Firefox staying offline on certain websites

When my internet briefly disconnects and reconnects while firefox is open, firefox suddenly refuses to load certain websites, those websites (if its any help) are facebook, yahoo mail, and any google search page. These happen to be pages i access alot so im not sure if its related.
But with other pages they work normally through an internet loss and reconnection.
Basically it just loads on and on and on (however not as if the page is loading, the green circle on the tab remains grey forever) the only way to fix this is to restart firefox (very annoying since i tend to work in several tabs located within multiple windows)
This has persisted through several new profiles, firefox reinstalls, and even through Windows reinstalls, so please dont suggest that.
I dont have any antivirus running or any firewall blocking access to certain websites or anything, so this is just so weird.

Hello,
Try refreshing the page with '''Ctrl+F5''' so that it doesn't pull from your cache. Also, you can try clearing your cache with:
* History (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > History) > Clear Recent History
* Select the categories you want to clear
Or you can clear your cache in:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > Advanced > Network
* In the Cached Web Content section, Clear Now
And try accessing the pages again. See the article [[How to clear the Firefox cache]] for more information.
You also have a lot of extensions which could be causing the issue. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes). If the pages work after the internet reconnects in safe mode, an extension is likely the culprit, in that case please see the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article.
Potentially unrelated to your problem, but things that should improve your browsing experience: It could be your user agent switcher causing your user agent to show Firefox version 28, but please update to the latest Firefox (version 32.0.3).
Also, I noticed that you have two version of Flash installed - having multiple versions of the same plugin can cause issues. You can uninstall them using this tool:
* http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
And reinstall Shockwave Flash v15.0.0.152 here: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

Firefox can't load certain websites that Chromium can

I tried Ad Block Plus with Linux Ubuntu 11.10, and now certain websites that can be loaded with Chromium cannot be loaded with Firefox.

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)
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Firefox stalling out on certain websites, necessitating a forced quit

So! After yet another in a string of updates for one thing or another, Firefox has decided that it does not like certain websites, and it expresses its displeasure by eternally pretending to load information; the spinning rainbow circle of wait appears, and would continue to spin into eternity if not for the "force quit" option.
As soon as I try to open one of these websites there is a brief pause where you almost start to think that this time it might actually work, but then, no, everything freezes, the spinning rainbow appears, and I have to force quit. I have force quit, no joke, about 500 times over the past three days. Affected websites include Netflix, a website for school, and the same thing happened when I tried the suggested "reset Firefox" thing.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, Adobe Flash, and Silverlight. I have tried opening and running Firefox in 32-bit. Nothing has even remotely worked.
This is really, really frustrating, because prior to all of these unnecessary updates which rendered it useless, Firefox was my preferred method of being on the web.
Please advise! Thank you!

Hi highly_annoyed,
I can understand why you chose that name. Unfortunately I do not use Mac's and can only initially offer general advice. The new reset feature should work and in your situation sounds like a good idea.
* see [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] I am not sure if it would help but you could try following those instructions after you have physically disconnected from the internet
Maybe you could read that article, attempt the reset, and then post back to explain exactly what does or does not happen.
Plugins list and other information
You appear to have had a problem with finding which plugins are installed. The Ask Question prompts suggest copying it from
*Help -> Troubleshooting information
An alternative method to get the same information is to key into the location bar (where you type web addresses) ''about:support'' and then use the Return/Enter key or click the arrow.
The page of troubleshooting information even has a button allowing you to easily copy all the information.
Not Loading or hanging
It will probably be worth attempting to use an alternative browser; such as Safari; as a comparative test to see if that also has problems. Then look at these articles

* [[firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]
* [[firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]

Firefox won't load certain websites.

Firefix won't load some certain websites. I even have to use google chrome now, to ask advice. I did all the things said in the help page but it only seemed to turn internet connection slower! It seems that FF is having problems with save websisites and sites that redirect somewhere. like www.zone.ee, ois.ut.ee and some other ones, i can't access my gmail either. So I really need to solve this problem asap.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. 
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

Safari goes to 100% CPU and stays there on certain websites

I got a new computer a month or two ago (a Powerbook 1.67), and used apple's migration assistant to transfer all my stuff over from that comp to this one. Ever since I've started using the comp, when I use safari to load certain pages or parts of pages, such as www.mapquest.com (when I try to type in the directions from/to box, or try to load recent searches) or www.orbitz.com (any time I'm on the results screen once I've searched for a flight or some such), the CPU load goes to 100%, and stays there until I close the tab with that site in it (even with safari in the background), and anything else I try to do until the tab is closed runs like molasses. This definitely did not ever happen with my old Powerbook 867, but I don't recall installing any new safari extensions or plug-ins since I got the new computer, so I'm somewhat mystified as to what is causing it. Do you guys have any thoughts as to what it might be, or suggestions as to how best to go about figuring it out?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Safari has been known to cause cpu usage to spike. If nothing else, report the pages to Apple using "Report Bugs to Apple" under the Safari menu.
One of the Safari issues in the OS X 10.4.4 update was:
Addresses an issue in which some websites, such as www.cbsnews.com, could cause CPU usage to spike unnecessarily, or cause Safari to stop responding, unless Safari's Enable JavaScript preference was deselected.
It is possible that they didn't get it completely fixed.
I have also noticed that Safari slows down after being open for an extended period or if I have tons of tabs open, although it is not as bad as it once was. Additionally, regardless of anything else, it does appear that some sites slow down Safari's performance and/or spike the cpu usage until I close that tab. (I've had this happen to me with Firefox as well, by the way).

