Browsers/Mail :: Lost Firefox And Chrome Internet And System Restore

Jun 14, 2014

My Norton trial that came preloaded in my HP laptop was about to expire so I removed it using the Symantec Norton tool remover.

Now I only have IE 11. The Firefox and Chrome browsers won't connect to the internet. I tried system restore a couple of times but that's not working either.

How to get my browsers back. I ran the adware removal tool, AVG scan and malwarebytes. Everything is clean.

Browsers/Mail :: Internet Browser Will Not Open (Chrome And / Or Firefox)

Jan 17, 2014

I got a HP Envy m6 Sleekbook laptop about three months ago. I installed Firefox and Chrome right away, although I used Firefox almost exclusively.

After about a month, Firefox just stopped working. I would click the icon, and it would light up (and the blue circle would appear over the cursor) as if it was about to open, but after a few seconds it stopped loading and the icon went back to normal, as if I had never clicked it. It just kind of... gave up. I restarted the computer and tried opening it from a different shortcut, and then directly from the file, but the problem persisted.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox twice, but it didn't solve the issue. Finally, I abandoned Firefox and switched to using Chrome.

Now, after using Chrome without a hitch for almost two months, Chrome has spontaneously started exactly the same behavior- BUT now I can open Firefox.

I'd really like to keep using Chrome, since I finally had it set up the way I like (I have quite a few bookmarks and quirky little preferences).

Browsers/Mail :: Dell With Win 8 - Can't Email Through Chrome Or Firefox

Mar 3, 2014

I just got a Dell with Win 8 and touchscreen. It was fine for a couple days. A half hour ago when I started it again I am unable to send email using yahoo mail in either of my browsers. I can check email fine and if I click the email in the inbox I can read it fine. When I click the onscreen right or left arrow to go to next or previous email nothing happens. When I click compose I go to the draft screen and all is well until I click Send. Nothing happens. I can send fine through my hotmail account. I can't get it to work clicking on any of the other folders in yahoo mail either.

So, is this a temporary issue with yahoo or something I need to figure out about Win 8? I've been in Mac land for the last 3 years or so. Also, the touchpad is way too sensitive. I turned palm rejection to the highest setting but it still jumps all over and does things I don't want it to do.

Browsers/Mail :: Google Chrome And Mozilla Firefox Freeze Whole PC

Jan 17, 2014

I've been having problems with Google Chrome's freezes for quite a while now.

They are random, first you see that your browser doesn't respond anymore, but then neither does the PC.

You wait up to 3 minutes, and everything works out. But that's not really ideal.

So, in order to see what was wrong with my problem, I thought that I should get Mozilla Firefox.

But as I have seen, that does not change anything.

Browsers/Mail :: Google Chrome Freezes Up Entire System

Jul 23, 2013

I upgraded my laptop to Windows 8 around the new year, and until about June everything worked just fine. Then, Google Chrome all of a sudden started freezing up the entire system and required a restart. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it multiple times and every time the same thing happened. Every time I launched Chrome everything froze up. A month later I tried reinstalling it once again and the same thing happened. Is there anything that may be causing this, as it seems very strange for one single browser to have such an effect and I would very much like to switch back to Chrome.

Internet Navigation - Pages Fail To Load 75% Of The Time Using Chrome And Firefox

Jan 30, 2014

On my office network none of the computers connected to it have problems surfing the web, except my own. Pages fail to load 75% of the time, I use Google Chrome and Firefox but they both have the same problem. I've scanned my pc for malware and viruses using Malwarebytes and Bitdefender (separately of course) and they've come back clear. I've reset the tcp ip stack (a pain in Windows 8) taking full control of netsh via the regedit key (running it as admin), then wiping the wifi profile, following with a dns flush and finalizing with restarting the computer. Once restarted I can navigate the internet problem free for a few pages and then I go back to having issues. I can't reinstall Windows 8 because I don't have a disc or a partition (upgraded from Win7 to 8 pro online, which I admit was a huge mistake).

I am running on : Windows 8.1 Pro
AMD Athlon 2 P320 Dual Core Processor 2.10Ghz
8.00GB RAM, 64 bit OS, x64 processor.

Browsers/Mail :: Win 8.1 And Internet Explorer - System Crashing

Oct 28, 2013

After upgrading my OS to Win 8.1 Pro, (upgraded from 8.0) when using Explorer it keeps locking up and hangs the entire machine - the mouse freezes and the entire thing locks up, the only way to recover is to reboot the PC.

Looking at it, it looks like it might be caused by pop ups from the page I am viewing at the time - If I use IE it locks up on the initial page, if I switch to Chrome the point where IE locks up is the same point that Chrome opens a second window within the main window.

