Firefox keeps loading cached site

Firefox keeps loading a cached version of a website, specifically businessinsider.com. I have tried deleting my cache via tools>clear recent history>everything. And of course i did make sure all of the boxes were checked.
I also have deleted the cache at
C:\Users\Syntax Attack\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\go9ce91m.default
both the offline cache and the regular, and yet it is still loading a page from much earlier. This is an intermittent issue and does not always happen, it is pretty much just this site it happens with anymore but has happened to a few others in the past, this has persisted even after upgrades.
Windows 7 64bit
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.21) Gecko/20110830 Firefox/3.6.21

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)

Firefox keeps loading multiple tabs of: Index of file:///c:program files/mozilla then eventually crashes

Firefox keeps loading multiple tabs of: Index of file:///c:program files/mozilla
Here are the details:
I start Firefox (6.0.2.4262) (I'm running version 6 due to compatibility issues with my online college having problems uploading files with FF version 7 or 8)
I enter a web address (i.e. www.yahoo.com) and as soon as the page begins to load I have multiple tabs and windows opening.
When I attempt to close one of the windows it gives the warning I am try to close "22 tabs" - yep... 22 tabs.
If I allow FF to keep loading all the tabs, etc., about a minute later it will crash. The submit a crash window appears.
I have all extensions and add-ons disabled.
I even uninstalled Java, Flash, and several other programs in hopes that the problem would stop.
In addition, I ran a malwarebytes scan and an Avira virus scan which both came up clean. I also used CCleaner to wipe out history and clean the registry. I even made hidden files visible and deleted the Mozilla install folders under my user name.
So, then in hopes of searching for some answers on the Mozilla forums I started up the horrible Internet Explorer and also get a million different pages loading of the preset homepage of "msn.com", which also crashes
(I apologize for starting and using IE, but I was limited on resources to check the internet for info)
If anyone can offer some assistance, or advice on this issue I would greatly appreciate it.
I am also using:
Windows 7 Ultimate
SP1
Thank you,
Biff

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox keeps loading old tabs when restarting

HI,
Deleting sessionstore files did not help. But resetting firefox helped. Thanks everyone.

Firefox 4 loads every site SLOWER than 3.6!! What is happening with your "speediest browser ever"?

Since downloading 4.0 my browser take more time than ever to load every site. I often get "timed out, try again" messages and have to re-load.
I had no problems at all with previous versions of the browser.

You should upgrade to Firefox '''3.6.18'''; your post shows '''3.0.19''' which is obsolete and insecure.
Get the installer here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
If your browser is just reporting the wrong version to this web site, then it's a false alarm, but please check for your own safety.

Firefox keeps loading an outdated webpage.

I am trying to visit the website www.theage.com.au whenever I go this URL, it loads the page from 27/01/2015. I think that is the last successfully load of the page I had. To fix, I have tried:
- uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.
- doing CTRL-F5 to re-load the page.
- clearing cache, cookies and history.
In the status bar down the bottom it cycles between "transferring data from the www.theage.com.au" and "Waiting for..." some ad stuff. The little green wheel just keeps spinning but the page never changes. I think eventually it just times out.
It is trying me mental.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

Firefox sometimes loads certain sites, most times won't load.

After I installed the noscript addon, it seems my firefox won't load certain pages. Firefox also updated itself on the same day.. which of these two are my problem? Some videos will also not load(e.g. youtube videos will say an error has occurred and keeps telling me to try later). It was fine yesterday... but today it seems all messed up. and Yes I have allowed noscript to allow these sites... I just don't know whats wrong..

My Firefox doesnt load ANY site. It tells me it is not able to connect, and the site might be to busy exc. Please help.

I downloaded Firefox, thinking it would be better for my computer and what not. Well when I tried to use it, a screen came on saying, "Unable to connect. Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."
Under that it has a try again button. But the button doesnt do anything besides refresh and tell me the same thing.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Firefox not loading any site as user2 but working fine as user1

As user1 Firefox works fine. As user2 no site can load. Firefox is stuck with the loading sign and the dots going around in circle. Even trying Safe mode with all addins etc disabled, it does not work. I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it but no change.

