Pages won't load when I type addresses

Firefox just updated itself to 10.0.1 and it has changed this. I used to just type twitter.com or amazon.com and the page loads. When I do this now, absolutely nothing happens. Even if I type the full address: https://twitter.com nothing happens. There isn't even an error message. If I go to google search, and then click on the page, it goes to it with no problem.
What is a pain is that it still has my history of frequently visited pages, but I can't use it now.
I'm sure there must be a setting which changed on Firefox, because this still works perfectly well with Chrome, but I can't find the correct setting.

Do you have the AVG Safe Search add-on?? If so, disable this extension in the Firefox Add-ons Manager. Ref:

  • Safari Page Won't Load When Connected to Plasma TV as Monitor

    I am a new Mac user and was hoping someone could help me with this issue. I have a MacBook Pro 13" laptop running Mac OS X (10.6.2) and the latest version of Safari (4.0.4) and when I connect it to my Plasma TV using the displayport to DVI adaptor, Safari pages never load. It just shows loading and finally gives an error stating that the server can't be found. If I immediately unplug the external display and reload the page, it loads fine. All other applications function and display fine. The resolution of the monitor is 1024 x 768. I have also connected the laptop to my HP 20" monitor using the same connection and everything works fine. Its resolution is 1280 x 800. My ISP is Comcast and it is being delivered using a linksys wireless router. Does anyone have any insight as to why this is happening or what I am doing wrong? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, SockMonkeyGirl.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are unable to use your internet based applications when connected to the Comcast network only.  I would recommend making sure that this Comcast network settings are updated to the recommend as outlined below.  Also make sure that all firewalls are disabled as well.

  • Web pages won't load when MacBook Pro on battery power

    My sister bought a MacBook Pro in January. She switched from a Dell laptop. Everything was great until a few weeks ago. When she would be on battery power, she would have a hard time getting websites to load with Safari. I suggested she use Firefox and see if it made a difference. It didn't.
    She can try to open a webpage and it will try to load for a long time (3-5 minutes). If she plugs in the power adapter, the page loads immediately. She still has her Dell laptop and the same websites load with no problem when using the Dell on battery.
    I told her to call Apple since she has Applecare. Apple sent her a new battery even though they told her they didn't think it was that. It didn't make any difference. They told her it was her internet connection, but it works fine if the MacBook Pro is hooked up to the power adapter and her Dell laptop loads internet pages without any problem while on battery power. Then they tried to tell her just to use the power adapter all the time. She told them if she wanted to be tied down to a power adapter she would have bought a desktop. (Not a very good comment by Apple in my opinion.)
    She doesn't live close to an Apple Store to take it in.
    This is just the weirdest thing I have ever heard of. All of her other applications (Office, Photoshop, iTunes, etc.) run just fine on battery power. It is just the internet. At first I thought it might just be secure sites, like banking, but she couldn't get MacNN or Versiontracker to load while on battery power.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    You'll probably find an Airport aerial issue. Does she find that Airport reception (a better guide is shown in Internet Connect) will drop dramatically when she disconnects power? If so contact AppleCare again and give them this information under the same case number she wuold have gotten when they replaced the battery.

  • Why is it my home page won't load when I open, my back and forward buttons don't work, the tabs have no boarders, they just show text and I can't tell which one I'm on sometimes, I can't download things, and firefox won't remember tabs when I close it?

    I've tried switching to an older version, re-installing the latest version, deleting add-ons, clearing my history and cookies, and nothing works. What the heck?! I didn't do anything, it just flipped out when I opened it!!!!

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See:
    * [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • 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?

  • Hi, WWhen I turn on my mac pc, enter my account password my page wont load up , I can access the internet through my families account but not mine. There is a message telling me I need to delete files but the page won't load anything. Any help appreciated

    Hi

  • 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
    Transitional//EN" "

    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');

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • App Store won't load when using our wifi

    App Store won't load when using wifi

    So I'm having this problem with my Ipod 5th gen. I tried absolutely everything but the router suggestions. Mainly because this problem isn't just at home, it's everywhere. I can connect to every free wifi or pass-worded wifi (with the correct password) just fine. But I can't access the internet or apps using the internet at all. Full signal like everyone else. Just no results. Took every tip in this forum and nothing has worked. Even tried deleting the apps that weren't working and re-installing just to make sure it wasn't just a crappy connections with the internet. NOTHING! Someone please help? I'm starting to think it might just be the antenna or the fact that it's about 2 years old and kind of abused. It's been working up until I recovered it after 2 1/2 months of being last in the mix of pants that were packed away. Didn't get washed or anything just had the battery die while it was sitting there. Found it yesterday and starting today I can't access Safari, Youtube, the App Store, or anything else that requires an internet connection. What should I do? Should I take it in to the Apple Store and get it checked out? Or is there something I can do by myself?
