Firefox does not connect to any Web site, but other browsers will.
When I get something in the URL- google.com, localhost, http://127.0.0.1/ one bar the IP address, there is a fraction of a second flash, then the bar becomes empty and nothing has changed. It seems that Firefox is not even try to connect to the internet.
Yesterday, everything was fine when I was running FF on Windows 7. After the upgrade to Windows Pro 8, Firefox has failed. I've updated for Windows 8.1, hoping for the best, but it's the same problem.
I've walked by the firewall program, several times (the only race is the built-in Windows Firewall). Finally, I uninstalled Firefox, including all my settings, custom and reinstalled from scratch, twice. And even this version pure and clean Firefox does not connect to the internet.
I am a computer web developer and would be happy to look at the log files or run a tool (Fiddler?) to see what happens at a low level, if I only knew where to look.
john99, thanks for the links. I went through all (again), one by one. The last link kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic showed me what helped. I've renamed "firefox.exe" to "firefox1.exe" and was able to use firefox.
It made me suspect the firewall or malicious software. I ran a Malwarebytes full scan, zero problems detected. I have pored on the entries of windows firewall, the "Windows Firewall with advanced security" view and also the simple control panel view. The only mention of Firefox is that I continue to add and remove to allow firefox through.
Here I knew what was going on, but for now, I can at least use firefox. How frustrating!

My PC is connected to internet, but Firefox does not connect on the web
For the last two days, I could not connect to any web site through Firefox. I tried various 'solutions' that seemed logical, but nothing has worked.
My understanding of my computer / in feneral is limited so excuse me if this explanation seems too long or detailed. I do not know what information might be relevant, so I will write everything down.
First: my wifi is definitely work, because my phone connects through to this. My PC is certainly connected to the internet that I am able to send and receive mail via Outlook, and I downloaded an album via iTunes.
Other programs are running too thin.I tried to restart my computer.
I deleted my cookies etc (just in case).
I ran my anti-virus
I turned off my Windows Firewall
I re-set my FirefoxNone of this has worked. My next thought is to uninstall Firefox and re - install it... except that I don't have another browser on my PC. I used to have Chrome on my PC, but it seems to have disappeared during certain windows recent update 8.
A friend sent me an installer of Chrome, but it did not work - and in any case, I want only Chrome so I can re - download Firefox... getting Chrome is not the solution for me!
I THINK that Firefox no longer works after that my PC installed updates on a regular basis. By that I mean that a few days earlier, when I went to close my laptop, my only options were "install update and restart" or "install update and close.
I use Windows 8.1. I feel like the updates must have been the problem, because the moment seems to coincide. I really need to be able to access the web then please please help! Thank you

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.Type of topic: preferences #advanced< enter > in the address bar.
Under Advanced, select network.
Search for configure how Firefox connects and then press the settings button.
If you use a proxy server, make sure that these settings are correct. If there is no
proxy, first use No. Proxy. If there is a problem, then try Proxy system. -

Update to Firefox 8, falls down and does not connect to a Web site, what do I do?
Before I updated, I could open, load a website quickly and we were on our way. However, I opened it and most of the time it HANGS after that click on a bookmark or type a site.
Even when it does not crash, it does not load a Web site. I try another browser and load very well the network Web site is NOT the issue.
I uninstalled the new Firefox 8 and returned to 7.0. I'm happy for the moment, but this problem is worrisome.

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).See:

New firefox does not indicate that a Web site is safe to go ahead
Previous sessions of Firefox took a long time to start. I then installed a more recent copy. He sees start faster, but I lost some useful parameters.
Fase opening is important we had to indicate that the Web site. He checked his status. Unfortunately I d don't recover this moment and I'm not at home so I should try to open some sites.
Please kindly let me know how to configure this validation.
Thank you

Firefox does not work on some Web sites
I continually run into sites that don't work well with Firefox. I tend to think, because of FF high-speed evolution that he brings to the itself, but nevertheless, it's boring. The sites all say 'use Chrome' as a solution, and most of the time, it works. The thing is, I don't like Chrome. I have FF set in place as I want. It's my browser of choice, despite the fact that he lost for each day of Chrome users. I don't think I'll ever pass, but I really need to work on a regular basis. I'll have to use the portable version now because the desktop version works for me more. After the last update, Flash sites don't load not half the time. They also work in Chrome.
This time, it's redgage.com. Most of the functionality works only if I use the right click and open in a new tab. I tried safe mode.
What is the solution to this? I don't have time to make adjustments to the program and get in here to get the answers and everyone says that they have no problems. SERIOUSLY? This is not what say all my friends who have switched to Chrome. I feel I'm losing my right arm.
Yes, all the links on RedGage are broken. To open in the same tab, you must drag and drop it on the address bar.
But I think it's their fault. In the browser Console:
13:46:52.262 ReferenceError: event is not defined MainViewModel.js
Looks like a rookie mistake in this script:
self.trigger = function (modelView, evt) { var target; util.hidePopup();
if (event.ctrlKey || event.metaKey || event.which == 2) { return true; }
if (evt.preventDefault) { evt.preventDefault(); target = $(evt.target); } else target = $(evt);
var url = target && $(target).closest('a').attr('href') || $('.filter li.active a').attr('href'); if (url) self.do_load_url(url); return false; };
In the bold line, 'event' is a typo and should be "TTE". Maybe if tell you them on this subject they will fix it. Although other browsers work this way.

Just upgraded my DSL to 7 Mbps. I did not notice the problem, if it actually occurred on the slow line. When I launch Firefox 3.6.14 (not Iceweasel) compiled for amd64, it takes about 30 seconds to connect to any website or when I change to a different Web site. Meanwhile, the message in the status bar says "Looking up" {website}. No other browsers available that, nor does my windows machines using IE or Firefox. Help > troubleshooting the dough was too big. I will sent if necessary. Thank you.
Try disabling IPv6.

Yes it's true. You just need to download the .exe file top of page (Firefox Setup 25.0.1.exe).
Save it to your computer, double click and you should get a wizard to guide you through the installation.

I can't change A / V settings because of group policy. This ONLY happens on FF, chrome, not MSIE. Is it possible to work around this problem by changing the settings of FF ONLY?
Local support solved the problem. There is a SSL change inside the firewall, and because the FF is not using the same cert DB than IE and Chrome, it did not have the new certificate that was required. Support it has imported for me and problem is solved. Thanks for your replies
