Internet wont load

I am operating vista. Firefox has installed auto updates when this happens I am unable to access the browser. I have had to restore pc to early point. It happened again today and I am unable to restore. I can also not access Explorer. Is there a work around?

There are many possible reasons for this. Can you work through the list in this troubleshooting article and let us know whether it helps?
[[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]
Edit: If the IE problem is new, this might also help: [[No programs can load websites]]. But if IE hasn't worked for a while, then it's probably not as relevant.

Internet wont load a page

Ok so I have jsut bought a new MacBookPro and love it, however sometimes my internet pages wont load. It continues to say loading untill it finally say cannot be opened etc etc but then i refresh it and it comes up normal.... Its not my internet connection becuase the other computers on the network are fine... its happening both in safari and firefox and its starting to give me the willies...

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Could be a 3rd party plugins causing the problem. Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Move any 3rd party plugins to the Trash and restart your Mac.
Also, if you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.1. Download and install the 10.6.2 combo udpate available here. That will bring your system software up to date.

My internet wont load

Shut down the computer.
Power off the router. Wait a while.
Power on the router. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
Startup the computer. Now try the Internet.

Internet wont load some pages and drops

Dear,
A problem occured when updating my osx maverick to 10.9.3. Since then, some pages won't load (some do at some point, sometimes they don't).
There are a lot of topics from other users which suggest turning off ipv6. I tried that but then the connection totally fails. My ipv4 is set as using dhcp. I tried renewing this when ipv6 if either on or off. But that doens't solve the problem. With ipv6 on, i have the problem as first described.
I also cleared my preference list in the library, changed firewall setting, proxy setting, dns settings and so on but nothing seems to be solving my problem. I have put every setting back to what is was after testing.
I know this has nothing to do with the incoming network, since a friend of mine could connect to any website using his windows computer.
Has this occured to anyone else? And does anyone have a solution in order to connect to all sites?
Maybe interesting: sites like google, facebook, youtube work. Other sites, like this one, imdb and all other less frequently visited sites won't load.
Thanks in advance, if i need to give more info, please ask it in the comments,
Fl

Hello dimar50,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Safari on your Mac. I recommend resetting Safari for an issue like this.
You can reset Safari by going to Safari > Reset Safari and then selecting the option to "Remove all website data." This will clear your Safari History and Top Sites, so I recommend bookmarking the sites you would like to save before resetting Safari. You can find more information at the following link (the title of this article says Mountain Lion, but the steps are the same for Mavericks):
Safari 6 (OS X Mountain Lion): Reset Safari
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph11914
If the issue persists after resetting Safari, I recommend the following article:
Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

Hi, my firefox wont load websites but other browsers like internet explorer , chrome can . This problem occurs when i use my company's router ?

my company have two internet connection ; 1 is dsl connection , firefox working fine on it ; 2 is my company's own cisco 2911 cisco router with internet connection , firefox wont loading pages except just the homepage of google.com and that's it , and the problem is that whole company is using company's internet connection which means that firefox is death for all of us.
Reseting firefox works but just for one day and after that it stuck again. also tried other solutions like malware removal , re installing firefox etc but not worked
Thanks for any kind of solution

thanks alot for your quick reply fredmcd
i have searched alot on the internet and got the solution , it was a thread known as "l.yimg.com". every time i open a website ,it stucks in "transferring data from l.yimg.com" , so what i did is;
1) End the process "random.exe" from task manager
2) Delete all the history and cookies of the infected browser.
3) Opened Registry Editor and delete these malicious entries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ L.yimg.com
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\L.yimg.com \DisplayName L.yimg.com
HKEY_USER\.default\environment\temp
HKEY_USER\s-1-5-18\environment\temp
HKEY_USER\ s-1-5-19\environment\temp and so on
4) Search those malicious files on your hard disk and completely delete all of its components.
%AllUsersProfile%\{random}
%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\.dll
it really worked for me , if anyone have the same problem then try it , hopefully it will work for you too.

i downloaded firefox awhile ago worked perfectly fine then all a sudden it wont load facebook background images the homepage of facebook loads background image but when i log in it wont load background image but when i try internet explorer it loads the background images fine i checked every setting redownloaded everyhing nothing fix's it tho

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains (e,g, sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net).
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

Firefox wont load gamesite past 70 percent but internet explorer is ok. whats wrong?

firefox wont load forge of empires gamesite past 70% but internet explorer does but my progress is lost. I want to use firefox. what can I do?

You can also check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

IPhone will connect to network but wont load any internet pages.

