davieG Posted 17 April 2008 Posted 17 April 2008 That happens to me every time, you have to reset your firewall to allow it to operate. Are you using PC Tools Firewall Plus?

dandannieldanok Posted 17 April 2008 Posted 17 April 2008 IE is pure shite, FF rules, or did :laugh: Can't be that shite, you wouldn't be posting without IE.

JoeyB Posted 17 April 2008 Author Posted 17 April 2008 Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/ * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. Thats the error message i get, just gone into window firewall and added Firefox, to allow it and it wont work <_<
JoeyB Posted 17 April 2008 Author Posted 17 April 2008 I have Firefox but never use it... I use Safari! LEAVE
JoeyB Posted 17 April 2008 Author Posted 17 April 2008 Sorted, was down to crappy norton blocking it, So what have i learnt today? Norton and IE are worse than i origanly thought
Joe. Posted 17 April 2008 Posted 17 April 2008 I had to update mine today as well but mine works alright still.
Monk Posted 18 April 2008 Posted 18 April 2008 Safari is good but it doesnt display pages correctly in a lot of cases
Zingari Posted 18 April 2008 Posted 18 April 2008 never had any trouble with recent updates on FF but quite honestly can't see any improvements either
danny. Posted 18 April 2008 Posted 18 April 2008 firefox used ot be good, just bloated and slow these days, plus its suffered from memory leaks for ages www.opera.com - best/fastest browser by miles

SamL Posted 18 April 2008 Posted 18 April 2008 Sorted, was down to crappy norton blocking it,So what have i learnt today? Norton and IE are worse than i origanly thought You should try AVG, I've never had any problems with it. http://free.grisoft.com/ I've installed the Firefox update and haven't had any trouble with it, touch wood.
JadeFalcon Posted 18 April 2008 Posted 18 April 2008 for the user of safari.... its insecure and paypal will be stopping accepting connections from it very soon http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7354539.stm just thought i would add reply and give heads up
Steven Posted 19 April 2008 Posted 19 April 2008 firefox used ot be good, just bloated and slow these days, plus its suffered from memory leaks for ageswww.opera.com - best/fastest browser by miles Very much so. In fact I have seen the memory it consumes grow by 600% during the day and yet never seems to release any of those resources.
DBEightyFive Posted 20 April 2008 Posted 20 April 2008 Norton really is bad, when you uninstall it, some of it still stays on the computer. Download a program called Norton Uninstaller, that removes absolutely everything to do with Norton from your PC. Norton Uninstaller Working in IT myself, that is the first thing I advise people to do it be rid of the shit that is Norton and just going for something free like AVG or Avast. But then if you are very careful about what you download (only download from reputable sources, never open suspect emails) you shouldn't need anti-virus anyway

My Norton subscription runs out at the end of April and I am absolutely not inclined to renew it. The things it has done to my system, plus all the nightmare stories I've heard in the past few months have made me change my mind. As soon as I've got it all removed, I'll put Kaspersky on. Better, more reliable and smoother to run. No more automatic updates that are killing the processor speed. Hooray.
