Firefox will not load certain url's/websites that work in other browsers

Whenever I try to load a website beginning with stk.co (e.g. stks.co/q1CqL ) Firefox gives the following error message:
The HTTP header field "Accept" with value "hc/url;*/*" could not be parsed.
The same URL loads easily in Internet Explorer and other browsers.
How can fix this and/or configure firefox to load this url?
Thanks!

Just for documentation, here's what I see in the Fiddler debugging proxy for this shortened URL:

FireFox will not load facebook Or my games homepage and many other sites. It wont even let me clear the history like one artical said, But internetexplorerwill.

Firefox will not load Facebook.com, OR any of my gaming homepages. An artical Told em to clear history but it frezzes right in the middle. When i click on facebook itll Go to it And stop At "transfering data from (many diff things each time) And it frezzes, I ahve to open up task manager to get rid of it. Please help! it does this with many other sites also. This also started happening right after i came back with my computer from my grandmas.

You could try the new Reset feature. This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins will still be active, but could be disabled manually if you like.
More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
If the new settings folder has the same problem, you can switch back to your current folder, if you like, using Firefox's Profile Manager. (See [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]] -- don't delete anything just yet; use this dialog to switch back and forth as needed.)
Does it work better after a reset?

Firefox will not load certain major websites.

Firefox and IE on my computer refuse to load certain major websites. The sites are not down, for they work fine on other computers in my house. Yesterday it was just facebook, now it's weather.com as well. It keeps saying server won't load the site. Whatever is causing this is on my system alone. I've run Malwarebytes and Advanced Systemcare along with ESET and a few others. Everything's been cleared off and updated.
I'm betting firefox is corrupt AGAIN, but last time I reinstalled it royal FUBARed itself and I lost everything (mainly annoying for flash game saves and bookmarks) I woud like to avoid that this time around.

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

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 will not display certain features of websites in windows 8.1

I've upgraded to windows 8.1. Installed Firefox (now ver. 26) right away. I go to the same websites to pay bills, do work stuff etc for the past few years.
Those websites work fine most of the time. RANDOMLY (at least to me) 2 websites have been giving me trouble for certain features:
1. Banking website will not display my online bill pay. It does not crash, it just says "unable to display page" and for me to check my firewall etc, reload page, etc. When I go to other features for my bank, it works fine except for the bill pay.
2. My work website has a feature to display paychecks etc. It give me the same message of "unable to display".
Here's the weird thing: I open and close firefox a few times and the page "magically" works.
I load the same page in IE 11 and I have the same problem.
I load the same page in chrome 32.0.1700.107m and I never have this problem.
I load the same pages in firefox ver. 26 on a windows 7 machine and it work just fine.
I'm at a loss since Firefox is my primary browser and only have the other browsers for the occasional incompatibilities.
Any ideas? I've concluded that it's a windows 8.1 issue/compatibility but would like to try other solutions before I downgrade back to windows 7.
FYI: I've turned off windows firewall and the same issue still occurs. I've updated to the latest adobe flash, shockwave, and Java. I only have one extension installed - adblocker (which is disabled for these websites).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

Firefox will not open new window for websites that require it

I am running Firefox 3.6.16 on Windows XP.
For some time now, certain websites will just not work - for instance, when I use Mapquest, it used to open the new window when I clicked on "print" - that no longer happens.
Today, I was trying to use the eScrip online mall, and when I clicked on the store name, it did not open a new window - this was working fine back in December when I was doing my online shopping.
My suspicion is the new version has some kind of problem. does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks!

I use MapQuest a lot but haven't used the PRINT option for a while. I just tried it and you are right, the PRINT does not open any window or even work. But if you change it to the NEW MapQuest, the PRINT function will work. I guess MapQuest has disabled the PRINT option in their CLASSIC version. Maybe they are trying to encourage users to use their NEW version instead.
If you still want to use the CLASSIC version, you can always copy the map and paste it onto a Image Editor program and print from there.

Firefox will not open some pdfs, says file is damaged, in other browsers no problem.

I don't have this problem using Safari or PC Browsers.

Tried that but it made no difference whatever

Hi,
Both Safari and Firefox will not load certain websites consistantly (Twitter is one of them). I check on my wife's computer and they can load on her computer no problem. It shows the "Problem Loading Page" message. I've cleared history, cache, everything that I can think of. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Firefox will not load any web page, other programs will. Continuously "connecting"

Firefox will not load any pages, but Google Chrome will. Firefox will 'load' the home page, but with any other site, the tab will continuously circle and say "connecting". I have tried clearing my cache, starting in safe mode, and restarting my computer. So far, nothing is working.

Update..when I open firefox from scratch, the main firefox pages on the home page seem to work. But as soon as I try to go anywhere else, IE going to a website in the address bar or even trying to access the defauly bookmark links, it just sits there loading but never brings anything up.

Firefox will not load any page at all.

Firefox will not load any website that i go to. i cannot even get to my home page, i have to access this page from internet explorer. i have tried to to reinstall firefox and restart the computer but nothing is working also i don't know if this is the same problem but firefox seems to get stuck looking for updates for the addons that i have. if you need more info from please let me know. if you could please help it would be most appreciated.

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 internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Firefox will not load no matter what I try (safe mode whatever). It only loads if I run it inside Comodo sandbox! How do I get it to run the normal way?

Firefox will not load the normal way (clicking on a link or running it from Run window or even running it in safe mode). It only runs if I dig down to the installed directory, right-click firefox.exe and select "Run inside Comodo Sandbox". I have Comodo Internet Security Suite installed but this does not happen with other programs. Do send in your suggestions. Re-install did not help.
