• Cannot open a particular Web site

  Have a problem with a particular Web site. Lasts up to 7 minutes to open and then it's just a barebones, i.e., not graphics html page and the links do not work. I just installed IE11, but this situation also occurs in IE9. This problem also occurs in Firefox. The problem does not occur on my laptop or Tablet Android.

  I ran CCleaner, Malwarebytes, Spybot and AVG Pro. Find anything untowards.

  PC is under Win 7 HP, 32-bit. Laptop on Win 7 HP, 64 bit. Only the problem is passed for the last few days.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  What is the site? Do you have a safe surfing program installed? Your AntiVirus can block all or part of the page. This page did show normally before?

  Let me know and I might be able to help.

  Mithrandir

  Hi Mithrandir.

  Thanks for your reply. After a process of elimination and 4 days, I have the problem sorted. It seems that it was a problem of AVG firewall. After entering IP address of the domain name, saa.co.uk and economy. restart and entered the address and Hey Presto! Back to normal - once every 5 days, I hope. Hate when I can't fix a PC!

  Again, thank you for your interest.

• Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.

  Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.

  If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error will not occur.

  For me, the problem was the FoxClock extension. Once I disabled it, the problem was gone.

  Hope this helps.

• Scroll only works in particular Web site with MS 5000 wireless comfort Office

  I bought MS Office Wireless comfort 5000 and the scroll wheel works very well in many programs but when I visit my bank online the scroll wheel only works scroll down. No matter which way I scrolling only scrolls. I have to use the side scroll bar sites and mouse pointer to get the page up again. Called the rep and she said try a different mouse. So I tried a logitech wireless I had before sunset the office and it works fine on my site of banks. Why this office defines only scroll the mouse down on a particular Web site? No idea before I return it a purchase a logitech set?

  I also work with specific programs box filled and downloaded the latest driver just today.

  The site is not running in any browser is a stand alone I think javascript type of site, but what intrigues me is the logitech mouse works fine in the site and not by the MS 5000 mouse.

  Hello MS moderators.

  This issue clarified itself with the two latest updates for Vista and I'm happy to announce that the mouse now works correctly. In the excitement, I forgot to mention that when I got to the office as a whole, the mouse was working ok, it scrolls up and down like a champion. Something needs to happen with a Vista update just before the question because I think remember me that he updated and then I noticed the problem. I'll keep the office install now and make sure that when I noticed something like this again after an update using see and system restore if that works. I tried everything that was suggested but saw only one so that it appears as a simple solution, right?

• Why I see "upgrade your browser" messages on Web sites when I have the latest Firefox?

  Installed on the computer of my mother who has the latest version of FireFox (I did that) it shows constantly posts on various sites like GMail the browser is obsolete and must be upgraded. As you can probably guess these messages mean almost nothing at all, except to the warn you that the site may not work, but they get boring every day when you cannot move to a version of FireFox that will come out in the literal future. What intrigues me is that I'm on a computer right now that uses FireFox 4.2 and I do not see these messages anywhere, but I saw them on his computer. I could just install Aurora, but which can confuse his...

  Could check you the Firefox user agent string? This article explains how reset it is not blocked in the past: sites say that Firefox is obsolete or incompatible, even if it's the latest version.

  Firefox 17.0.1 also reverses a change in Firefox 17.0 confused some Web sites (it returns the version of Gecko Gecko/20100101 Gecko/17.0), but I don't think that change created widespread problems.

  Edit: Useragent string is listed in help > troubleshooting in the first table information.

• A particular Web Site does not load

  A particular website does not load, and I was previously able to view this site about 2 weeks ago. It's a free WordPress site/blog.

  I keep getting the error message "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." I've tried deleting all cookies and emptying the cache with no success. I also tried a "DNS Flusher" with the same result.
  

  I followed all the recommendations on the link using Firefox and checked the FAQ and community sections with no luck.

