Why Firefox has randomly decided not to load any website?

On the eve of my problem was triggered, everything worked perfectly well. Today, as I turned it on my computer loaded up Firefox, I was greeted with "unable to connect, Firefox cannot connect to www.whatever.com. No Web site at all, no matter a secure site (https) and normal Web page or same Mozilla.org would be responsible. Yet another browser can. I have torn the support page seeking a solution and I really tried all suggested (clear all cookies, history, etc., remove and add new Firefox in the list of reliable in the firewall Windows, uninstall programs, deleting the Firefox in Program Files folder, then reinstall). Norton has been disabled even when Firefox was working, so he couldn't possibly be interfering. No update for the browser, my computer or anything else has produced recently, or if I downloaded all the malicious files.

I could not possibly express how frustrating it is and any help would be appreciated very much.

Windows 8
Firefox 27.0.1

I understood everything. It turns out that Norton was blocking all programs on the web on my computer as it has been disabled. I knew that Firefox would not let me down! I will continue to use the best browser in the world!

    Hi Reos,

    When you reinstall Firefox it always uses your old profile with all the old things that you had. That said, you're lucky, there is a new feature that lets you "Reset" of Firefox. This will remove some of the pieces that might cause problems while it keeps your bookmarks and other important things safe.

    Check it out and let me know if it works: Refresh Firefox – reset the parameters and modules

  • Why Firefox has disabled the only version of Flash (10.1.53.64) my computer can use? (Mac PowerPC G5) Help!

    Why Firefox has disabled the only version of Flash (10.1.53.64) my computer can use? (Mac PowerPC G5) Help!

    Your computer hardware has arrived at the stage where most of the software needs resources your machine cannot provide because it's too old. You have a few choices.

    1. Get new hardware that can handle the latest software
    2. Use a different operating system, like Linux (which is free)

    I rehabilitated an old G5 recently and it runs very well in the latest Firefox. I put Lubuntu on the machine instead the MacOS. Lubuntu (pronounced Loo-boon-two) is sort of a Ubuntu lite - a user-friendly version of Linux. There are many applications of your choice, and everything is free.

    You can also use the Ubuntu greediest in resources and a little more user-friendly, also free, but you can be more pleased with the performance of Lubuntu instead.

    The PowerPC, I did this on was one of the old blue Bondi ones. Firefox 8 had no problem to start on it at all and has all necessary plug-ins for video, audio, etc... I gave him a church and it works well for them.

    You can download older versions of Firefox, but you'll just open to security problems if you do.

    FYI: The Mac operating system is based on Linux.

  • Firefox and Safari are not completely load some sites, but Chrome is. Why?

    Tonight, I noticed that some Web sites have been does not completely load on firefox. I tried to use Safari to see if it was a firefox problem, but he had the same problem. However, when I loaded the sites on Google Chrome it worked fine.

    I tried to reset firefox and clear cache, but it did not help so I uninstalled and reinstalled but it still doesn't load these web pages correctly. This just shows that constantly trying to load and pieces of the site are missing or broken. I'm on a Mac using Mountain Lion. I've updated the Java plug in, but it does not seem to have done anything to improve the situation.

    Alternatively, you can try to disable IPv6.

    You can try to reset (power off / on) of the router.

  • Why firefox has become bloated and lazy like IE?

    I tried like hell to stick with firefox, but it became useless.

    Installation of costs, on a new installation of operating system on a PC with 8 cores@3ghz and 32 GB of ram, and firefox is STILL SLOW!

    More than 10 tabs == random crash for a few seconds / minutes
    Have more than 5 tabs and close one that it blocks a few seconds to a minute.
    Have more than 10 tabs open, select "Close other tabs" after the tabs, FF hangs for 30-90 seconds.

    After the closure of the tabs, CPU utilization pulls up to this core... I say for this kernel, because the limit of mozilla firefox for one heart, which wouldn't be so bad, except EVERYTHING ON THE SYSTEM HANGS waiting for THAT ONE CORE to CATCH THE FUCK UP!

