Ubuntu :: Firefox Was At First Running Smoothly, But Later It Would No Longer Connect/open Any Given Site?
Nov 4, 2010
After I had upgraded to 10.10, Firefox was at first running smoothly, but later it would no longer connect/open any given site. (could not connect to server). I the de-installed and new installed Firefox and it worked fine again for a while but then the same problem returned. I then completely removed Firefox and all packages pertaining to it, and then made a new install of the basic Firefox browser (same problem), then started adding one by one the other "Ubuntu" packages in synaptic for firefox, but the problem remains. I am currently using Chromium (which runs well and extremely fast) but I would like to have Firefox back

Sometimes a site gets a new URL, or simply is discontinued.
I notice this when opening a bookmark of mine.
So I wonder if there is a way to delete the corresponding bookmark entry? Without having to go to bookmark manager?
I am thinking of a pressing a button that does:
Delete any and all bookmarks to this domain.

When I'm trying to access my site using Firefox I get this error: "Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at mysite.com.
-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."
Then I tried to access my site using Opera and Chrome but I get the same error, that the browsers couldn't connect to it.
The site to which I'm trying to connect is definitely up. (I ask a few people and they can access it and I looked at [url] and it says that my site it's up)

I was doing some research on SSDs in wikipedia. Then it was showing me links to like DRAM and SRAM. Then there was RAM which I was familiar with. Anyways down to the point.The way your computer works is. When you start up your computer. Whatever is read on the hardrive is put on your RAM memory right.? For temporary and when you start applications. It is put in your RAM from your drive to run faster. This is why having ALOT of ram is useful for having your computer running smoothly. Right?

It's a lot more laggy and jerky in GNOME/X, even with GL-render on. Is this normal with nVidia cards or should I try tweaking some settings?

Several times in the last few days the desktop has frozen. I don't know if it's KDE issue or another conflict.All programs seem to continue running smoothly, but none of the menus on windows will work, or anything in the task manager, or desktop itself. I've tried killing the task manager but it doesn't affect the issue. If I knew what process was causing this, I might be able to restart it.

i am wanting to use Firefox to connect to my smb shares. However, i keep getting this error message: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (smb) isn't associated with any program. My client configuration is as follows: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.8pre) Gecko/20100106 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Shiretoko/3.5.8preI tried the instructions below to try and fix the problem with no success: Quote: From [URL]
Linux with Firefox In order to connect to a network share directly from you browser under Linux, you must configure Firefox to handle URL's starting with "smb://". This is done by typing "about:config" in the address line and hitting return. After that you must right-click the list of settings and choose "New -> Boolean" as shown below.
As name you must type: "network.protocol-handler.external.smb" with a value of "true". After that you must do the same thing over again, but this time choose "New -> String", type the name: "network.protocol-handler.app.smb" with a value of the path to the application you wish to use for browsing network shares. If you use KDE, this will typically be "/usr/bin/konqueror".

When I go to Places -> Connect to server, or right-click Open Containing Folder in Firefox or Transmission, or pretty much anything that is suppose to open a folder - instead it opens Music Player.

I have Karmic Koala 9.10 working (near) perfectly on my iMac7,1, as identified by
Code:
NOTE: See below for Lucid 10.04 update to these instructions
IMPORTANT: You need to complete the installation procedure while connected to internet via the WIRED network. Then you can enable the wireless by installing the restricted drivers, after the install is complete. Also the fglrx ATI Video driver is effortlessly installed via Menu > System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
The sound card gave me some trouble, as it is an Intel HDA Model, reported as 'Codec: Realtek ALC889A' by

After reboot, my sound is full and can be put much louder than before. Jack detection works. Some people might have to leave out the power saving options. See below.

I used to be able to watch Streaming Video from this site (It flowed continuously):and now that I have upgraded the speed of my DSL Internet Connection from 512kbps to 1 MBPS the video no longer flows. My problem with Video Streaming is only with the above site, all other similar web sites work perfectly. I have spoken to my internet service provider and they say there is no problem with my connection.The web site is a 24 hour news media site from Australia and contains no offensive material.

