Firefox won't load parts of web pages or let me log into certain websites

I don't quite know how to really explain this, so I'll provide two examples of the problems I'm experiencing:
The first is that, whenever I go onto any of those Wikia sites, Firefox doesn't seem to load anything other than the main page content. By this, I mean that it won't load any "Recently edited/added pages" box or "Recently uploaded images" box on the right hand side of the page, nor will it open the Contents tab to navigate different sections of the main page content itself.
Another problem I'm having is logging in to a website I usually frequent. It uses Facebook, Twitter and/or Google+ to log in, and the site has recently started running on Flash and Silverlight. Up until a few weeks ago, I am unable to log in to this website for the same reason as the example above - it just doesn't seem to load after clicking to log in, yet the rest of the site is fully functional.
In regards to the former example, I did manage to do something with Java that managed to fix it, however when attempting to emulate the solution when it happened again, nothing happened. I'm unsure of what the problem is. Can someone help?

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
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
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
Check on the Network tab if any content is blocked and has a file size 0 (zero).

Firefox won't save images or web pages, even after upgrading, reinstalling and resetting... How do I fix this?

A couple upgrades ago, I noticed that Firefox wouldn't boot properly. According to "Task Mgr.", it would load partially with a "*32" after it's name in the listing, but not enough to display a window on screen. After ending the process, and restarting the program again it would usually boot fully. (not always, but usually) The "*32" confuses me as I run a 64bit Windows 7 system and during installation I was sure that I saw mention of a 64bit program being installed. Apparently, after the last upgrade, that issue was resolved; but Task Mgr. still lists the program with a "*32" after it.
The issue now at hand is that Firefox won't save images online or save web pages. I'll right-click and select "save image as" or "save page as" and... nothing. No box appears prompting me to name a file or designate a location to save that file to. Nor does anything happen when I use the "File" menu for the same function either. This is, to say the least, is very frustrating. There may be other things not functioning that I'm not currently aware of, but I haven't been able to or had time to do a complete check of the functionality of the program. I've never had issues of any significance with Firefox in the past. It's always been very reliable for me, so I'm hoping there's a relatively quick fix that I simply haven't been made aware of yet...
Thank you for your suggestions and time looking into this matter...

It probably will take a little time to work through this troubleshooting article, but hopefully you will get a complete solution: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
Regarding the *32, I see the same thing on Win 7 Pro x64. No worries. Firefox for Windows is compiled only as a 32-bit application.

Tabs won't load. The web page loads then instantly starts to re load and continues like this.

When Firefox opens it loads a blank tab. As soon as I click on any web site it loads for a milli-second then the pages on a reload cycle and doesn't stop so the page never loads at all. I doesn't matter if you reinstall Firefox, reboot the computer disable java or anything.

hello Stepgar, it sounds like a theme or extension might be interfering here. please try launching firefox in safe mode once and see if the issue is occurring there too.

Safari won't load MSN Entertainment web pages

I am having some trouble with Safari. Over the same network, the Safari is slower than my older PCs to load web pages, and some pages, usually in MSN Entertainment (particularly movies) won't load at all. I get a Bad Request message on an otherwise blank white web page. Frustrating, especially as this causes my otherwise wonderful wife to complain regularly about the otherwise fantastic iMac I am typing on. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hello Tom,
Welcome to Apple discussions
Like Klaus, his link works for me as do the two you just posted.
That is on my powerbook 10.4.8 Safari 2.0.4
Do you have DNS Server#s entered in the DNS server field, in Network's,
Show: Airport or Ethernet [whichever is the case] TCP/IP tab , if not try doing that.
You can get the #'s from your ISP or from the PortForward pages.
Also these.....
Verizon (Level3) - these are not restricted to Verizon customers
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5
4.2.2.6
work well for many users.
If you use Earthlink, the Opt out numbers are not found on the portforward pages, the supported elink DNS are found there, but for many of us they led to highjacking..
The opt out # are as follows...
207.69.188.171 (west coast)
207.69.188.172 ( east coast)
If you're west of the Mississippi, use the west coast DNS server as your primary and the east coast as secondary. And vice-versa for those of you in the eastern U.S.
They come from this the Dead Domain ... blog.
• Make sure your Router is updated with the latest firmware, & that the routers firewall is not blocking MSN, for some reason or other.

