And now nothing works, it tells me that I have to download the latest version of Firefox but I have it already. I hate using IE itâ€(TM)s slow and I cant download properly with that. Thank you for your help.

Hi, I had the same problem using ubuntu: everything work fine but after upgrade firefox can't stablish a connection any more. I solve this following the next steps:

1. Type about:config in the location bar
2. Search for "dns"
3. Change the value of "network.dns.disableIPv6" to "true"

and everything works fine again. Hope this help!

I was in touch with my internet provider and they said that when firefox updated last it reset my ip address and internet proxy.

Hopefully this one will work because I have tried all the other suggestions on the page !

I have had the same problem for a few weeks now. Strange thing is, even with IE only IE7 works. I tried the IE8 beta and that didn't work either. I've also tried Firefox, Safari and Chrome. No luck. All the IM programs work.
I tried the suggestions above - adding Exceptions and setting network.dns.disableIPv6 to true. Neither did anything for me. I also went into regedit and deleted all Mozilla and Firefox entries, then reinstalled FF. Still nothing. I have no clue what to try next.

I actually did a system restore to before the problem, because I was told an microsoft update caused the problem. I set my windows updates to ask me to for permission to install. I gained back firefox and downloaded 3.0.7. My browsers started working again, the updates for Vista seemed to knock out my system

I have this problem for a while, Internet explorer and firefox suddenly stop working. You can open the browser, but the page won't load...
I have vista sp1, with a wireless internet connection.
The only thing I found to get it back working was to reboot, till today. I just got it a few minutes ago, and I stopped all programs that are running (next to the clock), and it just worked fine.
So it must be one of these programs IMO: avast, zone alarm, ad-aware, windows sidebar, ati catalyst control center.
Next time it happens, i'll find out what program is bugging me...

In my case it is Avast wich is blocking my browsers. I tried firefox, internet explorer an Safari.
I just have to click on "stop by acces protection", wait a minute, and it works again (i can put protection back on and still works).

I have a problem. :[

Every time I go on myspace with Mozilla, some photos won't show. But you see, people do have photos, but it is replaced with a "NO PHOTO" sign. Hard to explain. But when you go on another laptop or computer, you can see everything is fine, and nothing wrong. And also when I try to play certain songs on the music player, it would play the song, but stop half way. This is really bugging me, and its been happening for over a month now. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME! :[

I'm having the same problem, I have vista, and for the past 6 days or so, Firefox has not been opening. I've been forced to use IE, and it blows! (Almost as bad as Safari) Anyways, I've been trying to run FF in safe mode, tried to uninstall, tried to delete all the folders, plug ins....I feel like I've tried it all. Nothing happens when I try to open it in safe mode, and when I try to delete or uninstall it, it says that it cannot be uninstalled because it is in use. So naturally I check the task manager, and low and behold there are no running applications except the uninstall window. I've tried to restart the computer, and still nothing. I've even tried a system restore...any suggestions?!?! Any help would be awesome! Thx.

Had the same problem. Unable to play videos in Faceboo,. Check your plug ins. Remove 'AdBlock' Seems to prevent new Flash Player from opening. Also, use Adobel Flash player uninstall to remove extra copies. Also empty cache, history, etc. Any other similar pop up blockers should allow Facebook.

Try this:
Re-download mozilla firefox, but don't let it automatically place it where it usually goes. Manually place it somewhere else.

Mine automatically installed in D: Program Files/Mozilla Firefox, and I installed it like 3 times with no sucess.
Once I changed it to C: Program Files/Mozilla Firefox it worked fine. Just try another place for it to go.

I had problem with mozilla like all of you.. My mozilla didn´t work, but my IE worked just like opera..by the way,I have vista..I` ve tried all these things thinking that will solve my problem .. and that didn´t help, until i´ve tried simply to save mozilla to another disk, and that really helped, so thank you for a good advice..:)

Ignite, I tried exactly what you said, and I also made sure I deleted any extra FF files in my hard drive (found one). Then I ran CCleaner, rebooted my machine, re-installed FF, and I had the same problem: the FF logo appears but there is a blank page, and at the bottom of the page it says "Done". I give up!

P.S. I always install FF via my AOL web browser. Could that be the problem? Should I install it via IE?

In Windows 7 Resource Monitor I saw Firefox taking 500 M memory and a large portion of the CPU. Removed it with the Resource Monitor and could restart immediately. I suspect that something in one of the many open tabs is a resource hog.

I started closing them.