OK, I have an iPhone (1.1.1) and an apple airport graphite base station which is connected to a D-Link G604T router.
iPhone will connect to the airport but wont load any internet pages. My iBook works fine on the internet when connected to the airport.
Any ideas?
Thnanks.

Daniel Langer,
Make sure the graphite base station is configured as a bridge, and not assigning IP addresses itself if the D-Link is doing DHCP.
If it is acting as a router, you will have NAT occurring twice, which can have a variety of issues.
Hope this helps,

My ipod touch (geration 4) wont load my internet it just keeps giving me the loading sign. It was working perfectly fine untill yesterday for some random reason and now it wont load at all. Again it just gives me a loading sign and the wifi symbol wont come up.

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices now connect?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router

My chosen home page wont load it loads on internet explorer not firefox i tried the drag it to the little house it did not work it worked before i lost it three days ago

my chosen home page wont load it loads on internet explorer but not firefox I tried the drag it to the little houes by the address bar but it still wont load it was working but stopped three days ago

I upgraded my Firefox and now when I open, either from a shortcut on my desk top or the Firefox icon all I get is a blank page with no address but about:blank. I can then open a page such as my mail or home page from a bookmark, nothing from the desktop will open in any thing other than the blank page. Also my right click options only work once and a while. Things like saving a photo or going back just don't work. All sorts of little glitches, I find them very frustrating and am considering going back to IE even though I don't like it much. All my saved pass words are gone too.

After I update to firefox 4.0 it wont load any of my facebook games. And I don't know how to fix it. Please help Internet Explorer sucks!

I updated to firefox 4.0 and it wont load any of my facebook games.

Facebook games are usually Flash based. 
Your More system details list show that you have the Flash plugin, so that should be working. 
Make sure that you do not block Flash.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions 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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Safari wont load some sites but will open others

Hi
Since yesterday morning, my mac will all of a sudden not load certain websites while others load fine. For example some that wont load are google, gmail, commonwealth bank, about.com, but facebook and a number of others still load. I get the "Safari can't connect to the server" error page. Same thing in firefox.
I have an ADSL modem (netgear) connected to my mac running 10.6, via ethernet. My modem is not a router. I share my macs internet connection via airport, and i can still access everything fine on my iphone and ipad which tells me its something specific to my mac.
I havent changed any settings so I have no idea why my internet is suddenly so selective of what it will access.
I tried flushing the DNS and changing the MAC access in the terminal with no result.
Any idea? Its driving me insane :-/

Pages wont load, links become inactive

Hello, I have had this issue for a while and I have finally decided to ask for some help, usually I can find answers to my problems but am a bit stumped on this one.
My issue is this:
I do a search, right click link and open in new tab - works 80% of the time. ok other 20% page wont open just stuck. Whats interesting though is I have found if I refresh the google search page I can then open the link fine, - the first open page is still sitting there spinning around, sometimes when the link opens this will kick the first try into finding the site. Now it has been getting worse. Now links on web pages becoming inactive as in i click on the link and nothing happens, right click and it does not have open in new tab ect. Its as though the page has lost all of it connections to the internet. sometimes when i refresh the page after a link not working it will open the linked page? bizarre.
I have done a lot of research on this and have done things like clear the cache,
uninstalled and reinstalled firefox,
changed to new profile,
and a myriad of other things mainly in regards to pages wont load.
does this happen in other browsers, I barely use other browsers so haven't noticed that it does.
I use ghostery and ad block plus, ad block pop up, ad block is set to exclude google.
does this happen on other computers with firefox on my wireless network? not as much sometimes pages wont load but can put that down to internet or wireless issues.
I cant rule out it being a browser issue because when pages wont load from google links i can open bookmarks and the pages load as well as links from them out to the internet, and the page open via google still sits on spinning, try the link again and again and still wont load.
Could it just be a bad link? it happens far too often for the internet to have that many bad links.
other clues,
Ad block plus and ghostery have used this and updated for a long time with out these issues.
Issues only started with the last couple of firefox updates.
something of interest is that this issue started around the time we upgraded to adsl 2+ from adsl and got a new modem, but the internet is still connected and I can still surf from the bookmarks so that could be just a coincidence so I still cant rule out a browser issue.
oh does the page time out - eventually yes but takes a long time, I do see it saying waiting for fonts.google or other such things but tried all of those fixes and nothing helps.
I hope I have been able to get my issue across.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

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 and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
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.

Firefox wont load pages completely after removing firefox cache

Every Time i remove my firefox cache you tube and yahoo and other pages wont load completely or will load with errors. Anyone know why this is happening?

Sometimes you only disable the user interface of security software, but the firewall services are still running in the background.
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 and the plugin-container process.

* [[Server not found]]
* [[Firewalls]]
