Dashboard function properly with the latest Firefox update #17?

    My Dashboard for 2 websites have issues when running via Firefox. I get pages which are totally corrupted from what I usually get. What is going wrong with the update?

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
