Facebook will not load in Safari

Hi!
I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8. That is as far as I can go on my 2006 MbPro.
This is happening to me now also. Firefox works fine. Every webpage in Safari loads - but not Facebook.
When I click on the bookmark, or type in the URL, FB will not load. The URL is in the bar but the page is blank.
The FB URL starts with 'https" - if that matters.
It has been working fine for years. Yesterday it did it.
I always hit 'reset safari' when I quit it. I have also cleared the cache from the drop down menu.
I went to System Preferences < Network < Advanced < Proxies. Nothing is checked. BUT this was in Bypass:
*.local, 169.254/16
I wrote it down, deleted it, hit Ok < Apply.
I also went to Keychain and deleted anything with Facebook - including certificates. And that was probably a dumb move.
I have been using Social Fixer in both Safari and Firefox. I deleted all Social Fixer stuff in Safari.
So I am stumped.
PS What if I downloaded and Reinstalled Safari? Would that do anything? What would happen to my bookmarks?

This has been solved.

  • Thumbnails on MySpace and Facebook will not load on Safari

    I just got a MacBook Pro a couple of months ago and I love it! I am having a minor problem getting pictures (normally thumbnails) on websites like facebook and myspace will not load. When I am logged on to the wireless internet at school these thumbnails load fine, the problem occurs only when I am at home and try to access these websites. I am connected wirelessly to a 2Wire DSL router. Any help with this annoyance would be greatly appreciated!

    Just did a forced reboot, seems to have fixed the problem.

  • Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will not load in Firefox, just white screen. Will load using Chrome, etc?

    Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will not load in Firefox, just white screen. Will load using Chrome, etc? Checked for malware, cleared cache, re-installed Firefox, disabled add ons, enabled java, updated flash and shockwave, etc.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Podcast will not load in safari from server, but will load in other Apps

    Podcast will not load in safari from iWeb Page from server, but will load in Firefox and other web apps.
    Here the problem: I have a podcast page made in iWeb. It is setting on a server with GoDaddy. When I try load page with Safari, I get where the Quicktime Playing Bars are a small Quicktime Logo w/? mark and will not download or play. But in Firefox, My iPad and in Windows side it will load and play. Also it play on a friends Macbook Pro in Safari. (Note it will play in my Safari after Firefox has play -it "very strange to me" like Firefox will open some port, but it will not stay open if quit Safari re-booth-it) I have remove the .plist for Quicktime & Safari. And clean out the Cache for Safari. Also have re-set the Firewall setting to Enable Stealth Mode only. Re-load the site to GoDaddy. This is happening to both Mac's in my network and in all users accounts.
    My Network is a A&TT with a 2Wire w/wrieless turn off. going into and Airport Extreme Base Station w/N generation network. One computer is connected with and ethernet cable to the Airport extreme base station the other is a wireless contection.
    I do feel this and network issue and I can't seem to solve-it. How can I get Safari to open the port and download and play-it on my network?

    We've only discover this yesterday. One of our listeners sent me an e-mail about-it. With a little more research this morning. I've discover that everybody I've had check-it is have the same problem only with Safari 4.0.5. So I'm starting to feel that this is an Apple Safari Bug in 4.0.5 for the Mac only. It seems to be OK everywhere else on other devices. I agree in most cases this is not a problem. But when have older people who do not download into iTunes around the world it is to them. We have 250 or more listeners a week. This is a Church podcast.
    For right now we are planing to post a message on the site saying you will not be able to listen to the podcast in Safari, but can in Firefox and ect.

  • Ebay will not load on safari, firefox or camino, but all other sites load without any problem. Can anyone help?

    ebay will not load on safari, firefox or camino, but all other sites load without any problems. Why is this? Can anyone help?

    It should be: Click on Home Folder (the House) and to the right Library is shown, click on the arrow on the Library folder to reveal its contents and then click on Cookies to reveal its contents and then move the Cookies.plist to the Trash as Carolyn suggests.
    Then try eBay again.

  • Help!  New to Mac! Pictures will not load on Safari (blue question marks)

    Sometimes when I surf the web (especially sites like Facebook.com), pictures will not load. They turn into little blue check marks. Eventually, none of the pictures on the webpage will load. I have to shut down Safari, reboot my computer, and then pictures load again for a little while. Any advice? Please help!

    ... you may have something slowing your connection if you are wireless...I get this from time to time and believe that it is generally a connection speed issue related to interference or distance from my airport. The signal is usually great, but drops off from time to time.

  • Particular web page will not load in safari or firefox

    when i try to load web site www.mapmyride.com, safari will not load the web page. I have tried other web sites and it works fine. It does not give any message to indicate that there's a problem. I can load the same web page on my iphone

    Since both browsers can't load the page, do you have anti virus software installed? How about Little Snitch? And try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences - Security.
    (I just tried in Safari 5.1.1. The page loaded as it should), so it's not the site.