Firefox cannot load email site without failure

I try to log in to email site and receive an authentication failed message. This started happening when I updated to Firefox 5.0 and 5.0.1. The problem does not happen on Internet Explorer. I never had this problem with the previous versions of Firefox. Is there a way to fix this or go back to Firefox 4.0? I prefer to use this browser, but if the problem persists I will change to Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.

Hello Karen.
Try clearing your browsing cache on Firefox: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
If that doesn't help, try deleting your email's cookies (no data will be lost): https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Deleting+cookies
If that doesn't help, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

I have windows 7, perfect connection to the internet, but it takes forever for firefox to load pages, sits and thinks for minutes before loading. what can i do?

i have windows 7, the internet connection is perfect, i use other computers with no problem loading pages. With this pages take forever to load, worse then if i had dialup. I think internet explorer is the same, but i don't use it and it's very out of date. I tried a system restore, it worked for a day then back to the same thing. Pages take minutes to load, any page. some time out. i don't know what to do next, i've cleared history, cache, cleaned the computer up not sure where the problem is or what it is.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How does firefox keep track of sites visited

When I go the page info tab while on the google home page I notice that it shows the number of times I have visited the web page even though I have cleared all cookies AND flash cookies! Where/Why is this information stored?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Always

The history, along with your bookmarks, is stored in a file called places.sqlite, which includes the date and time you last visited the site and how many times you have visited the site. The details are used by the location bar as shown in the [[location bar autocomplete]] article.
If you do not want it to remember the history details, you can change the settings in the [[Options window - Privacy panel]]

I keep getting message "mozila Firefox not responding." It takes minutes to down load a site - some times it just gets in a loop and never down loads. Then when I try to click on it again screen goes opaque and i get the same message.

I 'm getting message "Mozila Firefox not responding." It takes minutes to down load a site - some times just gets in a loop and never down loads. The little circle at top just keeps going round in circles .
Then when I try to click on the screen again the screen goes opaque and I get the same message re " Mozilla Firefox not responding" - and it is minutes before I can get back in to close down screen.
I have downloaded Fire fox version 4 and this is still happening.

I suddenly can't get any of the websites I use each day on Firefox to load. I tried clearing the cache. No difference. How can i fix?

I use Firefox daily to access many sites. Yesterday it worked perfectly. Today it won't work at all. I just keep getting "Unable to Connect" message when I try to load the sites -- and sites work on other programs (though I need to use firefox to do certain things on some of them...) so it isn't an internet access problem. I've read the help articles and they don't help at all. I tried clearing the cache; it makes no difference. I tried checking that no proxy is highlighted under the advanced access settings. It is, and reviewing that makes no difference. I tried looking to see if Firefox is allowed to access the web thru my windows computer -- but I cant tell what program it would need to connect. And I haven't changed my settings since yesterday -- when it worked perfectly (or seemed to). So that shouldn't be the problem.
Ive wasted most of the morning fighting with this. What the hell is going on here and how can I fix it?

hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions - firefox 23 was released yesterday: [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]

Mac OS X - Firefox will not load intranet sites. Sites will load in any other browser

for my company's intranet site, Firefox will not load it. The site will load via Safari and Chrome. I have tried every solution outlined here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can?esab=a&as=aaq
I have done all the obvious as well (reset firefox, cleared cache, reinstalled, etc.). I am now on a different MacBook with a clean install of Firefox and am facing the same issue.
Thanks in advance for ideas/fixes.

Maybe you have this issue.

How can stageWebView keep another cache as logging into my site through simulator on mac also logs me in safari

how can stageWebView keep another cache as logging into my site through simulator on mac also logs me in safari plz help with a solution or alternative?? thanks

You could install Tab Mix Plus, which offers a Duplicate Tab feature you could use after logging in: this should keep the login state intact while creating the new tab.
