Firefox trouble

[FalmerforAll!**]

Whenever I try and get Firefox running it tells me it cannot find the page because of proxy settings or firewall settings.Can anyone shed any light on this?

I am not sure that would help really, but worth a shot if all else fails.

Do you have Google Web Accelerator?

Yes, it's probably your proxy settings or firewall settings.

Hope this helps.

Yes but how do I change them to fit Firefox preferances

 

[Starry]

Go to tools --->options --->advanced ---> network ---> connection ---> settings. (Assuming you have FF2.0)

What option is selected there?

And if you have the Google Web Accelerator get rid of it or disable it.

There aint no settings though starry,thats the trouble

 

[Starry]

What version of FF is it? Can always try uninstalling/reinstalling.

In there it says Configure Proxies To Access The Internet?

Then there are four options - direct connection, auto-detect, manual and automatic?

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

correct

 

[Starry]

Is the direct connection setting marked or one of the others?

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

No,its the Manual one

Are you using IE now? Can't you go into IE and get your settings and copy them over into FF?

Or try the direct connection option in FF?

The problem is,there aren't any settings

 

[Starry]

Not even in IE?

You need to know your proxy address to put in there.

Do you have the latest version of Firefox?, have you been updating whenever necessary?
