If Firefox cannot load websites, but your other browser can, follow the instructions below.
== Cannot load websites after updating Firefox ==
If you were able to load websites until you updated Firefox, your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is likely preventing Firefox from connecting to the Internet. Some Internet security programs can block Internet access even when they are in a "disabled" state.
In general, you should remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For instructions on how to configure some programs, see the [[Firewalls]] article.
== Firefox connection settings ==
If you connect to the Internet through a proxy server that is having connection problems, you will not be able to load websites. To check your Firefox proxy settings:
# [[T:optionspreferences]]
# Select the {menu Advanced} panel.
# Select the '''Network''' tab.
# In the Connection section, click {button Settings...}.
# Change your proxy settings:
** If you don't connect to the Internet through a proxy (or don't know whether you connect through a proxy), select '''No Proxy'''.
** If you connect to the Internet through a proxy, compare Firefox's settings to another browser's{for win} (Such as Internet Explorer. See [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/135982 Microsoft's guide to proxy settings]){/for}{for mac} (Such as Safari. See [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Safari/3.0/en/9299.html Apple's guide to proxy settings]){/for}.
# Close the Connection Settings window.
# [[T:closeOptionsPreferences]]
{for fx35}
== DNS Prefetching ==
[https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Controlling_DNS_prefetching DNS Prefetching] is a technique Firefox uses to speed up loading new websites. To disable DNS Prefetching:
# [[T:aboutconfig]]
# [[T:contextmenu]] in the list of preferences, select {menu New}, and then select {menu Boolean}.
# In the '''Enter the preference name''' window, enter {pref network.dns.disablePrefetch} and click {button OK}.
# Select {pref true} when prompted to set the value and click {button OK}.
{/for}
== IPv6 ==
Firefox supports [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 IPv6] by default, which may cause connection problems on certain systems. To disable IPv6 in Firefox:
# [[T:aboutconfig]]
# In the '''Filter''' field, type {pref network.dns.disableIPv6}
# In the list of preferences, double-click {pref network.dns.disableIPv6} to change its value from {pref false} to '''{pref true}'''.
= Firefox cannot load certain websites =
If you find that Firefox can load some websites but not others, {for win}first{/for} clear your Firefox cookies and cache:
[[T:clearCookiesCache]]
{for win}
== Check for malware ==
If clearing your cookies and cache did not enable you to load the websites that did not work in Firefox, you should check your computer for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware malware]. Certain types of malware are known to target Firefox and can prevent it from loading various websites:
* If you have an antivirus or Internet security program, update its detections database and do a full scan of your system.
* If you still have problems, you can get a second opinion by scanning your system with an online antivirus utility, such as [http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ TrendMicro Housecall] or [http://www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/solutions/activescan/ Panda ActiveScan].
