Problem loading certain popular webistes like google, facebook, yahoo in Firefox 3.6.12

The following error message is displayed in firefox when I try to load popular websites:
The connection has timed out
The server at www.yahoo.com is taking too long to respond.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access...
I can access these sites from other browsers. I am using firefox 3.6.12 on Ubuntu 10.10. Please help.

I went into the extensions and disabled AVG Safe Search and I no longer have the problem.

    My Mac refuses to open certain pages e.g. google/facebook for a weird reason "Your flash player may be out of date and you need to update it", but my flash player is up to date. I tried to install a new flash player version "setup.exe" but it said the file cannot be opened because the application is not supported on MAC OS X, does anyone have same problem? please help.

  • I am in Mexico, but do not want pages like google or yahoo to redirect to .mx sites. How do I make this stop happening?

    I am in Mexico, and pages like google or yahoo redirect to .mx sites. I would like to know how to keep them from redirecting, to stay at google.com / yahoo.com

    The problem is that what you are asking for is something you know you aren't going to get - specifically the
    I would also like Apple to provide a projected timeline for these fixes. Not a commitment, just a projected time-line.
    You know that is not how Apple do business - ever. While it's entirely possible they will ultimately meet your wishes in terms of the fixes, updates and added features, it won't be part of a 'deal' but just because they will continue to roll out their product plan as if nothing had ever happened.
    On the other hand, I have to say that I agree entirely. Much could and should be achieved simply by building on the platform and advancing it. It isn't an unreasonable wish to see that happen and to know it will happen. Just not Apple's way to tell anyone.

  • Problems loading certain web pages

    Lately, in the past week or two, I have been noticing that Safari wont load certain web pages. It jsut stops and then I get a blank white page with no error message. I have noticed this mostly with Facebook, but also found the same problems with Evite.com when I click the login link. I have tried using Firefox and it seems to d better, especially with Facebook, but it did hang up on it one time. I cant get to the login page on Evite with either browser. I am using OpenDNS, but dont have these things blocked. I can access them fine from a PC laptop through the same connection via my wireless modem.

    Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utiities). Select Passwords on the left then delete the Evite under Names on the right. Launch Safari or Firefox, go to the Evite site and login. After typing in your password, click Always Allow
    I opened Keychain, but there is nothing in there for Evite under passwords?
    Try Safari Maintenance
    Repair disk permissions...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Tried this, but still having problems in both Safari and Firefox. Facebook seems to be random, more often not working than it is. Still no login page with Evite?

  • Problem loading certain websites

    For the past year or so, my iMac has (running Mac OS X 10.5.8) has been giving me trouble when it comes to loading certain websites. The reason why I think it's my computer as opposed to my browser or my internet connection is because these websites will load on other computers connected to the wireless network in my home, and because the problem persists with any browser I attempt to use - I've tried Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari and none of them load these websites. (Also, they load fine when I'm on the internet via my iPod touch.)
    The websites in question include about.com, ehow.com, and any website with a .me extension. There are others, but those are the three that come to mind at the moment. When I try to go on about.com for example, the page simply does not load. There's not even an attempt to load the page. It's very frustrating because I see no reason why these websites shouldn't work.
    I have tried clearing the caches, history and preferences for all browsers, as well as logging in as a different user on my computer and seeing if these websites worked - they didn't work, even as a different user. I was told it could be a problem with the .plist files, so I dragged all of them into the trash and tried loading these webpages, but it still didn't work. Does anyone know what else it could be? Also, I apologize if my description of the problem was unclear.

    Some other things you can try:
    1. Run Software Update (in the Apple Menu) and make sure you have all available Apple updates for OS X.
    2. Go to Adobe.com and make sure you have the latest versions of Shockwave and Flash for your computer installed.
    3. Go to System Preferences > Parental Controls and see if any restrictions have been established.
    4. Go to System Preferences > Accounts and set up a new user account. Try using your browsers from this account. If they work, there is a problem with your "old" account. Next steps will depend on how much time and effort you're willing to devote to troubleshooting.
    5. Power cycle your router and computer.
    6. Go to System Preferences > Network. Highlight your router (assuming you're using a wireless connection) and select the "TCP/IP" panel. Click on the "Renew DHCP Lease" button.

  • MTU Size Problem Loading Certain Webpages

    Hello Colleagues,
    I'm having a strange problem dealing with MTU sizes and loading certain webpages. I am aware of the default Microsoft MTU of 1500 and also using GRE IPSEC Tunnels recommended at MTU size 1400. I have since manually set some users PC's to MTU of 1400 and most of those users are experiencing no issues. However, there are a few users who still experience website loading issues even though I have manually changed their MTU size to 1400.
    These are domain accounts will the same image loads on their machines, so all have the same permissions, rights, firewall settings, etc. They all use the same LAN, switches, and routers.

    UPDATE
    I have since applied the following config to the tunnel interfaces:
    ip mtu 1400
    ip tcp adjust-mss 1400
    tunnel path-mtu-discovery
    This worked and I was able to reset each users PC to default MTU size of 1500, but only until just now. I got a call from a user who explained that he wasn't able to reach some websites, again.
    Sure enough, I've just confirmed that all of the users are unable to access the websites any longer.
    This is crazy, does anyone have any ideas?

