Certain websites are not resonsive on my Macbook pro!

So I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro. And I'm almost positive that this is an issue with the machine and not the internet. But whenever I go to certain websites (Pandora and You Tube) none of the navigational buttons are responsive! I try choosing other stations, or pausing video on You Tube and NOTHING happens. Like the sites are not letting me do anything!
Can anyone help me out here?? I'm thinking that it may be some kind of technical SOMETHING in my machine that's making it act buggy..... Thanks for your help

Hi Dj Cj,
It most definitely sounds like something with the browser. With that being said... what browser are you using? What version of the browser? If you're using Safari, what if you try FireFox? If you're using FireFox what if you try Safari? How about a new user account... does the issue persist there as well?

Certain websites are garbled but are OK in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer

Some websites are garbled and hard to read. The same websites are displayed correctly with Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and the Opera Browser
Just open the URL below and the problem will be very evident

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Certain websites are unable to load?

I have the MacBook from 2010. Whenever I try to use certain websites, the same thing shows up. It says that Safari or Google Chrome is not connected to the server. My internet is connected and websites like Facebook and Youtube are working perfectly for me. I cleared the cookies, the cache and the history and nothing is working. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks.

Instant solution. No idea why mine was set to 0 though. Thanks!
For those who come in later on with a similar problem, you just need to edit your config for
network.http.sendRefererHeader
and change its value to 2
(2 is the default value. See link by cor-el for more info)

Saying i am unable to load websites because certain websites are forbidden

i bought the comp of of someone and certain websites it says are forbidden,but the ones i would like to use are silly like you tube and radio stations and it will not allow me,and i dont know how to change the settings

You can check the connection settings and make sure that you do not use a proxy.
*Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
See "Firefox connection settings":
* [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]
You can also check the settings in security software to make sure that you aren't getting blocked there.

Certain websites are giving me computer language instead of their home pages

if I go to certain websites like people.com or usmagazine.com, I get a page full of computer language language instead of their home page. I have tried re-installing Firefox, but that didn't help.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
* Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems:
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Safari quits when new tab is opened, quits when certain websites are opened, safari quits when new tab is opened, quits when certain websites are opened

my safari quits when a tab i opened, and also quits upon opening for of certain websites, this just started several days ago for no apparent reason, why?

Post a crash report so we can try and help you.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply.
If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

Certain websites are being automatically redirected to another unwanted page repeatedly even if I use the back button

The last 12 hours or so when I've visited certain (reputable!) websites, as soon as a page has loaded I've been redirected to some random other site (usually some Mens Health or Weight Loss Secret crap). When I hit the back button the exact same thing happens. I've checked my Firefox add-ons and I've got nothing dodgy, I'm on a Macbook so I don't think it's a virus. I'm pretty computer illiterate so simple answers would be lovely, thanks

There are viruses for the Mac, of course, but a bad add-on seems more likely...
Could you test those pages in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?
If Firefox works better but none of the extensions look suspicious to you, do you want to post a list of them for review? A relatively easy way to extract them is as follows:
Open the support information page using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the upper left corner, click the Copy text to clipboard button. Then start a new reply to this thread and paste in the result. The Extensions are the second block of information. If you scroll down to "Important Modified Preferences", you can delete from there to the end.
Also, could you check that no unusual connection settings have been entered into Firefox?
"3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
Normally "Use system proxy settings" is selected, but you also could try "No proxy" to see whether that works any better.

Urls are not coming in as links in sent emails; certain websites are not displaying correctly

When I send an email with a url/link, it does not come in to the recipient as a link.
Went to a website (bjs.com), which was not displaying images and had no functionality.
These things worked in IE8 so it's a Firefox problem.

That is probably Hotspot Shield.

On certain websites, e.g. Craigslist, some portions of the window overlay other portions. How do I fix this?

Most websites view correctly, however there are a few which show portions of site overlaying other portions. E.g., on Craigslist, when I view a category page such as "for sale-auto parts", the heading "auto parts" is partially over the "search for" box, and the "in:" box extends to the right far enough that it blocks the "search" button. I've tried about a dozen CL locations and they all show the same issue.
I've tried zooming the page in and out but the problem doesn't change.
Another issue is that on search pages such as duckduckgo.com, loading of search-result pages is very show.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Websites_look_wrong
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Websites+look+wrong
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

When I open certain websites I use frequently(like financial trading sites), they seem to close automatically after about an hour. How do I keep them open until I decide to close them?

I recently installed 4.01. Now when I open Firefox, it only seems to stay open for about an hour or so, and then closes automatically.
How do I fix this and keep it open?

That may have been coded on those websites and is done automatically via JavaScript. If it didn't happen previously then it is possible that the used code doesn't work in previous Firefox version. Many of such sites do that and one hour looks to me as already quite long if you leave a page unattended.

Only in firefox: certain websites are blocked by google analytics, "getting data from.." on statusbar, why?

When entering some websites the startpage is shown fore maybe half a sec. then a blank page and message "getting data from google.analytics.com" on statusbar and a progressbar stuck on 3/4. No problem entering the site in IE.

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]]

On my Macbook when logging on certain websites the page only shows some gurbled chinese characters.

When I log on to my banking on-line web address or my company's secure website the page comes garbled with some Chinese characters but the same page comes OK on Safari.

Which encoding is used?
*Firefox > Web Developer > Character Encoding
*View > Character Encoding
If an UTF-16 encoding is used then try UTF-8 or a Western encoding (ISO-8859-1)

Pages on certain websites are staying static

i am trying to instant message on a certain webpage,the webpage is fine but when the message comes up the page dosn't reload not allowing me to respond to the message..is there anyway of fixing this problem.i have tried various search engines but always come across the same problem

You can reload the page and bypass the cache with:
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Certain websites are not running on my Macbook Air how can I fix that?

I was trying to get on LouisVuitton.com and it would not load, the page would just be black.

You won't be able to do anything with that page without installing the latest Adobe Flash Player.
Download Flash Player using this URL: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Step 3 is just advertising. Skip it.
