The site is likely geo-targeting your location from your ISP assigned IP Address. See the explanation here http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001043.htm or do a Google search for geo-targeting.

I can't access Facebook. I keep getting the "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete". I have cleared cache, cookies, history, offline storage. Nothing has worked.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Will not load sites linked from another website--have cleared cache, cookies, history, restarted, checked in Safe Mode--still does not work.

Some sites load fine. But some sites will not load when linked from another web site, or, occasionally, even from my bookmarks. I went through troubleshooting routine--cleared cache and cookies, history, checked in Safe Mode for extensions, etc., but still will not work in Safe Mode. No other problems with computer or browser.

What happens when you click the link that does not open up the new page? Is it a blank page? Does this also happen if you Shift Click the link?

Repeated "Bad Request" errors after clearing cache, cookies, and cookies.sqlite

I get repeated "Bad Request" errors when submitting forms, logging in/out of sites, etc. I get this on a wide variety of sites. I have tried repeatedly clearing all cache and cookies. And I just tried disabling all my add-ons (only have 4) and then deleting the cookies.sqlite file and this still made no difference.
I am using Mac OS 10.5.8 and Firefox 5.0.1 but I have been experiencing this problem in past versions as well, maybe as far back as the latest firefox 3. My main motivation for upgrading Firefox multiple times was hoping this problem was corrected. It never used to happen, it just started happening all of a sudden. It has never occurred on Safari and I am still able to get any site that doesn't work properly to work on Safari without any problem.
I experience this on many sites. One reliable cause of it is logging out of Facebook.

You did delete all cookies.* files ?
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Cookies#Removing_cookies
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Can't see the new version of the website after clearing cache and history

I am updating images and changing my location but FF still shows me old images. I have cleared the cache and history but nothing worked. For location thing, I switched my location from NY to HI and back to NY but my browser still shows content from HI not from HI. I was trying to find the solution but all the solutions I saw didn't worked at all. Does anyone help me with this? Our website is on Adobe CQ.
Thanks.

If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

Updated MBP from snow leopard to mavericks and now can't log into website I subscribe too. Can log in on other computers, just not using Mavericks. Tried safari, firefox and chrome. Tried clearing cache/cookies/history etc. Any suggestions?

Have utilised the website's Help services with no answer. They report it's fully supported by Mac system. Have tried turning firewall off. Nothing. Assuming it's a privacy/security setting given no success in 3 browsers??? Help?

Try making a test user account in System Preferences > Users & Groups.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Then log out of your usual user account and try the test user account, and see if the website will let you in.
I suspect that the problem is an internet plugin that is not compatible with Mavericks. The old internet plugin will not be in the test user account.
If the site lets you in with the test user account, then it's a process of trial and error to figure out which plugin is the culprit.
The internet plugins are found in a few places.
Most are in /Library/Internet Plugins
Some may be in ~/Library/Internet Plugins
~/Library is hidden by default.

Fire fox loads some websites and not others. Clearing cache and history doesn't help.

Fire fox loads some websites and not others. Pages that don't load in Firefox do load in other browsers. Clearing cache and history doesn't help.
One of the websites that doesn't load is google.com! It loads some of the page, just some menu items at the top of the page. Then, it hangs and remains in the Loading state (with the spinning wheel and "Loading" in the tab) indefinitely.
The problem started after 3.6.11 was installed. I'm on Mac OS 10.6.4.
I would be happy if you just showed me where I can download 3.6.10. Also, is there anything special I have to do if installing an older version?

I ended up going into the clear history settings and setting it to clear history when Firefox closes and chosing it to clear history and cooking and browsing history when Firefox closes. Now the links work fine and the last page I was looking at before I closed Firefox is no longer there when it opens again. Problem solved!

After clearing cache and cookies, my same dropdown list keeps returning when I log in to Facebook.

After clearing cache and deleting cookies, my same dropdown list keeps on returning whenever I log in to Facebook. I need to know how to delete login history.

That data is called Form History

Slow openining up and not responding plus continuous crashing. Crashes before I have the opportunity to clear cach or history. Still crashes in safe mode.

Firefox will not stay open long enough to clear cache or history or any other diagnostic checks. Open in safe mode makes no difference. BitGuard.dll is not installed or running and I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox with no change. Thanks

Firefox 4 wont load page completely or play videos on youtube after clearing cache

Firefox 4 wont load page completely or play videos on youtube and ive noticed its always after clearing cache. after a while it will start working properly but its kind of annoying. Know what the problem is?

oh, there is still a pending issue with youtube unfortunately. I can play videos individually but if I click on a video that is part of a playlist it lags and then goes to a blank space where the video should be. Is that a flash player issue? So, I can play videos individually but not playlists.
Any word on that would be awesome
Thanks again

87 tabs are restored after each restart even after clearing cache

firefox onVISTA Restores 87 tabs even after clearing cache: This takes a long time to restart

Clearing the cache might not help, try the following:-
1) Cross check is 'Show my windows and tabs from last time' checked (see attached file 'Open tabs from last time'). Also refer to this website wrt 'session restore'
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Session-Restore
2) try clearing up the entire history and then see if the same problem occurs (Tools -> Clear Recent History)

HT1689 After entering mi card code the site still ask me info about my credit card

After entering my card code the site still asks for credit card info

The $1 charges will not be completed, they will fall off the account in a few days without removing funds as they are the system reaching out to verify that the bank and the account exist and that funds are available. The problem that you are having is likely the billing address. You need to look on a bank statement and enter the address exaclty as printed on the statement; all the same captal letters and puntuation.

I have enabled all cookies, yet some sites say cookies need to be enabled for me to get access. How do I fix this?

I have enabled all cookies, yet some sites say cookies need to be enabled for me to get access. How do I fix this?

First check the settings and try all of the options in the [[websites say cookies are blocked]] article.
In addition to the above, another possible cause is the file that stores cookies is corrupt, if that is the case deleting the file should fix the problem. First you need to locate your profile folder, for details of how to do that see the [[profiles]] article. Once you have opened the profile folder, close Firefox and either delete or rename cookies.sqlite, when you restart Firefox that file will be re-created.
