Twitter is not loading in FireFox 28

Hi there all,
Before asking the obvious questions, I have been in the forum for the last four hours looking for a solution to the question I have, which is "Why won't FireFox open the Twitter.com website. The little green disc goes round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round, you get the picture, but nothing is loaded.
I have cleared everything
I reloaded everything
I have turned the computer off and on again
I have reset the Router
I have had numerous cups of coffee
Gone to the loo a few times.
Reset everything again.
and still nothing.
What is a guy to do. Twitter works in Chrome,
Twitter works in that horrible browser IE
Twitter works in Safari
Twitter works in Opera
Come back to FireFox and nothing but that green disk going round and round and round and round.
HELP!
I used to like the fox, but it is now getting the stage where I feel it is time to drop the fox in favour of Chrome.
Kind regards
John

Hi John,
Can you start Firefox in private browsing mode (Ctrl-Shift-P)? Can you then access the Twitter website?

  • Facebook/Twitter DO NOT LOAD TEXT/IMAGES correctly in Windows 8 in ANY version of Firefox

    The title sums it up nicely. I bought a new laptop 2 days ago and Facebook and Twitter do not load correctly in Firefox (ANY AND ALL VERSIONS - I have been installing/uninstalling/reinstalling nonstop like a maniac). They load in every other browser just fine.
    Basically what happened is I installed Firefox on the new laptop (first thing I did), loaded Facebook and Twitter for the first time, and once I closed those pages and re-opened them, they started to appear with the text flush to the left and without some images. Almost looks like a part of the CSS code is missing.
    I have tried ALL of the solutions posted on these support forums. None of them are permanent
    Clearing my cookies/cache IS NOT an adequate solution. It works for the first time and then I have to do it every time I close and re-open FB/Twitter. Since the entire Windows 8 O/S concept is based on the "social experience," this seems somewhat ironic. Either it's a problem with my new laptop but I doubt it, as I said before, every other browser and webpage work fine.
    My conclusion is there's a problem between Firefox/Windows 8/Facebook and Twitter. If someone could just confirm or shed some insight to development problems or suggest permanent fixes, that would be greatly appreciated and save me a lot of headache. As it stands, I'm about to throw this laptop out the window. >_> I'm very much not impressed with the hassle this transition has been.
    Google Chrome has always been a close second to Firefox in my eyes and it looks like I'll have to switch over, despite the fact the former does not have a customizable bookmark toolbar.
    Thanks in advance.
    I have NORTON INTERNET SECURITY if anyone can suggest any settings change.

    Hey Firefaux,
    I changed a setting in Firefox and it seemed to have solved my problems. Since CTRL+F5 seemed to work as a quick fix, that told me it was something to do with the cache.
    My browsers on my old laptop had never had their cached cleared (I have a problem deleting things :P).
    Go to Tools --> Options --> Network and under Cached Web Content, your cache may be set to 350mb just like mine was in my new Firefox. I had a moment of clarity and thought, "maybe since my computer is so new, I haven't browsed enough to fill my cache with information from various different sites, as opposed to just Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube."
    So I ticked the box "override automatic cache management" and set it to 0mb.
    Ever since then, I've had no problems with browsing (in Firefox, haven't attempted anything else since the problem was fixed immediately).
    I know nothing about caches and whatnot, but with the limit set to 0, I believe this is forcing the browser to reload a new page from scratch EVERY time since I have not allowed *anything* to be saved to memory.
    Hope this helps, please let us know if it works for you as well. I know I was experiencing massive buyer's remorse for days because of this problem.

  • A URL will not load in Firefox (it does nothing) but will load in Safari; some other URLs also have a similar problem.

    In Safari with the above website, I cannot "View Source". Also, I have the same problem viewing images of patents at the USPTO, again probably a similar problem. Perhaps the web address isn't HTML but is an image format not supported by Firefox. Perhaps there is a plug-in or add-on that will be able to read the image, but should probably be included in the main Firefox release since it seems to be fairly common.

    A twitter widget on my website will not load in firefox but will load in every other browser I've tried. I have tried several versions of firefox. Here is the code I am trying to run:
    <code>
    new TWTR.Widget({
    version: 2,
    type: 'profile',
    rpp: 5,
    interval: 6000,
    width: 'auto',
    height: 265,
    theme: {
    shell: {
    background: '#333333',
    color: '#ffffff'
    tweets: {
    background: '#000000',
    color: '#ffffff',
    links: '#4aed05'
    features: {
    scrollbar: false,
    loop: false,
    live: true,
    hashtags: true,
    timestamp: true,
    avatars: false,
    behavior: 'all'
    }).render().setUser('ShawnC4Real').start();
    </code>
    And the first thing I checked was that scripts were enabled.

  • Farmville will not load using Firefox, but it will with IE, for over a week now.

    Farmville will not load using Firefox, but it will with IE, for over a week now. I have cleared the cache and cookies multiple times, updated flash player, did a virus and malware scan, allowed java script, allowed mozilla in the Windows firewall, contacted Zynga multiple times, and yet Farmville still will not load using Firefox, my main and preferred browser. I'm very frustrated and want this fixed.

