Firefox is hitting my firewall on port 80. Which tries to access the gateway/firewall?
Linux firewall. When I launch firefox, I get loc2fw newspapers to dismiss on port 80. Is this a normal behavior? This should normally be associated with a virus tries to access a standard router. After the installation of a clean system, I still get these hits on my firewall. I used mozbackup to copy a few settings more from another machine.
Last note: this Post of MozillaZine indicates that noscript uses secure.informaction.com to determine the WAN IP address, and that the behavior can be disabled.

Looks like your current profile does not work correctly.
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See basic troubleshooting: make a new profile:If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

I use firefox and tried to access the list of favorites. no luck?
Have always used Yahoo mail, but had to change browser for firefox as yahoo is no longer supported my IE9 for yahoo mail. I want to continue with email from yahoo that I like. Now I can get email yahoo thanks to firefox, which is great. I want to access the list of the favourites in the firefox toolbar, but not luck.
Can someone advise please.
MaryHello
This should be simple enough to change;
- Press Alt and clear view.
- In this menu, select Toolbars, followed by the bookmarks toolbar.
You can then the user details in this article to help manage your bookmarks. Everything that you put in the folder "Personal bar" should appear along the toolbar in Firefox for easy access when browsing the web.
I hope this helps, but if not please come back here and we can look at another solution for you.

I recently format my computer and reinstall windows 7, since it was the only way I know of to solve the problem with Firefox (I already had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it. This version was super fast. But becomes slow and unresponsive when I tried to install the Add-ons. I visited the official site of firefox and searching for addons, when I tried to install addons, Firefox crashed. Therefore, it has becomes quite slow and cannot restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, it takes more than 5 minutes and reacts more frequently (after typing each letter).
I want to know if this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable".Hey there,
We are sorry to hear that Firefox crashes. To better help you, please follow the steps below to provide us with crash IDs to help us learn more about your accident.
- Enter Subject: hangs in the Firefox address bar and press ENTER. A list of submitted Crash reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
- Copy the 5 most recent report ID begins with bp - and then back to your forum question but that stick in the box of "Post a response. (Please do not take a screenshot of your plant, just copy and paste the ID image below is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)
Once you have done so, you could try the Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
- In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
- On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
(you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
I hope this helps!

Hello everyone, newbie here with a weird problem. Looooong time FF user and could care less about IE or Chrome. I recently did a backup of my Acer Aspire One with Win7 Starter user, as I have before, to an external and everything seemed fine except when I tried to launch FF, I received a message that the shortcut can not locate "firefox.exe", I want to remove the shortcut? WTH? So I try the search of the entire computer for him and of course he went. So I try to reinstall FF with an .exe from a previous installation of upgrade and even though she acted as if it might work, but then I got the message "interrupted installation". Bleerg.
OK, so I opened IE11 here to download a new copy from scratch. IE seems to find the download page of Mozilla very well, but it displays a blank window. I see some elements of the download page, but not the necessary parts, which are visible on IE on my Toshiba (which I did to see what missed me). I tried the same thing with Chrome, just in case IE has, um, ignorant of Mozilla. No, same issue with her.
So now I run CCleaner Registry Cleaner to see what might appear and this is there are a handful of questions firefox.exe. As I am on my Toshiba to ask for help, I have to manually type in what I show on my Acer:

Just before running CCleaner, I did all Windows Updates pending with the exception of one published this week. I always wait a month. I have fixed all issues selected.
But what I saw was everything about IE11.
I uninstalled I could FF but I still have the Service of Maintenance of Mozilla installed 29.0.1, if this is of any help to him who can give me help.
I briefly considered emailing Setup files to myself so I can open gmail via IE11 to see if I could sneak this way FF, but I think that gmail does not .exe attachments.
Any help brain big FF and FF community members big brained will be highly appreciated.

