Firefox will not open certain websites, unless I close and restart the browser. Anyone hear of this ?

Some webpages, for example newegg.com, will not open at all. But if I close ff and then restart ff - newegg.com will load up almost instantly. Yahoo's pages have problems as well - especially if there is a video with a news article. Many times - there simply wont even be a placeholder. I will read the article - and then realize there should be a video accompanying it - I'll have to view in IE - which I hate.

I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

Safari 5.1 will not change my privacy settings without quitting and restarting the browser.

I have installed Safari 5.1. When I attempt to change the block cookies setting in the privacy preferences, the browser will not change the settings until I quit and restart the browser.

Quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left.
Open the Library folder then the Cookies folder.
Move the Cookies.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, quit Safari. Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.

Safari will not open certain websites

Aloha,
I'm new to mac, and so far so good. The problem is that I can't get safari (or firefox) to open certain websites. The one that bugs me the most is https://www.navo.navy.mil/products/geo.htm . I use it to get weather information that is not available in more mainstream sites.
It is a military product, and what I should get is three windows/frames/boxes that
when you click one thing, it gives you options for the next box, which opens information that you want.
This site works, in pc no problem (win98, win2000, XP, running firefox, ie or opera). Is there a work around to this problem? Is there another browser that will open this site up in mac?
I've tried to find this information elsewhere to no avail. In my business it's essential information.
Help please!
Oh, and how do I find out what version os I'm running?
Mahalo Chris

Hi Chris,
Welcome to Discussions.
I'm not sure what the Navy site is supposed to look like, but it appears to load ok in both Safari 3.0.3 (public beta for OS X 10.4) and Camino 1.5.3. Here's a screenshot of what I see:
I can't seem to access any data though as each search tells me the service is temporarily unavailable (is that expected?). What do you see when you try to enter this website?
Oh, and how do I find out what version os I'm running?
Click on the Apple logo in the top left of your screen and choose 'About this Mac'

Safari and Firefox will not open certain web pages

I just bought a MacBook yesterday and since then have not been able to open certain websites using firefox or safari. I have been trying to access www.recolorado.com and www.people.com and keep getting the error that the page timed out because server is not responding. I called apple support yesterday and was told to reinstall the operating system which did not help. My husband has a PC that is connected to the same internet connection and he can open these sites with no problem. I have tried resetting safari, but still can't get to these sites. Does anyone have any suggestions??

I was having the same problem and it was driving me INSANE because every solution I found on the internet said "just use Firefox!" (my default browser). It doesn't matter whether it's Firefox, Safari, Netscape, Opera, whatever, the computer was NOT accessing these sites. It seemed to coincide with a recent OS update, but maybe that's just my imagination.
Then my sister-in-law came over with her totally identical MacBook and complained of having the exact same problem accessing the same sites!
On top of this, I had no problem accessing these on my iMac in Chicago last week (running the same OS and software), so I concluded it had to be our router.
In my case, it was solved by simply rebooting the router. Have you tried this? It seems so simple, but now I can access every site that I was having trouble with. You might have to reconfigure something on your router, I don't know much about this. But my general conclusion is that something was wrong with the way the MacBook and router were communicating. Sorry I can't be more specific!

Firefox will not open certain pages,

It will not open my BT emails or flickr but when I use IE they work perfectly. I have cleared my history/cache/cookies and run a virus check, no malware.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Firefox will not open some websites. It pops up a window - Connection has timed out. I have tried clearing history & cookies but that does not solve it

I installed Internet Explorer and still had the problem.
I do not have the problem with my Mac computer.
IT my opinion that the problem started when I installed the latest
version of firefox.

I have reset this firefox daily... it works for a few hours, then will not open a website for 15 mins, and I cannot get emails addresses to show up when sending

This new updated firefox is awful.. I cannot get websites to open for about 10-15 mins it keeps showing S1 Yimg.com ans s.ytimg, and says shockwave plug in is bad, and all other kinds of crap..
The connection was reset.. I got this msg below and had to reopen this page in another window, and reload it to be able to write on this now... and my network connection is working xlnt, and there is no firewall blocking firefox...
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
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.
Try Again
I never had this until I got all these new automatic updates with this new firefox.. I did a system restore, which helped for 1 day, and I have had to reset firefox daily to use it.. And now it took 10 mins to open this page, and then I had to reload this page twice to write this..
I've used firefox for years, and never never had any problems with it. And I see alot of similiar complaints like mine on this forum now..
What suggestions do you have for me NOW... much appreciated, Cyrus

I uninstalled all the old flash players and installed the flash player v16.0.0.235 from the Adobe website posted.
And Firefox is still the same. It takes forever to web search, It takes a long time to get on Youtube, and a longer time now to open a video..
It's actual worse since I upgraded to the newer flash player.
I'll do one more fifefox reset (this is the 8th one in a week)
and it works for a few hrs, and goes back to the slowww way of working...
Many of my friends I talked to about this, told me to switch over to Chrome like they had to do..
I guess that's the only alternative now..
Thankyou all for your help and suggestions anyway.. :)

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.

Safari will not open certain websites (Google, etc)

Hello all. I bought a MacBook a few months back and safari worked fine for about a month. Then I noticed it wouldn't access Google and other pages (ABC.com, NIN news, etc). I've read most of the threads regarding this kind of problem, but the suggestions haven't worked. I noticed most of the threads were more than a year old, so I figured I'd ask to see if anyone is encountering this problem right now and any suggestions they may have on how to fix this issue.
Thanks ahead of time!

Hi Opheilia13,
Do you get any messages when you can not access these sites?
Do you use a router & is it up to date on firmware?
See if this topic helps you any.Also check that your routers firewall is configured properly,so that it is not blocking Google & the other sites you mention.
Which do work for me on same os 10.4.8 & Intel macbook pro & powerbook. It is something specific to your browser user name or system.
The other issue could be Net Barrier, do you use that Firewall? Read
Andyball_uk's reply here
Another still could be DNS# lacking in your Dns# servers in the Networks
TCP/IP tab... Find your ISP and the DNS#.
What have you tried?
Have you tried another user, or Test account, to see if this is an issue
specific only to your username account or system wide. If not I would try that test.Please let us know.

Firefox will not open any webpage - including google, youtube and firefox help.

Firefox won't open anything. This includes support.mozilla.com - I am currently using my back-up browser, Internet Explorer.
Firefox is enabled to access the internet, and browser cookies are not blocked.
All it says every time I try to open any webpage is 'Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at [address of site].' and 'Unable to connect.'