  • Having problems loading certain sites

    hi i am having problems with certain web pages. i can load up any web page but have problems when clicking on something with in the page that opens a new window. the window is displayed but loads up no images or text and says done in the bottom left hand corner. this means i can not use online banking or any of my other accounts online. any help would be greatly appreciated. as i cant think of what is coursing the problem. i have avg protection on my laptop and windows firewall.

    "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Problems loading certain websites

    I am having a problem loading several websites that I know are hosted on the same server. Three of these sites I have created. I am not able to load them using my iMac, iPad, or iPhone. The browser I am using is Safari and Mobile Safari. This issue has started suddenly. If I turn wi-fi off on my iPhone, I am able to load the sites thru the cellular connection. This makes me think the culprit is either my cable modem or my AirPort Extreme. I have had friends visit the sites with no issues.
    The sites I am having problems with are...
    www.hbsouthprinting.com
    www.kleinscuba.com
    www.parkbaptistchurch.org
    www.mgmoptics.net
    Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Firefox 4 on Mac goes through periods of time where it brings "server not found" or "problem loading page" pages. I have to re-start firefox to get it to work again. Works fine on Safari.

    Hi, ever since I was prompted to download the new Firefox 4, I have continuously been having this issue. I will type in a domain name and it will automatically prompt me to "server not found". The websites work fine on Safari and Google Chrome, but not firefox. I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox about 4 times and I really need a solution!
    Also, I have done all of the IPv4, Cache, and other solutions listed in the article on having certain sites not load. I'd appreciate some help! Thanks!

    Did you ever fix this, because I am having the same problem

  • Firefox can't load websites but my Windows Explorer can. It was working before but now whenever I try to load a page it says "Problem loading page". What can I do to get Firefox to work?

    Whenever I try to go on a website, Firefox says "Problem loading page." It won't load any pages. I tried uninstalling and re-installing but it still says and does the same thing.

  • Airport Problem: Problem Loading Certain Pages

    Why do some pages just refuse to open in the MacBook but when I go to the Desktop XP they are not down? It just happened to me with GMail. It has happened with Google, Flickr, etc. It is not the browser, as I try on 3 different ones before going to the desktop computer. Has it happened to you? Do you know the reason? Any solutions?
    The error is either "Server not found" or "No Internet Connection". I do have Internet connection as I'm on Adium and other pages do load. The server is no down, as I am able to open them in another computer, as I have said.
    I'm on a wireless connection. My transfer rate is 54, but when experiencing problems, I see 32, 24, etc. I almost never, or never, gets to 0, as others have reported. I gets really annoying, really fast.
    Please help. I have read threads and threads and not a single one has a solution.

    Did you check the Windows Accessibility settings?
    *http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Make-the-computer-easier-to-see-optimize-visual-display
    If it happens in other browser as well then you need to look there.
    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *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 "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
    Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.image pref should be 1.
    There are also extensions like Adblock Plus (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

  • Having a problem loading certain sites

    Ok so I'm beating my head against a wall trying to figure this out. It's becoming more and more frequent that there are certain sites that I cannot access, in any browser, on my macbook pro running Snow Leopard. My router and everything is configured fine because I have no problems on any other computer in my home. For example there is a website I cannot access survivethenights.com which is a project I backed on kickstarter. I can access it from any computer but my macbook pro and no browser will load it. I tried pinging the address from the terminal and it pings just fine! I even tried loading the page straight from the ip address it returned in the ping and it's a no go. So I was thinking maybe a firewall, DNS, or proxy problem right? Disabled the firewall, flushed my DNS cache, tried using Google's public DNS 8.8.8.8, checked all the DNS and proxy settings, even went as far as going into the system library preferences and deleting the SystemConfiguration folder and restarting my computer and rebuilding it. Still a no. It's been happening for a while now and I have put up with it for long enough.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks for the help. I followed your advice but "Apple Software Update" wasn't listed anywhere under "All Programs". But, now knowing it was the Apple Installer, I went to the Control Panel/"Add or Remove Programs" and found "Apple Software Update" listed there. I clicked on "Change" and selected "Repair" after it completed repairing the software, I tried loading iTunes and was successful. Thanks again for your quick response.

  • Problem loading certain pages with WRT54G2 router

    I recently had to password protect my wireless network (I live in the middle of nowhere and we got new neighbors who decided to leech off my internet), and since then have had trouble loading a handful of websites that I had previously been able to access. The websites also do not load on my mother's computer (same network) or on my phone (unless I use my cellular network and not my home's wifi). I have updated my router's firmware and reset it, but this has not fixed the issue. Could anyone help me with this?

    Make sure the internet thru the router is working. What you can do is hardwired the pc to the router and check if you can open a website then access the router's interface again and double check the wireless settings, personalize if possible the SSID and the wireless channel (3,6,9,11), also for the wireless security use wpa2 personal/ TKIP. If internet wired to the router is not working, connect the pc straight to the modem for isolation.

  • I downloaded 3.6 thre times and I cannot log on. I get unable to connect and problem loading page. Prior to downloading the latest update Firefox worked great. Once downloaded it stopped working. Explorer works fine and my broadband connection is good.

    I cannot launch Firefox after latest update was loaded.

    Problem Solved. Great work, thanks for the prompt and accurate response. This is one reason why I strongly recommend Firefox over Explorer!
