Firefox- newbie

Hi.
I have downloaded Firefox to my USB, and clicked on the mozzila firefox sign. So the page started to load, and then it said Timed out (in the bottom left corner of the screen.) is there something wrong with my copy of the application.
HELP!

No

thats not your copy.
It is most likely your internet conection.
Is the network cable plugged in correctly? Wink
Does another browser work?
Are you in some kind of network where any other browser that the standard could be blocked?

Firefox- Newbie

Hi Simeon.
I downloaded firefox application, so i could use it on public computers (internet café, and particularly in the Library). I don’t know about their network cable. But the library has Microsoft windows, which i am using right now if that is any help to you.

Thanks
Newbie.

Maybe they have

a firewall or something else blocking all other Applications except their internet explorer from accessing the internet.
Then you're SOL (sadly outta luck) Sad
Maybe they are using a proxy to go online, then you'd have to tell your Firefox about that:

  • Download Proxy Get here and run it at the library PC
  • Go to Extras-Options-Advanced-Network (not sure about the last 2 cause I use a german PC; its the last tab. Then you can specify the proxy.

Hope that helps.
