Firefox won't load certain games online, HELP!

I used to use Internet Explorer and switched to Mozilla Firefox a long time ago. I could always go on flash games galore such as nitrome.com, addictinggames.com, armorgames.com, etc. and play those games without any problems. But ever since I switched to Firefox, SOME of those games won't work.
As examples:
-None of the Nitrome.com games work.
-Bubble Tanks 3 doesn't work: (http://onemorelevel.com/game/bubble_tanks_3)
-Castle Crushing the Beard DOES WORK: (http://onemorelevel.com/game/castle_crashing_the_beard)
-Electric Man 2 DOES WORK: (http://onemorelevel.com/game/electric_man_2)
-Level up! (game) will load completely, let me click play, load the adverts, but then show a black screen. (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/519030)
...and the strangest one of all:
-Ricochet Kills 2 will only PARTIALLY work. It will load the game and let me play it... but only takes me to a screen with the background image and the game music. I can right-click and press the "forward" button and THEN it will work.
These are all my relevant plug-ins:
-Adobe Acrobat 9.1.0.163
-Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.310.5
-Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U31 6.0.310.5
-Microsoft DRM 9.0.0.4503
-Quicktime Plug-in 7.7.1
-Shockwave Flash 11.1.102.55
-Shockwave for Director 11.6.1.629
-Windows Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link Library
and I have an AdBlock Plus extension.
I already have the latest java, adobe flash, and shockwave.
I already tried disabling Shockwave for director and tried disabling AdBlock Plus.
Is there something I'm missing here??
Does it have something to do with the games i CAN and CANNOT play??
Thanks a lot... many people can't figure this out!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

Try "Disable the hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player.

Does anyone know why safari and firefox won't load certain pages

Hi
I can't get safari and firefox to load certain pages. For me it's a website programme that i'm using. I can get into the programme but then certain pages won't load. This suddenly happened about 3 weeks ago with Safari. I then loaded Firefox and it worked fine for a few days and now i'm having the same problem and it's the same pages that won't open. I also have trouble getting other sites to load completely, such as this site. It's so frustrating as i can't finish building my website and my laptop is only new!
Help someone, if you can
Julsea

Hi again and thanks for replying
I can go into their website, cloudaccess and use that properly. I just can't use my own website properly. When i say website, my site isn't yet built. The site i'm trying to access is the backend of joomla. I can't load it and use some of it but not all of it.
I can access the site through my old laptop (and use it fully) which is a windows one but i can't access it via this one. I thought it was a cloudaccess problem but seeing as it's only my mac i can't access it through, i'm presuming it's my computer. I also tried it through firefox and explorer on my windows laptop and it was fine. It was ok on this laptop until a few weeks ago when it suddenly wouldn't load properly

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.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />

Firefox won't load certain pages

My Firefox browser has not been able to load certain web pages for over a few months now. The web pages that it wont load involve my college information portal website where i have to access my class information, my college email, and various credit card sites and banking sites. I have tried deleting cookies/ emptying the cache, installing multiple plug-ins/add ons and nothing has seemed to work so far. When it attempts to load one of those pages, the screen it just all white and there is no movement of the loading bar or anything of that matter. If anyone can help me solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.
* Clear the Cache and
* Remove Cookies '''''Warning ! ! '' This will log you out of sites you're logged in to.'''

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Firefox won't load .mov files online but plays them locally: QT problem?

My website has several pages with embedded .mov files, which used to play perfectly well, but now only give a question mark after the progress bar fills up.
For example, one of these pages is http://www.paulozelinsky.com/shivers-animation2a.html
Firefox can open this and similar pages that are stored in my computer (on a mirror of the site) and view the animations normally. But online it doesn't work. Typing the path to the online animation file into Firefox's URL field also produces an empty QuickTime window with a question mark, so it's not a matter of the page code.
Is it possible that QuickTime's plugin isn't compatible with Firefox, at least for .mov files like mine? (Created with After Effects 7, using Sorensen 3 codec). Does Firefox use plugins in the same way for playing a file on a web server as playing it in a local folder? Or could there be something going on with my web host?
I would at least like to know if this failure to load the animation is the same for other Mac Firefox users. I have heard that the animation does load, though slowly, for at least one PC Firefox user.
When I first noticed the change, the problem was occurring in Safari as well as Firefox, but now it is only in Firefox.
I have Firefox 3.6.8, and in HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins I have QuickTime Plugin.plugin v. 7.6.6. I also see in there something called nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt.

