Why is Firefox constantly trying to direct me to other web site Pogo on line games to be exact.

Fire fox keeps preventing the POGO site of which I am glad and I keep closing the page and it keeps wanting to redirect and Firefox prevents it. This has become a never ending cycle that is driving me nuts.

Firefox has an option to stop and ask permission for certain redirects. You can turn that back off here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"
Does that allow you to get to Pogo normally?
Firefox 23 includes a new feature to block unsecured content (HTTP) in a secure page (HTTPS). In that case, you will see a new "shield" icon to the left of the URL on the address bar. This allows you to reload the page including all of the content, but perhaps that isn't working well on Pogo? The following article has more information on this mixed content blocking feature: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]

  • Why would Firefox not show the latest version of a web site?

    At www.brunswickharley.com, Firefox 3.6.3 (on Windows XP SP3) kept showing an obsolete version of the site. IE showed the latest version. I haven't encountered this before. Is it the web site or Firefox?
    I can't review the site's code because I copied the URL of the page I wanted from IE to Firefox, so now Firefox shows the right page.

    I contacted company, Brunswick Harley, and was told that they knew about the problem. Then I contacted the web site developer, who said Brunswick Harley inserted material in the web site that couldn't be viewed in Firefox.
    Both of them said they were working on the problem. Neither said exactly what it was, but it must have been a feature that only IE supports. So I guess Firefox is off the hook.

  • Firefox displays gmail in huge font but other web sites show it in regular fonts

    when I open gmail in Firefox it has just started coming up in huge fonts so that i can only see part of the screen. When I open gmail in Internet Explorer or AOL, it comes up just fine and I can see the whole screen. How can I restore the Firefox display to normal?

    PERFECT. Many thanks for the prompt response.

  • Why can't I get my mail, I get a message "connection to server failed" but I can get on all other web sites.  It worked fine until about a month ago.

    WHY CAN'T I GET MY MAIL, I GET A MESSAGE 'CONNECTION TO SERVER FAILED" BUT I CAN GET ON ALL OTHER WEB SITES.  IT WORKED FINE UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO.  I CANCELLED MY ACCOUNT, PUT MY INFO IN AGAIN AND STILL GET THE MESSAGE "CONNECTION TO SERVER FAILED"  HELP PLEASE!

    have you tried removing and readding the e-mail account? sometimes settings get corrupted or changed on the server end...something computers can sometimes handle better than the mail interface.

  • Facebook says that firefox does not re cognize other web sites for tagged photos.

    I have firefox and when I get on facebook and use my profile to view photos that I have been tagged in. they do not show up. all comments show, but when I click on view photo, it tells me that firefox does not recognize other web sites and wants me to approve them. this has never happened to me till I updated to this fire fox.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    *Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
    *Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
    Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.<br />
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

  • Since latest Firefox update, other web sites will load but Netflix will not. Netflix will load in Internet Explorer.

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server. Any difference? If not...
    2. Clear Firefox's Cache Completely
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    3. If needed, remove the site's cookies in this dialog
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • My Firefox won't load any websites, but other web browsers will. I have tried following the proxy help to fix this, with no luck. What can I do next?

    Any website I try to visit using Firefox won't load, it just keeps saying that it is unable to connect. I tried other web browsers, and they work no problem. I tried following the proxy steps provided, but did not help.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

    If you use a Firefox 4 beta release then you should create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

  • On the Washington Post website, when I try to click on an article, I get the message, "Invalid URL". I don't have this problem with other Web sites. I recently upgraded to the secure version of Firefox.

    I never had this problem before. I don't know if it's related to now having the secure (HTTPS) version of Firefox. Some WaPo links DO work, but most don't. One other thing: at least once when I Googled "The Washington Post" and clicked on the apparent result, I got a message saying that the certificate was "Not Trusted" and that legitimate Web sites did not ask me to override this issue and proceed to the site. Yet the website I'm trying to use is "www.washingtonpost.com", which I know for a fact is THE Post Website. What's going on, and how can I fix this? Thanks.