Uninstall the Firefox on your computer {web link}
DO NOT REMOVE your profiles.
After that, restart the computer. Do a registry scan / repair.http://www.mattsilverman.com/2009/06/how-to-download-Firefox-without-a-Web-browser.html

Cannot display profile pictures of friends and me, instead, Firefox displays only the names, fewer photos. I need to have the images released so that they can appear on my page. Kindly help. bold text
Is he missing pictures then make sure you are not block images from certain domains (sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net).
- Check the permissions for the domain in the active tab in "tools > Page Info > Permissions.
- Check that the images are enabled: Tools > Options > content: [X] loading images automatically
- Check exceptions in "tools > Options > content: Load Images > Exceptions.
- See the tab "tools > Page Info > media ' for blocked images (scroll all the images with the cursor key).
If an image in the list is grayed out and there is a check mark in the box "block Images of..." and remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.
There are also extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) and security software (firewall, antivirus) that can block images.

Access the interface user Web de VMware Server 2 will crash Firefox 3.5
Hello
Trying to access the web interface installation of VMware Server 2 running on Enterprise Linux 5 update 2 64-bit
using Mozilla Firefox 3.5 on XP causes Firefox to crash.
Previous Firefox 3.0.11 version was able to connect and log in successfully.
Everything in FF 3.5 cach has been deleted before trying to access the user interface. In addition, the certificate has also been removed before.
When you access the UI first with 3.5 ist ask to accept the certificate (identical to 3.0.11)
This will result in a blank page is displayed.
Closing FF 3.5 (clear cache included) and re-open it at the interface of the web UI that causes FF crash.
I m the only one to see this problem with the new Firefox 3.5 access to VMware Server 2 Web UI?
Kind regards
Agent of
Although VMware-server - 2.0.1 - 156745.x86_64 has been out for a while, so I just assumed it was your version.
Silly me
Hope that cure your problem.

Last Firefox update turns off my USB2 ports.
My laptop worked fine, but then I hit a problem because my USB2 ports won't work; My USB3 ports was working but not 2.
I tied everything back to the 16 June when I installed the latest Microsoft and Intel Graphics update. Right now I've also updated Firefox to the latest version.
I couldn't solve the USB2 problem so did a restore of the system around June 12 and everything worked fine. I put the USB2 problem down to the Intel updated and reloaded all Microsoft patches and everything worked fine. Then I upgraded to Firefox and restart my USB2 ports do not work. A few minutes ago, I completely uninstalled Firefox, restarted the laptop and the USB ports are working fine again.
I guess that the last Firefox creates a conflict somewhere but where so I was wondering if someone might be able to help the goodness.
My system is running Windows 8.1 64-bit and I loaded Kaspersky Internet Security. As I said, everything was going fine until I updated Firefox with the latest patch. With no Firefox, now I had to Windows 11 as default.
Thank you.
Steve
Thanks for the suggestions - tried all that and v30 still knocks my USB2 ports.
I read on the Internet about other users lose their mouse touchpad once v30 has been installed, so I guess that Firefox is somehow contradictory in a way with particular laptops; mine being one of them.
In the end I found a link that allows me to install v29.0.1 and after having turned off the automatic updates, all is well again. I think I'll try an update again once us get around to v32, but in the meantime, I'm happy to stay with v29.0.1.

Generally if an image on a page can not be found, Firefox does not redirect the entire page with an error message. the area of the image is just left in white. If this is not normal.
On the error page, what do you see in the address bar, if anything?
To check if one of your extensions could be the culprit, could test some pages from Firefox Safe Mode problem? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
- Help menu > restart with disabled modules
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works
After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).
Any difference?

Windows XP, Service Pack 3, all latest updates made. Scanned for viruses and malware, ran CCleaner. Defragmented HD reset Firefox, uninstalled firefox & reinstalled. The only thing I didn't do is throw my user profile. I exported my bookmarks to an HTML file, so I can restore. Which will work?
It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission get full and unrestricted, access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
See:
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.