Bump, bump. Please can anybody help?

Firefox won't load certain webpages, they stay blank and say it's loading.

Certain websites don't load when I go to them. They just stay white and say that they're loading. They stay like that for hours, as I've left tabs open. This happens on Nexopia.com and Omegle.com. This doesn't happen on IE, but I prefer Firefox.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://omegle.com, http://nexopia.com

Video in Omegle suddenly stopped working.
Please fix it.

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.
Jonathan

Please launch the Terminal application, copy or drag -- do not type -- the text below into the window, and press return. Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered (there may be none.) If nothing happens within 30 seconds, consider that to be no output. You can then quit Terminal.

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 ?

My Firefox won't load any websites, but other web browsers will. I have tried following the proxy help to fix this, with no luck. What can I do next?

Any website I try to visit using Firefox won't load, it just keeps saying that it is unable to connect. I tried other web browsers, and they work no problem. I tried following the proxy steps provided, but did not help.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
If you use a Firefox 4 beta release then you should create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Firefox won't load check images from my online bank.

Firefox won't load check images from my online bank. It had been doing so with no problems, but stopped 2 days ago. I can get into my account and navigate with no problems. But when I click to see the image of a check, I get a blank page.
I am using Firefox 3.6, but I have the same problem on my laptop with Firefox 4
It works fine with Safari and Internet Explorer.

If you can't open them in Firefox anymore (you seem to have a plugin: View PDF documents within your web browser) then download the documents to the desktop and open them with a program that can open PDF files.
See also to be sure that that plugin is still selected:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+file+types
Do you otherwise have problems with PDF files?

Firefox won't load web pages all the way, what can I do to fix this

I have this problem where firefox won't load any webpages all the way and if I try refreshing the page it shows some of the webpage but not the whole thing....and now it won't load any images either. I have tried everything that i could think of and nothing works. I can't watch anything on youtube or go on facebook and google won't work either.

There seems to be something of a pattern in that those are all secure sites (HTTPS address). Have you noticed any certificate errors recently that you might have solved by adding an exception, or does everything seem normal otherwise?
Here are the usual things:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Firefox won't load pages, but other browsers will.

Firefox won't load any internet pages, but different browsers, both Chrome and Explorer work, I havent tried others. I've un-installed, changed the name of the folder of the plug-ins that were left so it wouldn't recognize them, then re-installed nothing happened. I've checeked for viruses, proxies, and i'm pretty sure its not a firewall, I think we only have one and I checked it, plus there is no prompt asking me if I want to allow firefox to access the internet. It won't run in safe mode, so its not any add-ons, clearing the cache didn't do anything either. Its also not in offline mode. What else could it be?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I cannot load certain games which I have always played. This has now been happening for over 2 weeks. Once in a while they will load, but very rarely. I checked my flash, it does allow 3rd party

Firefox won't load google image search results

Firefox won't load google search results. It will load the page of results with the thumbnails etc. but if you click any of them, just a loading spinning icon appears on the tab and it never loads.
I have tried:
Both logged in and out of google account,
All other areas of google work with no problems (news, shopping etc.),
Site working perfectly in Internet Explorer,
Running firefox in safemode,
Manually disabling all plugins and addons,
Clearing the cache and cookies,
Opening results in new tab just results in white page with web address but it never loads,
Restarting both my PC and router.
It's not been working for at least the past 6 hours. Last time I used it was about a week ago and it was working fine then. I've not noticed any problems on any other sites this week that I can recall.

Updating firefox to version 17.0 appears to have solved this.

I just updated to 3.6.11 and now firefox won't load any web page

I just updated to 3.6.11 and now firefox won't load any webpage it
just times out I tried diableing add-ons no difference. I't on internet exploers now. Tried rebooting.

Do you use McAfee Antivirus/Firewall/Security products? McAfee released a security update that is blocking Firefox 3.6.11. This should be cleared up with the next McAfee update.