Firefox crashing when loading certain websites

Hi All,
After updating my firefox to the latest version (3.6.12), the browser frequently crashes on cerain websites. In particular, when i visit www.scottishproperty.co.uk. I think it may be flash related but im not sure.
I have tried the following but it has not solved the issue:
1. Followed the artice on this site for firefox crashing on certain pages
2. Uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it
3. sent error reports to firefox - but when i go to About:crashes no reports are show.
Can anyone please advise?
When i try the same url in IE, it works as normal.

If you still have problems with crashes please
# read the article: [[firefox crashes]]
# if you have problems with crashes and are using Fireox's safe mode
#* please navigate to'' about:crashes''
#* post a couple of recent CrashIDs into your next message
Are you restricted to using Firefox in [[safe mode]] in order to prevent crashes?

Firefox won't load certain websites, so I need to install an earlier version.

I've used the public forums on those websites to get support, and most people say that installing Firefox 14.01 will fix the problem. Where can I go to install Firefox 14.01? I'd prefer installing it here, on Mozilla.org, rather than going to a less reliable site.

Yes you may download Firefox 14 from an official Mozilla Firefox site see
*[[Install an older version of Firefox]] that does warn you about security risks and not to do it, but then includes a download link.
There will almost certainly be better fixes or workarounds to almost any problem than using an insecure Firefox 14. (Bar changes to how some web pages look, I can not immediately think of anything that gets fixed by downgrading to firefox 14, other than the usual problems with incompatible extensions that take a while before they are updated )
Personally I would suggest for a knowledgeable user a better solution is to go to the other extreme and run Firefox Beta as standard, and only downgrade to the secure Release if a problem occurs. (That philosophy does not work if you rely on security related binaries - but the majority of users are on legit Windows systems and can make use free MS software anyway.)
What problems are you having ?

Firefox will not load certain websites but IE will

After upgrading to FF 29 I cannot access the addons and several other pages.
Going to addons.mozilla.org or clicking the addons button gives me a bulleted list of links.
Attempting to download an addon just says "Error Downloading"
I can go to addons.mozilla.org in IE and download and install them manually with no issues.
I have cleared the cache and cookies several times and reset the proxy to none.
I looked at about:config and there was no line for xpinstall.enabled so I added it as a boolean.
I ran malwarebytes and it found nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.

Firefox 4 issue with certain websites and mp3s

Downloaded Firefox 4 for my Mac 10.6.7. I'm no longer able to watch certain videos (like those at adultswim.com) or listen to mp3s. Know this has to do with plugins, but I can't figure out which ones are the issue.

Hi Fred-
I tried your suggestion, and both the sites I mention above loaded without issue. But I think hardware acceleration was already off:
When I went into the advanced preferences in safe mode, hardware acceleration was unchecked, which, according to the FF guidance I saw on safe mode, is the default in that mode. When I then relaunched FF in normal mode, acceleration was still unchecked. So unless starting in safe mode turned off the acceleration and that setting carried over to normal mode, I'm assuming it wasn't on in the first place.
Because the issue only occurs on a few sites, I'm assuming it is sloppy web design as opposed to a browser problem. I wonder if the issue could be related to the problem sites using Java or Flash, or some script that stymies Firefox, but I don't know how to check that.
The thing that bothers me is that the browser causes the whole system to hang while it struggles with loading the site. I'm no expert, but I don't think that should happen in a four-core, 2.8 GHz system with 6 GB of RAM.

Safari and Firefox Won't Load Certain Websites

Starting just today, Safari nor Firefox will go to my university's website. www.weber.edu. I've tried everything I can think of. I reset both browers. Restarted the computer. I thought maybe it was my router/network, but my windows laptop had no problems loading the website. I have an '07 iMac with the latest version of snow leopard, Safari, and Firefox. This just happened out of the blue. It worked just fine yesterday.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.

I am trying to access channelsurfing.net but I get this error;
The connection has timed out
The server at channelsurfing.net is taking too long to respond.
* 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.
I can access this site from my PC using the exact same firefox. I tried to clear cookies and cache and still nothing.

Try clearing the DNS cache.