Good Luck & please keep us posted.

Won't let me log into any websites

Dear sir/madam,
I'm a new member of firefox as I decided to give up with google's terrible cutomer service but I have tried several times to log into websites such as twitter, google, tumblr and many others however none of them are actually logging in. I can confirm all the usernames and passwords are correct however everytime I type them in it just goes back to the homepage of the sites but not with me logged in.
I tried to reset the passwords to see if that help but still no progress, what should I do?
Kind regards,
Nikita

Firefox won't load any online flyer pages, while IE can load them fine. What is causing this?

I noticed after an update a few months ago (sorry, can honestly not remember which update may have caused this), all of the online flyer webpages wouldn't load. They'll show up as a blank page or everything on the site will load minus the actual flyer. This happens if I try to view the HTML flyer or Flash version... Here's a list of the ones I like to check out online, and I have to open up IE now to load them (very annoying!):

[http://yourindependentgrocer.com/LCLOnline/flyers_landing_page.jsp?flyerView=flip&flyerId=10600036 Independent Grocer]
Most of these ask a postal code, here's one in Ottawa Ontario (K1R 6B2) for those who want to try loading the pages.

It seems that '''every'''solution want to begin with "start Firefox in safe mode" and then check your addons/plugins one at a time. This is extremely time consuming and irritating. I'm almost at the point of looking for other browsers.

Firefox won't load BT Yahoo Webmail page

When I try to go to BT Yahoo Webmail (bt.yahoo.com/webmail) I get a page which says 'Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at login.yahoo.com.' - as it would if I were offline. This only happens with Firefox. I can access it ok with Internet Explorer (which I do not wish to use). I also can not access bt.yahoo.com itself.
Also, Mozilla Thunderbird can not access my email (though it has done so with no problems for well over a year). It says 'An error occurred with the POP3 mail server. Mail server mail.btinternet.com responded:' (though it doesn't say how it responded.
The other thing I can't do on Firefox is play the BBC iPlayer (but IE can) and I couldn't access this page on Firefox Support - I'm having to do this in IE.
I have already:
Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox
Uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Flash Player
Installed the Active X plugin for Flash Player
Upgraded Zone Alarm (free version)
Upgraded Avast (free version)
(these two have been running for ages and not given problems before)
Shut down both antivirus programmes and tried again.
Checked as many settings as I can find that might be blocking access - though nothing seems obvious.
Read lots of 'help' forums and FAQs.
Drunk more coffee.
Tried it all again, of course remembering to switch it off and on again a few times in between reinstallations and tweaks etc.
Is this a known issue? I am now almost completely insane. Thanks.

I have the same problem can't figure it out, in the meantime I installed IETab and got it to work that way, it's not a permanent solution but for now it's an option

How do I get firefox to stop loading up a web page when I try to close the firefox browser

When ever I close the browser a second unrequested browser page pops up without my asking for it. This is at best annoying.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

I am getting "this connection is untrusted" error messages from Firefox for Desktop when I try to log into certain websites, such as Facebook. Why?

I get this error message "this connection is untrusted" after I re-installed Windows Vista and all my programs. This happened before but after reformatting my computer everything was good. Why am I getting this? Could it be a virus of some sort? It happens when I use Windows Internet Explorer as well....

Hi,
Please check the time/date on the PC. The ideal setting would be to '''Automatically synchronize ...''' in Date and Time > Internet Time.

My cookies are turned on, but Firefox and other internet browsers aren't saving them, therefore not letting me log into any websites.

I think there is a security error with my computer/browser, help?

It is possible that your firewall is blocking cookies if it happens in other browsers as well.

HT1338 hi, my firefox and safari are both having difficulty loading certain parts of web pages. previous to this my firefox would freeze and state that a script was not responding. i would stop the script and reload the page and everything would be fine.

hi, my firefox and safari are both having difficulty loading certain parts of web pages. previous to this my firefox would freeze and state that a script was not responding. i would stop the script and reload the page and everything would be fine. now though the pages just load very very slowly or load leaving out certain pictures and video content. i've tried clearing my cache's and cookies, resetting my browser etc, but it seems like its a system issue as both safari and firefox are having issues. i've run Avast to screen for malware and it came up empty. any suggestions?

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?

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.

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 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.