At 1 of the computers I have a problem with a certain internet site. Maybe other sites give problems too, but I'm not aware of that. I get this problem with the following site [URL] At the other computers the site is interactive. Normally you could enter an address on the left and also place markers on the map at the right. On the other computers everything works fine. But on this certain computer, the site still indicates that it is loading, and nothing else happens.
I uninstalled flash, firefox, and java. I also remove the folders .mozilla, and .macromedia, restarted the computer, and installed firefox again. Then I installed macromedia flash and java. But when I started that certain site, the problem exists. At last, I installed Google Chromium. With this browser everything works fine.

I'm new to Linux and I recently decided to try out Ubuntu. I used the Wubi installer so it's on Windows (just to see if I liked Ubuntu) and it works fine, but with one exception: the internet (or maybe just Firefox) isn't working. The internet connection worked just fine on XP. On Ubuntu, it says that it was able to connect to the wireless network, but when I try to go to any page on Firefox it just keeps trying to load perpetually and never connects to the site, eventually just showing the "Server not found" page.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.10 for Ubuntu 10.10 with the smooth-scaling ppa (only addons I'm using are Firebug and the Ubuntu modifications pack).Several sites with navigation menus the menu is spread over two lines when it obviously shouldn't be (eg. The Telegraph online, BBC News...) this happens no matter what the zoom level is set to. Chromium renders all these pages normally.

I have a question about anybody who knows how to use firestarter firewall. I'm trying to get access to a Macromedia flash site that needs port 1935 open. While it is not a big issue to open the port, I want to do it just for the server that needs it. I do not want to open it to everybody else. I wonder if anybody has any idea of how to do this. Normally I just go to www.redhotpawn.com which is a chess playing site. I then pressed on the blitz button to go into a game. But it tells me access denied, and then the site has a warning about what it means. The site that mentions that if this is the case then this port has to be open. I don't have a problem of opening the port for the one site as I trust it. But I don't want the port open for every site. I know I can go into the firewall settings and under policy I click on the allow service port for. I put in the port number, but then I don't want to select all. I want to find out what the IP, host or network that I need to allow. Basically I only want to open the port to the one site.

Here's a strange one. On my internal network, there are two WinBlows boxes, both connected to my Linux Router/Firewall. Yesterday, I needed to download a file from http://www.freebsd.org. The 1st machine I tried, would not connect from FireFox. When I tried, on the 2nd, it connected immediately. So, I did all the usual "stuff" on the 1st one. Re-booted, as it's WinBlows, cleared browser cache, etc. etc. It still wouldn't connect. BTW, connecting to other web sites was no issue. Just FreeBSD.
So, just for grins, I ran a traceroute from both machines, and here's where it gets freaky. Here's the traceroute from the working machine code...

I use Firefox 3.5.9 and Ubuntu 9.10.
There is a suspicious amount of data (more than a megabyte) being uploaded from my computer whenever I log onto a commercial web site on which I advertise rental properties.
Is there any way I can see the data being uploaded - I am pretty familiar with the Unix/Linux system and commands.

Server - Ubuntu 10.04.1 lts
Client - Kubuntu 10.10
When I try to open any nfs-mounted file using OpenOffice, I get a pop-up window titled "Document in Use". The text of the message is:
"Document file 'abcde.odt' is locked for editing by:
Unknown User
Open document read-only or open a copy of the document for editing." I then have three options - <Open Read-Only>, <Open Copy>, & <Cancel> If I cp any of these files from the mounted directory to my home dir (not mounted), I can open them without problem.Also, my firefox & thunderbird date are in this mounted directory as well (sym links to ~dan/.mozilla & ~dan/.thunderbird). Both of these apps hang when trying to open, leaving two processes behind that need to be manually killed. Again, cp'ing the data out of the nfs-mounted dir onto a local dir resolves the issue, so I am 100% confident there is nothing missing or corrupted in the firefox &/or thunderbird data...
relevant entry in /etc/fstab:
server:/nfs/dan/Documents /home/dan/Documents nfs defaults 0 0
relevant entry in server's /etc/exports:
/nfs/dan/Documents client(rw)