    Add on top of that firefox looking more and more like the chrome... I mean.. Firefox is essentially like having the version slow, delayed, shit smell of chrome...

    PLEASE GO BACK TO WHAT MADE YOU FAMOUS!

    A light and fast browser.

    NOBODY WANTS OR NEEDS ALL THAT USELESS GARBAGE YOU KEEP SHOVELLING AWAY!

    Here's an idea, before avant d' ajouter to add more code buggy nonsense that serves nothing real other than to make you look more like a bastardised version of chrome, why don't you actually fix crap buggy, slow garbage code have already set you up?

    STOP TRYING TO BE LIKE THE CHROME! IF I WANTED CHROME FUCKING, I HAD TO INSTALL IT!

    If the next version of Firefox is nothing else than to fix the many problems causing slow performance and high CPU usage, I'll be moving to chrome and leave Firefox and Mozilla to continue its business of a slow and painful death walk down.

    @the-edmeister thanks for the typical canned answer, I am pleased to see that copy - paste works always.

    Canned responses do not work, because the situation is based on a new installation of the operating system and a new installation of firefox.
    All the drivers on the system is new and up-to-date.

    I ALWAYS run through the basic troubleshooting list. If I had found a solution for poor performance and hogging CPU memory/crappy, I him have not posted here.

    @jscher2000
    Thanks for the link, but I had already tried it, work with no joy.

    As for the rest of the answer, I have a few comments and questions:

    Statement: "Mozilla's mission is to drive the web forward, which is to introduce new technologies constantly in Firefox."

    Comment: Change the GUI to work and look like Chrome is not new and innovative. It is simply duplicating someone else's ideas.

    Statement: "at the same time, developers constantly working to improve the efficiency of memory."

    Comment: since when? Over the years, whenever FF has "updated" the memory usage has increased. On rare occasions, it has also introduced memory leaks, or attempted to hide or split to its own use of memory in the secondary threads... plugin-container for a good idea, is an example that has been poorly implemented.

    Statement: "because the browser code is open source, others have used it to create products that look more like older versions of Firefox, or gathered for 64-bit systems, etc..". You can check those and decide if they are more productive for you than the official version. »

    Question: Where might these alternatives. Simply Googling turns a myriad of other browsers, Chrome for most of the results. Versions of firefox based very little I could find are the pale Moon and waterfox.
    Others are based on the FF are for most * nix flavors or specialized for users of niche such as cat and iceweasle for gnu and debian ice respectively, and wyzo based on niche media downloads.

    I understand that Firefox is open source, and if I had the time team, Fund and development to devote to creating a browser standard, basic, no frills, using their source, I would have already.

    My problem is not with Firefox itself, but the struggle continues Mozilla comply Firefox for chrome UI, while gradually adding bloat, instability and some "features" unnecessary which are not needed or requested by users.

    I get that Mozilla tries to innovate. But adding bloat and tracking features of data or features that cannot be used unless the tracking data is enabled is a huge slap in the face of almost all those who have started using firefox because it objected to these measures implemented in other browsers at the time.

    The entire reason why firefox became so popular was because it worked, was quick and did not use all of the system cpu and ram. Why? because at that time, it had all the bells, whistles, gadgets, door knockers, the banana seat, ape-hanger handlebars and a chrome-plated stand... Remove all trash, and the browser would be more likely to cut its use of CPU and memory in two, if not more.

    And Yes... This has turned into a feedback session.
    No, I didn't intend to let him be.
    No, I will not create a survey of 'feedback '... I've done done several times over the years, and as is typical of mozilla, they simply ignore it and do the opposite.

  • I was using Firefox for some time this morning when Firefox has suddenly shown "not responding".

    Now, he opens with "not responding". I can open it in safe mode but nothing works. The button "restore" & "start new session" does not work. It does not connect to any web site. I had a lot of tabs open when it crashed. There is no crash report (latest is 6 weeks ago).

