OMG! After all this... once I uninstalled McAfee it works fine. I try a reinstall of McAfee as we 'talk' to see if it they will be all OK. If there is a problem, I'll repost. If not... think about it well closed. And thank you VERY VERY much for all your help. Pete

  • I get error messages when I try to visit some Web sites you use Mozilla Firefox, but not when I use other browsers

    About two days ago, I noticed that when I tried to access some websites using Firefox, I always got this error message. "The connection was reset". Initially, I thought it was a problem with my ISP before noticing that the network was fine on my phone and the iPad. I tried and then open the same links which brought up the error message on the TorBrowser and it worked perfectly.

    Basically, the only site that works right now on my Firefox browser is Google but if I do a Google search and then click on any link that appears so I get the same error message, "the connection was reset". I can also connect to my gmail account, but I can't access any other Web site including Feedly, Tumblr, Twitter, Yahoo, Wordpress, Blogspot, even though they work fine on my other browser.

    I have cleared my cache and cookies, wiped out all browsing history, but the problem persists then I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox and reinstalled. The problem is still there. I checked the proxy settings, I went through all the solutions on this page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can?esab=a & as = aaq and still nothing. I'm not sure what the problem is here, but any solution will be appreciated. I have used Firefox for years and I'm really not comfortable using a different browser.

  • I installed 8.0.1 and when I try to bookmark a page, Firefox will not save the bookmark. Do not import or restore either.

    I downloaded Firefox to reinstall. After installation, I opened a web page and tried to bookmark. Firefox opens a small format that I am to fill, provide a name and other information for the bookmark. I filled out the form and click 'done '. The form disappears. If I click on "Bookmarks" in the menu, I can't see not all bookmarks. a few commands for "show all bookmarks, bookmark this page, bookmarks bar and bookmarks-not sorted." View all bookmarks opens a window of the library. It is empty. None of the functions (Import, restore, etc.) anything, but no error is thrown. Displays bookmarks bar a side pop-out menu with 'Empty' written in it. Unsorted Bookmarks empty library is displayed again. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times, cleaned the registry, etc. and it continues to refuse to bookmark the pages. But seems that Firefox KNOWS that the page is bookmarked. The URL will pop up as I start to type in the address field.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • From 50.0, Firefox will not load the tabs. How can I treat?

    Recently (very probably coinciding with the 50.0 update), Firefox suddenly stopped loading tabs. All the pages get stuck on 'connection '.... "as well as system as topic tabs: support and about: config. Google.com and other Web sites and locations internal intranet do not load.

    The first tab that opens at the start of Firefox will sit on a white page indefinitely, not to load the page speed dial 'shortcut '. Not even the tabs system such as topic: support load. If a second tab is open, and the first tab is closed, then the tabs system become available, but websites will always be blocked to 'connection '.... »

    This troubling behavior began to appear in dozens of jobs in our Organization. On each of them, except one (so far), we were able to resolve by obtaining: support to load using the method described above and refreshing of Firefox, which leads me to believe there is some sort of problem with the profile.

    On a desktop, Firefox seems to work after a refresh, but after an instance of Firefox is closed and a new opening, the new question asserts itself. When you open Firefox under a new user profile, it works once before breaking. On this particular station, I tried uninstall Firefox and reinsert several times without success, as well as facility nightly, which presents the same exact issues as the regular version. I'm stumped on how to solve this problem for the end user. I even tried to run CCleaner.

    Any ideas?

    Hi HaggenIT, can you please try the following and see if it works: enter Subject: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) & search for the preference named browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2. Double-click it and change its value to false.

  • When I use Firefox to display Oracle WebLogic EM, Firefox will not display the scroll bar on some pages. But Google Chrome.

    It is a problem specific to Oracle Web Logic EM.

    In our society, we use the logical Web as a basis for the application server.

    In the EM logic web server, users can use a Web Logic EM (EM is a portal to view processes on Web Logic application) to verify the data.

