Pages won't load - have to stop and refresh

Please help me with this; I constantly have to click the X to stop the page from loading, then the Refresh, just to get simple pages to open. I've been doing it for months, no matter what site I'm trying to load, I have to do it over and over. It can be scary when shopping/ordering online. Please help with a fix - thanks

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
You can also check for problems with your security software (firewall,anti-virus) that 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.

  • How do I get Firefox to work properly? I frequently have to stop and refresh Firefox to get links to open.

    This problem began with the latest version of Firefox. No error message. I have reinstalled Firefox to no avail. I can open the browser and most bookmarks work. However, if I click on a link within a page, e.g, a newpaper site, it doesn't open unless I stop and restart the loading process. Very aggravating.

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

  • Stop and refresh buttons (one will disappear while the other is active). I have found numerous websites that just don't want to load on the first try, now I am unable to refresh it (usually in a new tab) because the button disappears. BTW 255 limit is BS.

    Stop and refresh buttons (one will disappear while the other is active). I have found numerous websites that just don't want to load on the first try, now I am unable to refresh it (usually in a new tab) because the button disappears. BTW 255 limit is BS.

    You can try to press the ESC key to stop loading the page if you see the Stop button instead of the Reload button. You can also reload the page via F5 or Ctrl + F5 (cache bypass).
    Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload and Stop and Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar.
    To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
    * Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
    * Move the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

  • Certain Web Pages won't load for roughly 60 seconds

    I was tempted to put this in the 'Safari' section, but after a little more trial I thought it went deeper than that.
    The issue is, for about two weeks now, i'll be surfing the web and then head to one of my commonly visited websites (namely Wikipedia, Google, Huffington Post, and this website) and though I'm fully connected to the internet, the pages won't load and i get the "Server Not Found" noitce.
    I don't, however, have this problem with ALL webpages when this is happening to the others. Gmail, Facebook, Mediaite, etc. all have no issue and they work just fine.
    Primarily I use Google Chrome as my browser. So the first thing i did was clear the cache to see if it would help, but nothing changed. So i opened both Safari and Firefox and they both suffer the same problem. After about 60 seconds the issue goes away and all things are normal again. About 10 to 15 minutes later, if I'm still surfing the web, the problem may creep back up again. I can't say for sure but I've noticed that this typically happens when I first try to go to those pages after a few hours of not using the net.
    When this happens, I've also tried loading these pages on my iPhone and iPad during the 60 seconds and have encountered the same problem.    
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Php page won't load but will in while testing

    I have created a php page that connects to a db. While in
    dreamweaver I can test the page and see the db content but can't
    view the contents of the page if I got to the page via the website
    www.mysite.com/testpage.php.
    I have uploaded the connection files and the test file with
    dependent files but the page won't load. Also I noticed that using
    virtual for the php command doesn't work so I use include <?php
    instead.
    Since I can see the db contents via testing the page but
    can't when viewing the page via www.mysite.com/testpage.php.
    Can someone help shead some light on this??
    UPDATE..
    I removed the following from the PHP file and I was able to
    get the page to load...
    So what doctype should I be using??
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0

    Dreamweaver uses virtual() if you have set your site
    definition to use
    site root relative links. Unfortunately, virtual() is
    supported only by
    Apache, so the fact that it doesn't work indicates that your
    remote site
    is probably on a Windows server.
    When changing from virtual() to include(), you also need to
    change the
    link to your connection from a site root relative link to a
    document
    relative one.
    virtual('/Connections/mycon.php');
    needs to become something like
    include('../Connections/mycon.php');

  • Safari - Pages won't load

    Hi. I hope someone can help me
    There are two websites that my sister visits frequently on my eMac. She has never had problems before and now the pages won't load. We've tried other sites and aren't having any problems. I've also emptied the cache and reset Safari and it still won't work. We thought that there were problems with the website, but a friend loaded both pages just fine on a different machine.
    Can anyone help?

    Have you tried using masking Safari as another browser to see if the pages the machine is visiting have been instructed not to show content if the browser is not one expected?
    If you go to the Debug menu and select user agent, you can disguise Safari as another borwser. Also, from the Debug menu, you can use the Open page with menu to select the alternative browser you would like to use to open the pages.
    Alternatively, you might contact the owners of the site(s). Also, you might go to the Safari menu and Report Bugs to Apple.

  • Livejournal pages won't load

    I have snow leopard. Security updates will no longer download. I get a can't access page notice. Livejournal pages won't load though they work fine if I go through safari. What can I do. At this point it is insane to continue to try to use mozilla because so many sites and pages won't load and I'm no longer secure.

    I loathe people that say in this communities, "I have that problem, too", without providing a solution. My tentative fix is as follows,
    1. Close every app that is open.
    2. Restart OS X (I am using 10.10.1.). Do not select, "Reopen applications...."
    3. Wait until the system has fully loaded (the desktop is populated).
    4. With all apps closed-open Pages.
    5. It does does take a minute or two of crunch time, but Pages does open.
    6. If you have documents in the "Pages Cloud", you will need a functioning Wi-Fi (or related).
    7. Optional- download to your desktop or an external drive (that is reliable) "Pages In the Cloud" documents that are essential to your occupational (or academic) well-being.
    This is an labor intensive process. I recommend you start Pages, and keep it open. I did note the problem started with the January 8, 2015 update, which is unfortunate.
    I was thinking of deleting Pages (cleanly, using say, Mackeeper) and re-installing. Alas, I am afraid of the unknown-could be creating more work than is necessary.
    I thought I would never utter these words-if all else fails, use Word for Mac.

    Hello Anne.
    Read this support article and see if it helps:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites+look+wrong
    If it doesn't, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Page won't load in Safari

    Hello,
    I'm trying to open a page (http://drjeder.com) in the newest Safari under WINDOWS and the page won't load. All I see is a blank screen and a loading message (Other browsers can open it with no problem).
    I then installed Safari (for Windows) on a different computer and it worked only for the first time, but after that it again wouldn't load. What causes this issue and how can it be resolved?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am getting the same problem on Safari 4 (but it works fine on the Mac), so any help anyone can provide that would be useful.
    The page I am having a problem with is http://www.iwebvisor.com/assets.aspx (but you need to have navigate to it through the site starting at http://www.iwebvisor.com/start.aspx)
    During testing we never had an issue with this it has just occured when we pushed this out for go live.
    Something else I have found is I can not replicate the error when I am running Fiddler2 (http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) to monitor the HTTP traffic, and there are no errors in the IIS log on the webserver. Its driving me insane.

  • IWeb page won't load if password protected

    Okay, so I finally found my problem - my web page won't load when it is password protected. But I have kids, so I want to make sure that only family and friends see the page. Is anyone else having this problem?
    Thank you!

    Here is a reiteration of the problem at hand, in case someone can help me figure this out:
    My web page can be accessed from internet explorer on my husband's laptop, but I cannot access my webpage. It just keeps saying "loading" when actually it should be showing me the "user name" and "password" stuff. Safari just keeps spinning and "loading," but it never makes any progress, since I can't SEE the password dropdown request. Is this a Safari problem, an iDisk problem, or what??? Where should I post this so I can get help?
