I'm able to access the internet in other browsers except Firefox... After updating the browser I'm facing the issue. I tried by reinstalling the browser, still same issue I'm facing. Please, suggest me a solution. Thanks in advance.
I faced the same issue. I did all the things that they have listed in the mozilla forum for the same question and still it did not help.
It turns out, if your organisation is using a proxy, you might have to contact your admin. The standard answer in the mozilla forum is that you have to set the proxy setting to "none". But if your organisation is using a proxy then by default IE will have set the settings to desiganted proxy, but apparently mozilla has its own proxy settings.
So go to proxy settings in mozilla and make sure the settings there is similar to the one in IE. I set the proxy to detect automatically and it worked.
Hope this helps!
Did you have any anti-virus software installed? If so, please take a look at the following article from mozilla:

Is there a way to disable the same origin policy on the Mozilla Firefox browser by toggling a flag in the browser?
This is strictly for development, for not production use.
Please note:
A similar question asked 3+ years ago yielded an accepted answer that recommends users to install a plugin. I consider this less secure and more cumbersome than toggling a flag (e.g. in the about:config, or passing a parameter when starting the browser like in Chrome).
After having tried to find a Firefox setting for various hours, and after having opened a bounty, I think the right answer to this question is:
At the moment of writing (March 2018), it is not possible to disable the same policy origin in Firefox by simply setting a flag.
I would personally recommend people to use Chrome instead for this kind of work, because disabling this setting is very easy, quick and doesn't involve installing third-party software.
There is a boolean in Mozilla Firefox that should allow toggling of the same origin policy called security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy.
Go to about:config in your browser and accept the risk:
Then search for security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy and double click it to toggle it to false like so:
I have not tested this but in my experience, this is the flag controlling the same origin policy.
Rather than directly answer your question, this alternative might be viable if you also have ownership of the server
Get your server to add the following response header. (+ Apply a DevOps process or piece of code to ensure only apply this code during development)
Access-Control-Allow-Origin
.. With the value of your origin domain, e.g.
http://example.com or alternatively * for all domains.
So I wasn't able to do this using Firefox. I was able to do this inside of chrome using the following. My purpose was for testing endpoint access to a server without CORS being setup.
google-chrome disable-web-security -allow-file-access-from-files — allow-file-access
Your google chrome executable can vary to whatever you have linked it to.

does anyone know of a detailed security checklist somewhere to make xampp more secure for windows vista. I know about changing passwords and the basics, but I want to make sure my system is not vulnerable and I have a short time frame on a project. Thanks!!!
I just read through this guide and it covers all of the security necessities for xampp:

Also, you may want to consider putting a firewall in front of the server, Untangle is a nice open source solution for that
I've been having problems testing AJAX on my computer, the code works fine online but not on my system, is there something I am missing?
I've had this problem with pretty much any kind of AJAX and even some javascript code. I know the code itself is correctly since it's functioning online as intended, but why wouldn't run on my PC? Everything I am trying to do is basic coding, no database, or advanced functions of any kind, simple interface changes and such.
I don't have any specific code to post since its a general problem i'm having, but any thoughts are appreciated. Could it be a document type issue? I tried blank and a couple of others but none seemed to matter.
Ill bet that you are having a same origin policy issue. If you are loading the page by going to localhost:<port>/app and then your javascript tries to go to anywhere other than localhost the browser will stop it for violating the policy.
I have had strange problems testing AJAX locally before. To fix this I install ultidev's Cassini web server and run the application on that and it seems to work.
You need to set up a webserver with either php running or something like it. A desktop PC is not a web server by default.
Please take a look at this code:
http://3wcloud-com-provisioning-qa.appspot.com/testAjaxDojo
Just tab off the "domain" input field to try to make the Ajax run.
(Note: the test Ajax web service always sends back the same message, it pretends to check if domain is available but it really doesn't).
When running in Firefox 3.5, I get "dojo not defined" on the dojo.xhrGet statement.
It works fine in IE7 and Chrome browsers, and one friend tested on Firefox 3.0 and it worked.
1) Is there something wrong with Firefox 3.5 not properly getting the dojo javascript from the CDN? Possibly a caching issue?
2) Do you Dojo gurus know of this problem? Is it something that has already been reported to Firefox?
Thanks,
Neal Walters
Update: 9/1/ afternoon - I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox 3.5.2 (but I kept my profile settings), and got same problem. I'm on Windows Vista Ultimate.
Finally found the problem. It was the add-on called "No-Script". Even though I had set No-Script to allow scripts globally, something in that tool was causing the issue. I upgraded to new version of No-Script and still had problem. If I disable the add-on (from the Tools/Add-ons screen), then Dojo loads perfectly from the CDN and life is good again.
I probably lost 6-8 hours on this stupid issue. Hope this posts saves someone else the time. Please "vote-up" the answer if it does.
As I stated in my comment, on Firefox 3.5 (mac) works fine. Try to do the following on your Firefox browser, insert the dojo library url in the url bar:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.3.2/dojo/dojo.xd.js
Usually it helps to solve any cache problems and forces Firefox to fetch the file.
If it still doesn't work, just store dojo in your server and use it locally.
It's working fine here with NoScript enabled.
I just needed to allow both "3wcloud-com-provisioning-qa.appspot.com" and "ajax.googleapis.com".
I want to see each url request made my by browser.
I want to see the url requests made by ajax.
Which software should I use? Some java code would also help.
You can use Fiddler or if you need to "go deep" (as their web page says), you can use Wireshark.
Firefox has a great plugin called LiveHTTPHeaders that I think will get you what you are looking for. I'm not positive on the AJAX part of the question, but it's worth a shot. I consider LiveHTTPHeaders to be an indispensable tool for anyone doing web development.
Use Firebug
(source: getfirebug.com)
Otherwise use Wireshark http://www.wireshark.org/ if you want the swiss army knife of network capture tools.
There are lots of great programs out there that will do this. My answer would really depend on what you are trying to do.
Adding an HTTP proxy that logs requests will easily do the job.
You can also leverage browser plugins such as FireBug and Google's Page Speed to see the requests fly in realtime.

I don't really understand where do you want to see the traffic. But if what you mean is browser and if you are using Firefox then Firebug will come handy.
So many great extensions for Firefox that'll give you that info:
Firebug
PageSpeed
LiveHTTPHeaders
You could also try using the developer tools in Safari or Chrome if you're not a Firefox fan.
If you use IE... why are you using IE? ;-)
Any personal proxy will do. Fiddler was already suggested.
For Firefox I would use the TamperData plugin.