    Thanks for the advice cor-el, but if you would read the info I posted, I already did that, SEVERAL TIMES. That's not the solution unfortunately.

  • PDFs do not load in Firefox, they do when I'm in Safari. If I'm on a website and I click on a pdf link, nothing happens. It has happened from multiple sites.

    PDF files do not load in Firefox. I click on a link for a PDF and nothing comes up. It happens at every website. I've been using Safari because PDFs open up there just fine. I have all the updated plug-ins, etc. and checked to make sure everything on Firefox was updated. I'm on a MacBook Pro, 10.7.3. I've never had this problem before.

    I am having the same issue - also on a macbook pro, also turning to Safari. I just get a blank page - no download initiates, nothing happens.

  • Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will not load in Firefox, just white screen. Will load using Chrome, etc?

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • Mailbox will not load in firefox 4

    The tiscali mailbox will not load within firefox 4. I am able to log into the mailbox but once logged in I cannot access the inbox or any other function apart from email composition. Attaching a file to an email also produces a 500 error within the upload window.
    I have contacted Tiscali/TalkTalk support and they have directed me to you as they claim it to be a browser issue. I have no problems with this website in IE or in Firefox 3.
    I have not been able to solve the problem by disabling all addons.

    anyone?

  • Videos will not load in Firefox only. Have reinstalled, restored, etc.

    Videos (from YouTube, Facebook, websites, etc.) will not load in Firefox. I've tried reinstalling Firefox, restoring all settings to default, disabling all addons, extensions, etc. When I try to load a video, a dark rectangle appears where the video should and my cursor just shakes. In Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc. the videos load and play with no problems, no hesitation, so it must be some setting or some bad file with Firefox, but I feel like I've tried everything.
    I'm using Windows 7 on an HP laptop. I've checked my Firefox settings against those on my desktop PC and can find no variances. This problem is driving me mad, so please help.....
    Thanks.

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.

  • TOC, Index, Search content not loading in FireFox 3.0 +

    Hi,
    I have created from RH 8 a merged Webhelp system (1 master, 2 children - based on Peter Grainge's posted procedure). It works fine from IE, and on my system, from FireFox 3.0 and up.
    The problem is, that when deployed at the customer's site, the TOC, Index, and Search content does not load in FireFox. All frames display (Nav, contents, and the top frame), but the content for the TOC, Index, and Search does not load.
    This only happens at the customer site. The webhelp system works okay in IE.
    I have checked and we are running the same javascript version, have the same security settings in FireFox set.
    I looked on Peter's site and implemented the redirect fix for FireFox that he has posted, but that hasn't seemed to fix the problem.
    They aren't running any special toolbars (like Google toolbar). I am checking on add ons.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what else I might check or better yet what might be causing the problem?
    Thank you,
    Tannis

    A merge will not work properly unless all the projects have been generated once. After that it should not matter that a project is missing, indeed simply not publishing one of the projects to the server is one of the features of merging making it easy to supply different customers with different content.
    I wonder if the problem you saw was because that project had not been generated.
    Tannis
    Sorry, the reference to AIR help was because you mentioned Snippet 141 which is AIR specific. I didn't look further back in the thread.
    You said that the start page of a child project opens the tripane window with the default topic but you do not get the TOC etc. That rules out the merge being the problem. I am inclined to the view that the server is the issue so get your client to load the published output from my merge demo as that is a known quantity. Ask them to open each child project in turn and then finally the merge.

  • Facebook activity feeds do not load in Firefox 9.0.1 Mac

    The facebook social plugin activity feed found on this page:
    https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/activity/
    does not load in Firefox. I see the feed when I open web pages in Safari, but I get a blank space in Firefox.
    Below is one example of a website (in the bottom of the blue right bar) where there is a blank/white space instead of a feed. This is happening on multiple sites... in fact I cannot find an example of where the FB activity feed is working properly in Firefox.

    I have a Flash slide show on the home page of my website that has stopped working in FireFox 8.01. The Flash movie plays fine in other browsers and on PCs running FireFox, but not on either my MacBook or iMac running FireFox 8.01.
    Works fine on my Brother's Mac running Firefox. But not on my 2 machines. VERY strange. I have reinstalled everything I can think of.

  • Background CSS images not loading in firefox when using a CDN

    Hello,
    I am having trouble getting CSS background images to load in Fire fox when using a CDN.
    Here is a description of the problem:
    - Everything works fine in Chrome
    - Any images loaded through CSS do not load in Firefox (they load in chrome) when i have the CDN enabled.
    - Other images / custom fonts appear to load fine with the CDN enabled
    My setup:
    - wordpress 3.8
    - CDN - Rackspace Cloudfiles synced with w3 total cache plugin (using the 'origin push' configuration)
    - using Cloudflare (mozilla appears to load the site fine while cloudflare is active)
    More about the problem--
    I suspect that the problem has something to do with the htaccess file redirecting some urls or something-- but im not quite sure what to do about this.
    Has anyone encountered this problem before who can offer some insight?
    thanks

    Hello boodymostafa,
    The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
    '''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
    To Refresh Firefox:
    # Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    #*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
    #Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
    #Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
    Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
    Thank you,
    Curtis