  I can view the page in Safari. The owner of the website can view this website using a configuration similar to mine (Mac OS 10.5, Firefox 12.0).

  Nothing I know have changed since I was able to view this site 2 weeks ago for example, I'm not going through a proxy server, nor do I have any secondary security or anti-virus running.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  This Web site does not work with a Firefox 12 user agent.
  13 Firefox works, so it would be best to install Firefox 16 because it is the last version that works on your operating system.

• Cannot play/view content properly on a particular Web site

  I use the website: member.russianaccelerator.com to learn Russian.
  I can play a video, but cannot pause. Audio files give the error: "failed to listen to video because the file is corrupt."
  I think these are flash videos of base but not 100% sure.
  If I try Google Chrome, I can view all content correctly (videos play/pause properly, audio works fine).

  It would be easier to just use Chrome, but I think perhaps to draw attention to this could help improve Firefox somehow.
  I appreciate everyone who has provided aid and support to the community in the past and the present.
  If someone feels up to the challenge, please help me solve this problem. Thank you

• Firefox does not save previous seession Web sites, even if the box is checked.

  I recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I'm having two problems since the upgrade:

  1 Firefox saves more websites that I left 0pen from a previous session even if the box is checked to do. In addition, I am never given the option to 'restore previous session' in the menu background. It is always 'ghost' out and cannot be selected in the menu.

  2. when I open Firefox, I use a shortcut or go to the Web browser in any other way, multiple instances are open automatically. I suspect that the number of instances is the number of tabs that I left open in the previous session, but I'm not sure about this. They all open to a blank page, however and do not open Web sites that have been assigned to each tab in the previous session.

  Thank you for your help.

  You can check if the session restore is activated [1].

  It is possible that there is a problem with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder.

  Delete the sessionstore.js file [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  If you see files sessionstore-# .js with a number in the left part of the name as sessionstore - 1.js then delete those as well.
  
  Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and groups of tabs and all tabs open to get lost, so you will need to create them again (take note or bookmarks).

• Firefox will not connect to any Web site. Chrome and IE work fine.

  I use Firefox as my main browser for years without any problem. A couple of days without reason apparent, is no longer connected to ANY Web site. The tab displays indefinitely 'connection '.... "with the circle of rotation. I can use IE and Chrome without any problem. I rechecked the Options-> advanced-> connection to the proxy settings and tried all options but nothing helped. I also started using the safe and still nothing. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times. I'm on version 42.0

  Surely, there must be a way to debug this to understand.

  I use another firewall, so I don't know how operation windows.
  I called the big players to help you. Good luck.

• Want to stop Firefox to display the thumbnails of Web sites visited previously when click on new tab

There is a reason that I stopped using Chrome ad, now I see that it is a problem with Firefox.

  If you want to disable the thumbnails on the subject: newtab page and then create a new pref Boolean browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled on the topic: config page and set to true.

• Security: Firefox for mobile phishing and fake Web site

  Firefox for Android mobile load the page title on the URL space.

  If a fake site Web put the name of the page as the user of the website address can be confused.

  Suppose that the Bank Web site is www.mybank6567.ext

  The fake site may be fakebank.ext this Web site can have a SSL and the name of the page on mybank65.ext can be the url of the originating bank.

  If the user opens hidden mobile Firefox link can be easily confused.

  Look try to open this URL from Firefox Mobile on Android https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/405 you must be logged on github.com after loading the page, if you see on top, it seems to be on the right site of the Bank, there is the simbol of lockpad, and the address that you read is the address of the Bank. The inexperienced user can be confusing.

  Oh, I'm sorry.
  It is very important issue and I hope that security of Firefox will be fixxed as soon as possible.

  Bad image for Firefox in this issue. Very dangerous.
  So here I end my question.

  Sorry, but I'm not registered in bugzilla and I won't record because I don't want to make my email address public so I hope more people continue to insist on bugzilla for this security problem.
  I stop my discussion here, I alerted on the security issue on Firefox Mobile.