    If this does not work in mode without failure, then disable all extensions and then try to find out who is the cause by allowing both the problem reappears.

    • Choose "Disable all add-ons" on issues to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode to set window to disable all extensions.
    • Close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit ' (Mac: ' Firefox > leave";) Linux: "file > exit ')

    See also:

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

  • Firefox won't load any websites at all

    I have been using Firefox for a while more, as IE 10 would not work for me, but a few days ago Firefox has stopped working all together. I click Firefox and everything that happens is that it loads a new tab, and it has a blank page without web address. If I type in a web address, it "charge" for a fraction of a second and is still a blank page. I uninstalled and reinstalled and did not work. I have also reset Firefox, and it does nothing except that I get a useless toolbar. I have no Chrome, but IE works fine for me because I've downgraded to IE 9. I prefer Firefox, as it is a bit faster and more simply organized. Is there anything else I can try to solve this problem?

    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 to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    have tried all the fixes, this system could throw to me, honestly tried 98% of them myself already, once more. Anyway my question is that sites like CNN.com, IGN.com, mozilla.org (and some but not all of the related sites) will be hanging and loads very slowly or not at all. This issue just started unexpectedly a few days ago. I was not to load a new software or patch whatever, AFAIK (cannot not talk about auto-updates to date) I don't have this problem in Internet Explorer in all. Things, I tried to remedy the situation:

    1 ran malware bytes, spy-bot, norton antivirus (also disabled all them to guarantee no cofilicts) to find hard-ware or viruses... found nothing

    2 uninstalled firefirefox also deleted firefox folders in C:/users / (username) / appdata/local and roaming, as well as my C:/program files (x 86)... I then reinstalled Firefox

    3 disabled hardware acceleration and also tried on.

I really want to get this working and short the very unpleasant, or even ineffective reinstalled windows, I'm out of ideas.

    you have an update for firefox just a minute it y a. seems to have been ironed out the remaining lag in loading pages. Still not sure what all that fixed. I really hate wave of bugs like this cause, it will probably not any use to anyone else their own troubleshooting problems. Well I will end this. Thanks for the help everyone!

  • OfficeJet Pro8610: OfficeJet Pro8610 will not print from any website

    I use Win7 (64 bit) with SP1 and I had to replace an OfficeJet 6700 with a new all-in-one. I did it with an OfficeJet Pro8610 yesterday.  After a struggle to get the printer works wirelessly (it was necessary to connect to my laptop (HP) via a USB 1 port) I went to an online brokerage account last night and printed a statement.  When I tried to do exactly the same thing today I can't print of this site I've always been able to do with my old 6700 OfficeJet-it'ds.  In fact I can not print from any Bank, brokerage, etc sites now.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, both online and with the CD rom, I turned off the printer, the laptop and the router and I have the same problem.

    Has anyone seen this kind of problem and managed to fix the problem.  Thanks for the help.

    I have a 2nd question that I'll post separately because I can't connect a computer laptop 2nd in this printer.

    Alkymst

    Google Chrome has a tendency to stick to old files, printing and print settings. To resolve this problem, you will need to change the Destination before printing of Chrome. If your print queue is configured correctly and that you can print from other programs, then open print your window chrome. On the left hand side, click on change.

    Once you do you will be able to modify the print queue that uses Chrome and you should be able to print your PDF documents.

    Regarding the suggestion of networking if you see guidelines referring to the activation of the web services or by entering your request on the connected HP Code then you can skip these directions. These instructions are primarily for the ePrint service.

    I hope this helps and I hope you have a great weekend!

  • Why does Firefox Mac returns 'Server not found' for a website but Safari on Mac same load site without any problems?

    The financial company Web site www.gmo.com will not appear in Firefox 32.0.02. Server not found is the only result. Safari loads Web site without any problem and Firefox for Windows computer in the House support the site without problem. All the other sites I have access, including banks, Amazon, etc. loads normally.

    What/why the Mac of Firefox version would not be able to to connect/load this site?