I cannot access anything, cannot get task manager or switch programs, nothing - I have to power off and restart.

Browsers/Mail :: Firefox Is Not Showing Images

Aug 15, 2013

I got a new Samsung laptop because my other laptop was slow and old. However, there is something strange in this laptop the images on firefox don't appear all the time.

I followed their guide: Cleared cache and cookies, it worked for few hours then images are not loading.

- I deleted my ESET smart security: It didn't do anything.
- I installed Panda free antivitus and still the same problem. So it's not from the antivirus program I'm using.

I checked my other laptop and images are showing without any problem, so it can't be from my connection.

What else can I do? I think I exhausted my laptop uninstall and Install a lot of programs and it's still new.

Browsers/Mail :: Firefox Always Hangs At Close?

Oct 6, 2013

1) Firefox always hangs (Not Responding) when I try to close it.

2) Sometimes I am unable to kill the process from Task Manager or Process Explorer (access denied).

3) Sometimes it leaves behind a zombie process that can't be killed. I cannot launch a new Firefox process (it launches but stays hidden). The only solution is to reboot my computer.

4) If I leave Firefox open, after a while it becomes nonresponsive. I usually need to reboot the computer for reason 3 above.

I have seen similar behavior from Internet Explorer and iTunes, but not all the time. I am focusing on Firefox now because the problem is very repeatable.

I have scoured the internet looking for a solution but have come up empty. The Mozilla web site suggests I disable all add-ons, which I have done. This does not fix the problem, so it is something else. I have Norton Antivirus and have scanned my system for problems but it is clean (tried Malwarebytes too, but looks good). I have tried disabling my antivirus software (everything but the firewall) and still get the same problem. I have methodically gone through and made sure all of my drivers are up to date.

Browsers/Mail :: Some Pages Loading Slowly In Firefox

Oct 21, 2013

My browser of choice is Firefox but I have the same problems in Chrome also. First a little background. I'm running Windows 8.1 for the last month and up until 1 week ago I had Roadrunner light with download speeds around 9 to 10 Mbps. Last week I upgraded to higher speed Roadrunner and am now getting download speeds of around 35 Mbps consistently.

Now my problem: Several forum pages that I frequent USED to load instantly and when clicking on a post would load instantly. Now certain pages may take up to 45 seconds to 1 minute or sometimes not at all. This happens most of the time but not all the time. This happens whether I'm using Firefox, Chrome or IE. I have cleared cookies, history, search, cache in an attempt to solve this problem.

Browsers/Mail :: How To Get Clean Copy Of Firefox Browser

Sep 19, 2013

I bought a cheap Gateway, downloaded Firefox and got all kinds of junk with it. I ended up returning the Gateway for a better computer a ASUS and I've installed everything but Firefox. I'm scared to download it. Last time it took me 3 hrs plus virus and malware scans to get rid of all the junk that came with it.

Where and how I can get a clean copy of Firefox browser?

I also downloaded "open office" and got even more junk. Now with this new computer which I love, I don't want any of that junk.

Browsers/Mail :: Firefox Suddenly Locking At Startup

Jun 28, 2013

I've been using FF without problems for years.

Yesterday, suddenly, whenever I execute Firefox, it locks for about 10-15 seconds.

(get a "not responding" prompt in file manager)

It all started yesterday when Firefox 22 was installed, (well, AROUND that time) and now it locks each time I start it.

It releases itself after about 15 seconds.

I've tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it, removing all plugins, and I'm just about going insane.

Browsers/Mail :: IE Tile On Win 8.1 Start Screen Opens Firefox

Aug 25, 2014

I'm running Windows 8.1. and recently I tried to launch Internet Explorer (11) from the start menu. It launched Firefox. I ran a search from the start menu for Internet Explorer found it and clicked. Again Firefox opened instead of IE. I clicked on an icon on my desktop set up to open a website in IE regardless of browser preferences. It opened Firefox and went to the homepage I have set in Firefox not to the URL I had set.

Opening IE by browsing to to C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe. workes just fine. Creating a desktop shortcut directly to the exe works fine. I played around with the associated programs for internet and even with everything defaulting to IE it would still open Firefox when clicking on the IE Tile on the start menu. I uninstalled/reinstalled IE11 with no change.

So I then uninstalled Firefox. Now clicking on the start icon for IE it brings up a box asking me something about an exe with a checkbox (can't remember exactly) and below that Internet explorer or I can choose other down below. If I chose IE it brought up another window asking what I wanted to do with iexplore.exe. Save/ Save As / Save and Run. None of the options opened IE. IE at this point still runs by going directly to the exe in Program Files.

Logged off as that user and logged back on as a different user and ie works just fine from that profile.

I'm guessing something in my registry is hosed, how I can repair this?
