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 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!

  • updated from XP to Windows 7 and does not connect to internet

    I'm upgrading to a computer running XP on a Windows 7 computer.  I have all the wires and cables connected and in the correct places, but now with Windows 7 computer, I get a message that I am not connected to the internet.

    I unplugged the computer Windows 7, rehooked the XP computer and everything works fine and connects to the internet.

    I wonder... I must have an ethernet cable to most recent update with Windows 7 computer newer than what I used to the old XP computer?

    Thank you!

    OK, uninstall the update of windows KB2670838 solve the problem.

    to do [in win7 anyway] just open windows update, click "View update history" click on "installed updates" scroll down to the section called "microsoft windows" and seek the KB2670838 update, right click and select uninstall.
    system reboot and everything will be fine w / the new universe.

  • Just updated Firefox updated itself. Does not connect to the web sites when the mouse does not move. This all started after the update installed. PS there are more slow too

    nones

    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.

  • 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

  • Dell Vostro 430 sometimes breaks down and does not find the hard drive in the bios

    So I have this old - ish Dell Vostro 430, intel cpu, windows 7 hard disk sata 250 GB, 4 GB of ram.

    Update BIOS to the latest version 2.4.0

    In certain exceptional circumstances, this PC sometimes crashes in windows, it is restarted, and then when he comes back it does not find the hard drive as a gift. He is not seen in the bios and does not start.

    To fix, I have to unplug the power cable, wait a few seconds, plug in, reboot the computer and it starts normally, load windows and everything.

    So far, I have tried to paginate on another hard disk, reinstall the Windows operating system from scratch, and same thing happens from time to time.

    It is difficult to find the cause of the problem, because this happens very rarely.

    Sometimes, when the pc is turned on for the first time in the morning, the hard drive is not found by the bios and we reappear at the same trick (disconnect the power cable) to take him back.

    When it crashes when using inside Windows, it seems that the reason is the computer can't find the hard drive.

    Such computer is out of warranty.

    It would be nice to just throw this computer because it is still fine for the work it has to do, + I have Windows and Office OEM license on it, as well as many other software that I have to reinstall etc.etc.

    No idea what I could troubleshoot?

    Maybe change the motherboard? How can I buy a new motherboard for an out of warranty Dell?

    While possibly keeping all the OEM licenses (Windows 7 and Office 2007).

    .. .once in a while...

    That will make hard to resolve this situation.

    • Have you tried to replace the battery in the motherboard, if nothing else than to exclude it? CR2032, 3-volt lithium-ion, ~ $2 at discount stores. Do not forget to open the BIOS Setup and copy down all current settings first because remove battery BIOS resets the default values, which is maybe not correct for your specific system.
    • Have you tried another SATA data cable, or reinstall the existing at both ends?
    • Have you reinstall RAM and PCI card in their slots?
    • Have you used canned air to blow out the dust?
    • Maybe a power supply problem... ? If insufficient voltage, he could not start the HARD drive quite fast at startup, or quick enough after your option settings to be able to turn the HARD drive off when it is not accessed, what may cause this error message 'not found '.
    • If you use a power strip or surge protector, have you deleted and the PC connected directly to a wall jack?

    If it is a motherboard defective and you replace it with another jury of Vostro 430, you shouldn't have any problems with Windows or Office licenses. Assuming you are using Windows Dell reinstall for exact same version of Windows drive that was installed at the factory, it should not even ask the product key, if you must reinstall Windows on the HARD drive. But even if she asks, there should be a sticker somewhere on the PC with your unique product key so you can enter if the installer made the request.

    and make sure you have the Office product key too...

  • Firefox starts in offline mode work and does not connect to internet

    Firefox disconnects randomly internet. Work off line option is checked then when somehow naked - Firefox still does not connect. A re-start the computer him more often, solved the problem. What is new and I did not any changes recently. Running Fox 3.6.3

    Try going to Tools - Addons - Extensions and disable your extensions one by one to see if one of them is at the origin of the problem.

  • 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.

  • Subcircuit pines are not aligned with grid and does not connect

    I have two symbols the same sub-channel.  One is fine, but the other has pins which are not line up with the grid of MS and who does not yet connect.  MS12.0.0.

    This one is very good:

    The pins are off-grid.  The circle will not connect.

    Hello

    I did experiment a little with this. One thing you can try is to open the symbol Editor, select the axis that does not connect and then the spreadsheet view, change the shape of pine of length zero. Then try and see if you can connect to the PIN in the design. It will not appear as a line, but you should still be able to connect to it.

    If this does not work, you can open a service request and we can try to see how to solve the problem.

    I hope this helps.

  • Z30 Z30 blackBerry does not load unless it is rebooted and does not connect to the link

    My Z30 will load only if it is connected to an AC charger and the Z30 is restarted. My Z30 does not connect to my PC via USB. My Z30 running OS 10.3.2.2639. I did a soft reset (how I learned that it charges a restart), and recently completed a wipe of the device security. I bought the phone on October 5, 2014, and now is not working today. My dealer I come to, their store policy is only good for 30 days after purchase and referred me to go look at the manufacturer's warranty. The manufacturer's warranty is for 1 year. I just went this year a few weeks ago. Doubly upset right now!

    Hmmm... except maybe Pinterest, it is difficult to infer any specific causal event of this sequence; I hope that you have already tried to remove this app to see if things have improved. But before more destructive measures, please run the BBVE on the device to see if it provides any useful information:

    Also, that you take a LINK backup in order to recover? For example, if you know your configuration selections, the home screen configuration, add apps, claim, etc., then you can skip the backup and reconfigure simply from scratch. But note that it also requires that use you the best practice method for Contacts and calendar, in that your device does not have the data source 'master' for those, but rather some services online (e.g., Google, Outlook.com, etc.) is the master, and so when you reconfigure these data will simply restore servers, no LINK restore to get the data on your device.

    Let us know.
