  • Sites Web regularly not approved since refreshing Firefox. I deleted cert8.db; time settings are fine, but still does not work. What should do?

    First had error message saying that something prevents update with the Firefox Firefox refresh query. So I did. Result is common Web sites such as google and own sites of mozilla not opening not because "Untrusted connection" - (error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer).
    I am working on Mac OS X 10.10.2
    Has deleted the cert8.db in folder profile a couple of times, but does not work.
    Time settings are fine.
    Removed the whole browser app and reinstalled again; same problem occurring. What is going on? And above all, how can it be fixed?

    Ah, you see AVAST there under the issuer of certificate?

    Your Avast security software is intercepting your navigation to filter threats. In order to filter connections secure, Avast creates these false certificates and presents them to your browser. Since Firefox uses a certificate from Safari, Firefox should be set up to trust in Avast to generate these certificates.

    Now... in theory, Avast is supposed to update Firefox automatically when you go outside and start it again. I guess you left Firefox since this problem started, but, if not, that give a try.

    If this does not work, you or a volunteer will have to search the steps to get the Avast signing certificate in Firefox.

    Plan C would be to get the old file cert8.db file old data of Firefox on your desktop and it transplanted into your current Firefox profile. You must already have been put in place to work with Avast.

  • 25.0A1 Nightly of Firefox (on Linux) - proxy (SOCKS) does not work

    Hello

    I am using SSH tunnels to create a SOCKS proxy. When I used Firefox 23 it works fine, when I use a recent version of every night, don't worry. I use an add-on of FoxyProxy normally, but I tried to turn it off completely and use the proxy settings internal (SOCKS, localhost, 6789) then it does not work either.

    I understand, you may need more detailed information, but please specify what information you require.

    Thanks for your help

    I'm really sorry, I have some additional info

    I tried to run every night in safe mode and manually set the SOCKS proxy and it works as assumed.

    In this case, it might be a problem with the addon code

  • Why not Firefox 4.0 back button does not work since the homepage or google search?

    I've just upgraded to firefox 4.0 tonight, and the back button is not working properly of my homepage or certain types of google searches.

    I can reproduce this problem every time by following these steps:

    (1) open a new tab, and I get a blank page.
    (2) select the Home button. I find myself at http://www.google.com/ig
    (3) go to the address bar type in a new URI, and press return

    Now, I leave my home page and go to the new page, but I can't go back to my home page.

    Similar behavior happens if I do a search on google for the address of quick search in the upper right.

    (1) start a new tab.
    (2) enter a search term and press enter
    3) click on one of the links to research and you transition to the new page, but the back button does not work.

    It works fine if I do something like:
    (1) open a new tab.
    (2) enter google.com in the address bar and press to enter.
    (3) do a GOOGLES search arae.
    4) click a search result link.

    This works very well for me.

    In my case, I turn off the Add McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.3.1 and the problem goes away.

  • When a link to open another application and firefox is closed, Firefox opens but the link does not work

    I use Firefox on Mac OS 10.9.2, 29, this problem has occurred on the OS 10.8 ~ and various other versions of FF. I use 29 simply because I like it!

    The problem: Firefox is configured as the default browser in all directions it is possible to set as the default value. However, when I click on a URL from any application and Firefox is closed, Firefox opens opens, my last session of navigation tabs start, but the link does not open. I must return to the application and click the link again. This only happens on Firefox. I can put any other default browser and it will open the link in a closed state.

    This is happening to me, same, on Mac OS X 10.6.8 but only since I've upgraded to the latest version of Firefox, 32.0.1. I can click on a HTTP link in another application and Firefox becomes the active application, but it will not load a new tab for the link, as expected. Instead, it just sits there. I have to go back to the other application and click on the link a second time, during which point Firefox correctly open a new tab and load the destination URL.

  • I downloaded firefox and the application I needed to still does not work?

    I am apply for med school on a laptop HP with Windows. When I accessed the application he said I couldn't do it with Windows - I had to download firefox I was thinkI. Still can not fill the application on my HP. Apple and he got my wife works very well. No idea what I am doing wrong?

    I think that you have adware or other bad software on your system.
    While some web sites may ask you to use their program comm,
    the site on what you should be not tell you what program to
    use. In addition, the message included a link to Firefox? Has been the
    Download Mozilla? If this isn't the case, you can have a bad version.
    What is the web address you are having issues with that? Is the FF
    program that you have Mozilla? Have you tried Windows
    Internet Explorer anyway?

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.
