I uninstalled an add-on, but it continues to reset my Manual proxy settings whenever I run, causing firefox to not connect to internet.

I recently installed an add-on (ZenMate) which subsequently I uninstalled because it's buggy. I never open it.

It is supported my proxy settings. When I launch FF, it now says "The Proxy Server is refusing relationship» I go into my network settings and notice that he selected the automatic configuration of the proxy, with a link to some zenmate garbage. So I reset it to no proxy and voila! Problem solved. Except that this isn't the case. Out of FF, and then run again, it restores every time of automatic proxy garbage.

Can someone please help?

Thank you!

Could check you something: just before the release of Firefox, make a backup copy of the file prefs.js, which must have the own proxy setting ('no proxy'). Then we will compare after his stop.

Here's how:

Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

Scroll down the list and create a copy of prefs.js as follows: click right prefs.js > copy and then immediately right-click in an empty area of the margin > paste. In a few moments, prefs - Copy.js must appear in your profile folder.

Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then repeat them process previous and windows should create a second copy. Right-click the second copy > Edition and Windows should start the file in Notepad. This can take some time if you have accumulated a lot of custom settings. If you are looking for proxy.type is that he always set to No proxy as it is during your session:

user_pref("network.proxy.type", 0);

If it has been changed:

  • Change it to 0, as shown in the previous line and save the file.
  • Launch Firefox back up again and see if it works.

If it still shows 0:

Before starting Firefox, confirm that this user.js has been recreated in this folder.

  • 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!

  • iPhone connects to the wifi but does not connect to internet

    I have an iPhone running iOS 9.3.2 6s (last updated).

    The phone connects to the wifi network, but even if it's to show the signal strength is good, the phone does not charge any internet content (weather, FaceBook, email, etc.).  If I disconnect WiFi and use the data, it works very well.  We have no problem connecting to the computer or a smart TV network wifi and internet connection.

    This also happens with my daughter 5s iPhone and iPad for my son.

    Sometimes it will work fine on wifi, then a little while later I can't get anything to load. And it can be like right now when I'm at home alone is not as if there's a big load on our wifi.

    We have high-speed internet by cable (25 MB/s download speed) and a router Lynksys EA3500.  Encryption is set to WPA (not WEP).

    I tried to go into my phone settings and reset the network.  Always problems.

    It's really frustrating because you eventually switch to our mobile data and use it instead of our data ' wifi '.  And then to go on our data on our phone plan

    Here's a tip for the user on the problems of Wi - Fi. Suggest from the top and bottom. Maybe one of them will help you.

    (1) perform a forced reboot: hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Leave the device to reboot.

    (2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.

    (3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth).

    (4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4

    (5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available. Also turn off all apps to VPN and retest the Wi - Fi.

    (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

    (7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.

    (8) backup and restore the device using iTunes (ask for more details if you wish).

  • Watch WiFi is connected but will not connect to internet

    I have an iPad 2 which, all of a sudden (in the Middle streaming), is more connected to the internet.  I rest the network settings, when this does not work, I have reset all settings, stopped and rebooted, all done basically.  It shows that its connected to my WiFi, but will not connect to internet.  All the other devices in my house work, then there must be a problem with the iPad.

    Reset the router: just pull the power for a few seconds and reconnect. No parameter to get lost.  Other devices operating with success is not serious. The router has probably received an invalid address for the iPad.

    I went through the steps on 'cannot uninstall an add-on. " Uninstall in safe mode doesn't seem to work and when I try to uninstall it manually, I'm either wrong, or that the information does not apply to 4.1 because I don't see anything in the folder that contains that matches the ID in the extension folder.

  • 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 Firefox

    None 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

    Hello, normally these problems are caused by a security/firewall software which does not recognize and therefore blocks the new versions of firefox. If please delete all the rules of the program for firefox to your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

  • Windows Vista Business ed. reformat - my computer detects the network but will not connect to Internet

    Can someone help me, I can't reformat a laptop compact with a windows vista Business edition OS. I was wondering if I could use the recovery partition or do I have to use an installation CD. And by the way, just to give you a head I'm just a beginner and badly needs help. the problem I had is I get a strong signal for my WiFi, but again it is not connect to the internet it connects sometimes but then after I reboot my phone it comes back with the same problem, it connects to the internet, but I detect my network, someone told me to just reformat the entire system. I hope someone can give me a help step by step on how to do it. and also I do not see the product key for my system. your help would be greatly appreciated thanks

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Hello

    Formatting/reinstalling is overkill. A bit like buying a new car because you have a flat tire.

    To reinstall, you can use either the volume of recovery or the recovery disc, both should work pretty much the same. In general, the product key is located on the system like a sticker (on laptops usually on the bottom). If you can't find yours, you should contact the provider or your network administrator (and in fact, if there is a working system, you should contact them before doing anything).

    Before you do this right, you can try this: click Start and type CMD. Right click on the menu entry that appears and choose "Run as Administrator". Click on continue in the UAC prompt. From the command line, run:

    ipconfig/release

    ipconfig/flushdns

    ipconfig / renew

    Allow everyone to finish (return to the command line) before proceeding to the next. When you are finished, close the command prompt. See if that helps with your problems of connection.

    I have problems on my PC where, in updates of programs and windows try to connect to the internet, I get an error saying that I am not connected to the internet.

    My laptop works fine if my internet connection is not the problem.  Internet Explorer works fine however when I launch a program like steam, or when I try to download a patch to Warcraft or even Windows Update I get error messages saying that I can not connect.

    I tried to turn the Windows Firewall and antivirus off but still no joy.

    Run the Norton removal tool and see if that helps. Autour Googling shows a lot of links by using the keyword "uninstall Norton broken Internet Vista". Some people report success after you run the removal tool.

  • I have been connected to the internet (wireless), then I unplugged the router and now I can not connect to internet. I tried diagnose the problem, but he said that he could not.

    I have a wireless internet connection for my laptop. I was connected to the internet, and it worked very well, so I had to unplug my router and all of a sudden I can't connect to the internet more. When I open the available networks, I hit connect on mine and he said: it does not work then I hit "diagnose the problem" and then, he says he can't. Also it is not even give me the option to set my password to connect to my network, but it does when I try to connect to any other.

    I suggest to unplug all your network cables and unplug the adapter from your modem AND router. ONLY plug your modem back power adapter in. Wait until you get a steady green light on your router, which indicates that it is ready. Then, connect the ethernet cable from your modem to your router INTERNET port. Connect the ethernet cable from your computer to any other ETHERNET port on your router. Finally turn the monitor for your router.

    If you do not do so in this order, the router can not connect properly to the internet because it doesn't have the correct IP address of your modem.

    If that didn't help then share what router you're using, please indicate brand and model? I'll offer to make sure that your router is updated with the most recent firmware, also I personally always use Google's DNS servers. Some servers DNS provided by your ISP (Internet service Provider)

    You can change this setting by going to do the following:

    Press the Win key on your keyboard.

    1. Type Ncpa.cpl (this will take you to the network connections)
    2. Select your wireless connection
    3. You will see a screen on the botton, you will see a button called properties, near the left button
    4. On the Properties menu go to IpV4 (if you don't see scroll down) double-click to open
    5. In this screen, you will see (get IP address automatically) slot that you wil see the Obtain DNS server address automatically select this option
    6. Type 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 airfield

    I will also choose a static IP address, and this can be done here as well.