    No success as yet but this is what I have tried so far....
    Reboot router and computer several times.
    Cleared cache and reset safari
    Ran Onyx and reboot
    Restored to an earlier time machine image.
    Successfully disabled ipv6 via terminal commands
    Anything else to try that you may suggest?

  • Web pages will not load through Safari on all my computers using my AT

    I am using Safari 8.0.5 and OS 10.10.13.  The last couple days when using Safari through all my computers using my AT&T internet connection, web pages either will not load or they load very slowly.  Safari will indicate it cannot find the site.  If I run Safari, using all the same computers, through my Verizon MiFi Connection, it works fine.  U-Verse works fine.  Mail works fine through AT&T.  I am able to use Internet Explorer through my AT&T connection on a work lap top without difficulty.  I have deleted caches in Safari and deleted history in Safari.  I have contacted AT&T and they do not know what is the problem. When I check my download and upload speeds for the internet using Safari and the AT&T connection, they are slow.  When I do the same using the Verizon connection, they are fine.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Thank you.

    You're not alone. I, too, was having the same problem today. I found your question and had seen that you had contacted AT&T with little success. I had gone to ufix.att.com and ran the self diagnosed test and system reset. My pages are loading a little faster now. Hope this helps.

  • Facebook is the only website that will not load on safari (nor firefox)

    I really don't understand the problem. I can load the login page, but it won't log me in. I can't load the homepage (www.facebook.com), but I can get to www.facebook.com/login.php. It won't load on Firefox either. I have a fine internet connection, because every other website works fine. I emptied the cache, but that didnt do anything. i even used another ethernet cable...still nothing. any ideas?

    Hi
    Facebook will load on my mac, as it did on Reggies and the other macs' you spoke of. There has to be some problem with your user account.
    Try it in a test or other user account try Safari in a Test account, to create one: This will show if this is a systemwide problem or isolated to your user name account.
    System Preferences /Accounts/ Login Options use the [+]
    to create one, for ease you could enter "Test" in all fields.
    Log out of your user name & into the test acc. if it works there..
    As well as the trashing of the com.apple.Safari.plist. that Reggie wisely recommended do the following.
    Quit Safari go to HD/Users/Your user Home~/Library/Caches/Safari cache folder, drag the folder to the trash
    HD/Users/Your user Home~/Library/Cookies folder/Cookies.plist drag that file to the trash.
    Do a restart of the computer. Will Face book load in your user acc.?
    let us know.~

  • YouTube will not load in Safari or Chrome

    I'm using the latest version of Yosemite. I'm not sure how it happened, but now any embedded YouTube videos will not play in either Safari or Chrome. What's worse, when I go to the actual YouTube.com page, I see a bunch of textual gibberish and no graphics whatsoever. Here's the kicker, they play just fine in Firefox. Anyone have a solution for this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Silverlight will not load in safari...help

    I am trying to use Safari to browse websites that use Silverlight and they are not loading it simply just sits at a blank screen. What can I do to fix this?

    Virus Barrier ... that has to be it. I've seen instances where a/v software didn't cause a problem for Firefox but it does for Safari. Safari being a much more secure browser.
    Try disabling VB to see if it makes a difference.

  • Facebook Mobile will not load in safari

    I just finally updated my OS to the OS 5 and now everytime I go to certain sites that are automatically loaded in mobile view, the pages won't load. I usually use Facebook through the Safari browser, but today, everytime I go to the site, it allows me to sign in but once I sign in, the homepage won't load. It's just a blank white screen. This goes for other websites as well, not just FB. So, I'm wondering what the problem is, if it's the website or if it's the update. I am using an iPod touch 3rd gen. I have private browsing set for my safari. That's another thing too. I tried turning it off, to see if that was making a difference, but Safari would not stay loaded. It would just shut down everytime I opened up the Safari browser. So I have turned on private browsing and still no changes.

    Empty Safari's cache, quit and relaunch Safari, and try those sites again.

  • Facebook will not load

    Hey,
    So I cannot load facebook for 5 days now using Safari 4. It is the only website with this problem. I have emptied my cache, reset safari, run 2 virus scans, changed passwords, tried Firefox and Opera (neither would open it).
    I see this has been a problem before but can I fix it or is it a facebook problem? I can live without facebook just want to make sure it is not a phishing problem.
    Thanks for any help.

    I am having similar Facebook Safari issues. Out of the blue too.
    I uploaded Safari 4.0.2 on July 11th and everything was fine.
    I went on vacation at the beginning of August and shut everything down.
    Came home last week and had Facebook crash issues.
    I updated to 4.0.3 the 18th hoping that would fix the issue. I did not.
    I reset my browser and that didn't help.
    So now I'm looking at my logs and thinking w t f is with this sudden random crash spree.
    Can anyone make sense of this?
    Log Note:
    2009-08-23 18:01:49.783 Safari[608] * -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (2) beyond bounds (2)
    /XRefStm encountered but not yet supported.
    Debugger() was called!
    This was the most recent crash but they all say this pretty much.
    I'm guessing Facebook added something to their backend processing that Safari doesn't jive with, is the issue?
    Any programmer insight would be lovely. =)
