Website does not load in my Mac

Hi everyone,
I have a problem loading a particular work-related webpage in Safari, or any other mac related browser. I have tried Firefox, Internet Explorer for Mac. After getting through password and the OTP, the page loads, however where the icons are supposed to be located for me to navigate through the site, there is nothing.
Here is what the site displays at the log in page. "This site uses 128 bit SSL encryption to secure and protect all information contained in online transactions. This site is best viewed at 800 x 600 screen resolution with Internet Explorer 5.5 or above."
If i use Parallels or VMware and use internet explorer, it works. Is there a solution around this as i am planning to get a new Mac soon and would rather not have to deal with the hassle of installing windows all over again.
Would appreciate any help at all!

X11, is a Graphical User Interface designed specifically for Unix operating systems. Depending on the version of Mac OS X 10.5 you have installed you may be able to install X11 from the installer disc which installed 10.5 on your machine, or have to go to Apple's website:
http://developer.apple.com/opensource/tools/X11.html
Once installed, http://www.kronenberg.org/ies4osx/ will install on Macs with X11. This gives you compatibility with post I.E. 5.2.3 Internet Explorer only websites.
my guess is that if i were to install firefox or safari on a pc, it would probably work too. but that's my guess and i haven't actually tried that.
It may or may not. Some things are very specific to Internet Explorer capabilities.
So is it true to say that any given website might be written JUST for a specific browser?
That's correct.

Windows Media Player for audio on one website does not load?

I have Firefox v8.01, Windows 7 OS. On one of my websites, the Windows Media Player does not load. The audio works on IE9 but not on Firefox. I have used the same code on other sites that work just fine in Firefox, IE and Chrome. I can't fix the problem because I don't know where the problem lies? I have disabled all my Firefox add-ons which provided no solution. The site is http://www.music.articleposts.com This is a blog site and the sound code is in a widget.

Hi Anni,
Welcome to  discussions
Thanks for all the info but I have tried everything and still nothing. I just don't get it.
You're welcome If I may say, you have tried everything is too broad a statement when trying to get help we need to know what you have tried.
Have you tried a freshly created test account? See this doc, on how, if you haven't see this on 10.4 & Adding a new user account to your computer, this helps to show if this is a problem isolated to your username account or system wide.
Do you have the plugin components mentioned?
Are you running 3rd party Safari extending applications?
Has Flip4mac ever worked for you?
Post a Url of the video you are trying to watch, or an example of similar would help, so we may try it.
Can you view Youtube & google vids?
• If those are your correct specs you show your os is extremely behind, missing all the fixes
the subsequent os updates & security updates offer. If they are incorrect please take a sec, to correct, adding the size of drive & ram would help as well
If you update make sure to back up your personal files & data see this document on,How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.3 & 10.4 files
Look at A. Brodys post on how to update properlya. Brody now that 10.4.6 is out lets review..albeit it os 10.4.6 it still applies up to 10.4.10, his is the first post, ( this was the start of the double boot after os update.)
Apologies if you already know all this I can't not know, prefer err on the side of caution.....
• Note that your problem sounds different then the original posters problem, he doesn't speak of freezing, you are running a ppc ibook he a Macbook on 10.4.10.
Please post your own topic & articulate what the "everything" you have tried happens to be, you are more likely to get the help you need, no doubt it must be most
annoying not to be able to view what you know you can.
Good luck,

All websites does not load, even though internet connection is available.

I am currently experiencing a problem in using my browser. Nothing appears in the browser window or the page does not load even if I typed the website address (and any website address for that matter). And we do have an active internet connection. I hope you can help us resolve this problem. Thank you.

Hi Roland!
First of all, your Firefox version isn't the latest one (current version is 3.6.3), so a good thing to try would be getting the latest version from [http://www.getfirefox.com/ GetFirefox.com] and install that, replacing your current version 3.5.9. Here I assume that you have another working browser from which you can download the file.
This may not solve the problem (...but then again, it just might).
If it makes no difference, we have some excellent guides to help identify and solve the problem.
[[Error loading web sites]] is the best starting point and links to most of the other problem solving articles - please start out here and see if any of the articles can help you fix it.
[[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]] is one of the more likely problem crunching articles from your description.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help more users with similar problems.

When selecting a website the website does not load, I keep going back to my home page?

If I receive a message to my mailbox and there is a link within the message, the url does not load. It does open FireFox but goes to my home page on Firefox.

Amazon website does not load properly. Text only. Using Windows XP. Cache clearing does not work.

The amazon.com website will only load text, although it does load an occasional image. I am using windows xp, firefox version 8.0

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Particular website does not load a page completely

Hello guys. I just wanted to ask you about this problem I have in the Nightly build since yesterday. I update the browser every day. But since yesterday, when I try to send a proposal on a website called www.peopleperhour.com (it is for freelance work), a module of the proposal is missing. More particularly the 'proposal breakdown' module. I have no such problem when using Google Chrome, and I didn't have it in Nightly too until yesterday. I am attaching screenshots for more clarity. I tried cleaning my browser's cache and cookies, it did not help. Please help, I am used to working with firefox, I don't want to change to chrome or anything else. Thank you

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back soon.