  • After starting my computer today and trying to visit and open bookmarked web sites, I cannot open them because I am getting this error message: This web site does not supply identity information. What happened? How do I fix it? Thanks

    Today, when I tried to open web sites in Firefox from my Bookmarks, I could not. I continually received the following error message: This web site does not supply identity information.
    I noticed that when I put the cursor on the box to the left of the address, that message appears. There is also '''no''' https:// before the address.
    Can anyone help correct this problem? I believe sometime last week I may have fiddled with the Secutity settings in the Tools/Security option box and may have screwed up something trying not to have sites use cookies to track me?
    Thanks,
    Bob

  • Why can I reach other web sites but not my own!  w/ Airport Extreme?

    I can get on line and reach other sites via Safari and IE with the connection via Airport Extreme. But I can't reach my own web site!!!
    And my Mac Mail is not useable because it says,
    "Connection Failed: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "[email protected]" or try again. The server error encountered was: The server "pop.patternglass.com" cannot be contacted on port 110."
    Honestly I've tried! Earthlink hosts my web site and they say its working - and it IS for everyone but me! Comcast is my ISP and they had me disconnect my Airport Extreme and connect my computer directly to the modem. Voila! It all works perfectly. Went back to Airport Extreme and same problem.
    There was no 'event' that signaled the change. One minute it was fine last night and the next minute it was gone. Help me, please!

    An answer to another question I had about Mac Mail fixed this problem (I can get to my web site) but I still can't get mail into my Mac Mail Box!
    I still get "Connection failed. There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "[email protected]" or try again.
    The server error encountered was: The server "pop.patternglass.com" cannot be contacted on port 110."

  • Firefox is no longer compatible with Walgreen photo web site - Walgreen says only Internet Explorer will work - will this be fixed?

    I have used Firefox for years but recently I've had instances where Firefox will not work with some web sites. The most recent is Walgreens photo. I spent about an hour being frustrated then called Walgreens. They told me that I had to use Internet Explorer. Sure enough it worked fine. Can Firefox be made compatible with Walgreen's web site?

    Walgreens would need to make their web site compatible with Firefox.

  • How do I get firefox to stop telling me it stopped the web site I am on from opening a new window even though it has gone to the next page I have clicked on?

    This happens even on my banking sites and bill pay sites. The little bar comes down at the top of the page. Gives me the option of allow, when I right click it does not do anything. I have to click the x or allow to make it go away.

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • Trying to sign in on one web site, I get this message: Cancel OpenID

    The web site is for my electric bill. I have to open Safari, and sign in from there. The message I get using Fireox when I put in my user name and password is: Cancel OpenID. The web site is EPB.NET, and they have checked everything on their end and have no suggestions other than it's a browser incompatibility.
    Yes, I've deleted cookies, history, cache and such. Yes, I've disabled all extensions.
    It has been a problem for months.
    Should I just make Safari my default browser?
    Thanks for any effective help!

    You can go back to the release, but need to consider the different options.
    You may either run both versions, but they will need separate profiles. Or you may downgrade to the Release version. It would be relatively easy to copy bookmarks etc
    '''Whatever you do it is worth backing up the current profile first.'''
    * [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    You will want to try to use at least some of those files. Put them somewhere safe outside Firefox profile or program paths. Your Desktop or My Documents would do.
    Also if you only want to retain bookmarks the easiest method without messing with profile files is to use the backup option before you change over.
    * [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_manual-backup]]'''_manual-backup'''
    If you have both versions running with separate profiles it does have the advantage that you can take your time in migrating profile files. Here is the info on running multiple versions and profiles
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions#Installing_multiple_versions
    Incidentally the Firefox version & channel previously known as Aurora and now know as Developer Edition now installs by default as an additional version and installs with its own separate profiles.
    * See [[Firefox keeps crashing at startup#w_try-a-clean-install]]'''_try-a-clean-install'''
    * https://developer.mozilla.org/Firefox/Developer_Edition
    You could simply try installing Firefox 35.x over Firefox beta.
    It will probably work. But issues could occur with the profile. More generally problems will occasionally also occur with program files when downgrading.
    It would be best to do a clean install (explained in article linked above) removing the program files; and also renaming the profile folder. After installing overwrite only some of the files such as places.sqlite