    The company of people told me that no one else has reported this problem and other people in my company can access the site. And they cannot reproduce the problem.

    My ISP provider could not see anything from their point of view. And access all computers to the modem/router in the House everything without any problems.

    Anyone have any ideas on what would cause this or how to go about troubleshooting?

    Thank you for your time.

    Looks like it's something on the computer. There are cookies that must be removed individually from the Firefox profile.

    To do this, go to the Firefox Menu, tap Preferences, then tap privacy and then delete cookies or cookies see the. You can search the sites that gives you problems and remove them. Restart Firefox.

    It could also be that you add a DNS server for your connection. 8.8.8.8 is google, but I don't know if this would affect given that the server is not found, not that there is no link, that's why it does not sound like a connection problem, but a cache problem. Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox

  • Why firefox has slow response when I save images on hard drive?

    I have windows 7 64 bit and Mozila firefox worm 17.0.1. I have the following problem. When I try to save an image from a site (right mouse click and save as) the disk hard from my pc, firefox response is slow. It takes about 6 to 10 seconds. I thought that it was a matter of file size, but it turned out that it was not relevant because it was images of 10 KB to 500 KB. I did the following:
    -clear history
    -clear the firefox cache and the cache folder in my profile
    -Delete the downloads.sqlite and localstore.rdf files
    -J' changed the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone and services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone false
    -clear the downloads window
    -Disable all add-ons

    After all this, the problem remains
    Then I started firefox in safe mode (help-> restart with the disabled... modules). The problem remains.
    Then I disabled the windows firewall and Microsoft security essentials (real-time protection). I don't have any other antivirus or firewall on my pc. Nothing happened.

    Then, I created a new profile (reset firefox). Nothing happened. A last attempt, then, remained to be done. Restart in safe mode. So I followed these steps.
    I ran msconfig and disabled Microsoft Security Client to start tab and Microsoft antimalware Service on the services tab. So, I did a boot in safe mode with network support and disabled windows firewall. Guess what. Nothing happened.

    I noticed that when I tried to record images, in the process, there was a significant activity of hard drive (the hard drive activity led indicator was constantly lighting) and firefox in the upper left corner, shown the message does not for about 6 to 10 seconds. You understand that saving a picture of 19 Ko in 10 seconds is not normal.

    Is - this problem has to do with the cache? The disc is a SSD (solid state drive). Do you think that it would be preferable to redirect the in-memory cache? (I have 6 GB of total RAM). This problem was also in previous versions of firefox, but I think that with this version, the problem is more common. This is not the case with all the photos, but it happens with more than 65% of the images.

    It also happens when loading a web page, but it could be a question of a heavy web page that uses a lot of resources in my system, while loading. The problem is the same. Constant hard disk activity and it takes time to load the web page. The problem with the loading of the web page, is not as common as with saving images.

    I think it's a question of management of the cache. What is your opinion?

    Thank you.

    The cause of my problem was the jump lists, which has Windows 7. There are two types of jump lists, automatic or custom. Automatic jump lists caused the slow decline in firefox via Windows Explorer. Finally, it was a windows problem exploring and not firefox. Windows 7 introduces many new features that cause slow system performance. In any case, the solution to the problem is to follow the steps:
    1. open my computer and on the address bar paste the path: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
    2. press CTRL + a
    3. press SHIFT + DELETE and delete the entire folder
    I think the respective windows Explorer jump list is one that begins with 1b4dd67f29cb1962, in which case you do not want to delete the list of every jump in the folder. If you use firefox, download a file and then go to the above mentioned path and view the files by date. The most recent file must be the correspondent with firefox.

  • Why Firefox has changed to show the U.S. on search sites when I am based in the United Kingdom?

    Since the installation of her "forget the historical navigation button" Firefox automatically displays the American Web sites instead of the previous UK those.

    The forget button is build in Firefox, but in order to ensure that there has been no change, have you you initially download the American or British Firefox build? I do not think that the two are linked, but you can change the search location in some search preferences. This can also be triggered by you IP address.