Certain website does not load page on the first time in Firefox 31

Hello,
When I start Firefox 31 after loading Windows or again after clearing internet cache, this particular bookmark of mine " http://mdotnetpublic.state.mi.us/drive/ " won't load the web page. All you see is a blank screen and a spinning wheel.
However, if I click on the reload button the page then loads correctly.
I don't have this problem with any of my other bookmarks.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks for your help.
MBR9743

Hi cor-el,
Yes the problem has reappeared, so I tried bypassing the cache for my Windows computer as you suggested: Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button, or "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows) I then clicked on my bookmark (http://mdotnetpublic.state.mi.us/drive/ ) and I still see a blank screen and a spinning wheel. This seems to go on indefinitely. But like before I posted the question, when I click the reload button it forces the page to load right away.
[running Firefox 32]
I appreciate your quick responses, and look forward to more suggestions. I'll also search the support pages for information about my problem.
Thank you.

When typing an address in the location bar and pressing enter, nothing happens and the site does not load. How can I fix this?

When I type a new URL in the address bar (or location bar), and I either type the complete URL or select from the drop down list, nothing happens. I hit enter, and the website does not load in the current tab, new tab nor in a new window. Exactly the same when I hit the green arrow to the right of the address bar. I am using Firefox 8, and all my add-ins are up to date.
It has been working before. The setting to get Firefox to open new pages in a new tab from the address bar is there, so it should open a new tab. But I get nothing at all!
Please help, how can I fix this?
Thanks,
James.

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Mozilla Addons site does not load correctly in IE - impala-min.js

It seems that the Mozilla Addons website does not load correctly any more in IE and the errors below are generated on XP (IE8), Windows 7 (IE9) and Windows 8 (IE10). It seems to be a JavaScript error from the messages from webpage error popup.
Browsing any addon specific page (NoScript, Menu Editor, Flashblock, etc) all seem to hang with the
'loading-more.gif' graphic showing constantly and none of the lower tabs (Version Information, etc) will open to show information.
I know technically this isn't a Firefox issue but I use IE to check version compatibility of addons before loading in Firefox. Perverse I know but hey it works, or used to until very recently.

This wasn't a question about loading Firefox extensions in IE which would not have a clue about the contents of the .XPI file.
This was about an error on the addons page which seems to stop ANY of the pages from showing details of the extension such as user reviews, developer feedback and version history...
Viewing from Firefox they just show as compatible and versions over 3.6 but from IE you could see what versions the extension was compatible with, ie 9 thru 15 which is far more helpful when deciding which to deploy in a workplace.
Have tried this on four different machines with the same outcome for viewing in IE!

Safari does not load the website

Hi,
I am running MAC OS X 10.4.7 using Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3).
Ever since I started using this computer (1 week back) Safari just does not load the pages. The website that I am trying to load is http://www.apple.com/startpage/ or the default page of Safari as installed. This also happens with many other pages.
The browser starts loading the page and the blue bar just stops mid way and nothing happens post that. I have waited for almost 20mins for it to load, however that never loads. If I press the Stop button, I do see the partial HTML thats loaded in the browser, but the page never loads completely.
My internet connection is fast, since I am able to load the same page or any other page in FireFox with no problems.
Can you please support me with what to look at to resolve this problem?
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi! Yes I have experienced similar difficulty with Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6). Although I am using Safari to browse this site now, it does seem prone to reject some sites. When it works it work beautifully. There must be a gremlin glitch in there somewhere!
All I can suggest that that you switch to another browser such as Netscape 7.2 or Firefox to resolve this issue as and when it happens.
Happy surfing!

Firefox does not load random websites. Using a 3.6 or later version, with an XP OS.

My Dad's laptop is using XP OS.
He's been using Firefox quite a bit, until recently (about a month ago or more) when we go to any random website, it does not load. All it shows is a blank page and at the bottom bar it says "Done".
But after refreshing it multiple times (and I mean A LOT of times) it either loads it or does not.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

Firefox does not load any websites now, after working well earlier today.

Firefox is not working now - it does not load any websites. Message on screen says:- "8e6 Mobile Client - internet browsing is not possible at this time. Error:80001001".
What I was doing before the problem:-
I had spent time re-organising My Documents.
One folder in My Docuamnts called "High Windows" contained the file "2101HighWin.msi", which I attempted to open.
What I have done since the Firefox problem:-
I have tried to uninstall 8e6 Mobile Client, but it won't let me.
I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox.
I have used InternetExplorer8 to search thru the Mozilla troubleshooting pages.
Please can you help?
Cheers,
Bruce