    I found when I use EM to check online XML, sometimes the page does not appear the scroll bar.

    If I use Google Chrome or Opera, and do the same thing, the page will display scroll bar.

    But I need Firefox because it is my main browser.

  • New Firefox, will not save the homepage and will open and display all add-ons every time!

    Okay - years old now, I used Firefox ONLY - he had the best extensions and modules from any other browser out there. Add to that, it is safe and very fast. This is my default browser.

    This week I logged on my DeviantArt site and odd ads began to appear in the lower corners left and right of the browser, unlike what I'd never seen before. Add to that, they were very inappropriate. So I guess something was wrong and went through three, as in 3, programs to find out if I got "bugs" the origin of the problems. And of course, there was a kind of nasty bug in Firefox, causing all sorts of questions.

    So, following the suggestions to fix, as well as the suggestions on here, I uninstalled Firefox (21) and then reinstalled the new version, 23. At first, I thought, ' Wow, this is really very fast! When I opened Firefox it does not go to my home page, he went to the Firefox start page, as well as the opening of the tabs for EACH add-on and extension!

    Yes, open tools, Options and reset the home page of my homepage, https://www.google.com

    Simple and something I've done before. I'm a geek and have worked on my own additions. Set up my home page, has been working in Firefox and went to youtube to download a video it would not! So went to DLhelper, read their comments, changed one of the strings and voila! No problems!

    So I thought it was fixed and I was happy. It was last night. This morning, I start the computer and the first thing we do is to open Firefox. And what happens? Oh, Yes, that's right, NOTHING THAT I wanted TO! It's back to the start page of Firefox, and it opens tabs for EACH SINGLE module!

    Holy carp, tired now. So I research of 8 this morning until about an hour ago, so a little more than 5 hours, that I keep trying to fix it based on instructions of Firefox. Go to topic: config, work on channels, change the info from the home page, etc. Save it. Return to tools, Options, and there is my home page. Close Firefox and open and what the heck? Once again, back to where it was, opening, as if I just downloaded this browser. Now, I spent literally HOURS trying to solve this problem and I am so frustrated that I'm almost ready to uninstall it! My one complaint is that I've looked everywhere to try to find this same problem and it does not. Is true, I am the only one having this weird problem?

    You can reset firefox?

  • I am trying to sign a certificate (using Mac) and Firefox will not accept the password.

    The certificate is used to authenticate my identity.

    He rejects every time - turn the box a certificate with password space empty. I've seen a few questions about certificate issues in Firefox there a few months they will be solved? Any ideas of a workaround in the meantime?

    Hello
    I had the same problem, and I read somewhere that, according to a mozilla knowledge base article, the password is a requirement for import certificates (although the corresponding KB page is now unavailable)

    I tried the following and it worked for me:
    -certificates of export on the desktop
    -remove the certificates in firefox
    -set a master password on firefox (preferences - security - using the master password)
    -import certificates

    You should now be able to sign.
    Hope this helps

  • New device of U2 vCenter 5.5 will not access the network

    Hello

    I just installed a new 5.5 ESXi host and on that I deployed the OVF of the original version of vCenter 5.5.  It worked, but I wanted to try the new vCenter 5.5 U2.  So, I deleted the old device of my ESXi host and deployed the OVF of Unit 5.5U2 vCenter.

    As a first step, this unit could not get a DHCP address (was the old server to the device).  I connected and run/opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_config_net and set up my gateway, IP address, host name and the DNS servers.  After you apply the configuration, I was unable to ping the new vCenter device.  A reboot didn't help.  In addition, the shell, I am unable to ping my local gateway.

    Where to resume the troubleshooting?  I did other changes to the device when it was deployed.

    Something really strange is passed to the physical card on the ESXi host - I noticed that my test Server 2003 guest was not either the ping requests.  Restart the host did not help.

    On vSwitch0, I have changed the NIC to 1000/full, had a mistake, changed to automatic, and then things trading as magically started working.
