Websites will not load in Firefox for Android Lollipop unless Request Desktop Site is selected.

Starting on March 20th, both my Nexus 4 and my Nvidia Shield tablet will not load past around 15% for any website unless I select Request Desktop Site. This only seems to be a problem when the devices are connected through wireless data. Wi-Fi is unaffected by this issue.
I've force stopped Firefox, I've cleared data and cache, and I've removed / re-installed Firefox. i've also rebooted the devices a few times. Google Chrome is also working fine.

Build 36.0.3 Just arrived on my device and seems to have corrected the problem.
UPDATE: This only lasted for the rest of the night. By the next day, the issue had returned.

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.

One website will not load on any browser, will work on mobile phone

One website will not load on any browser (Firefox, IE, Chrome). Have turned off all security programs and firewalls, have tried in Safe Mode, will not load. It works on my smartphone. Can load the basic site, but not the sign-in page. Says Connected at the bottom of the page, but says Connecting at the top, and the little circle goes around counter clockwise; ran for one hour, still didn't load. It used to load, don't know if I did something or downloaded some program to make it stop.

You can try to access the website in a New Private Window.

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.

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]]
You can also disable hardware acceleration in Flash: 
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.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested. 
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

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?

Some websites will not load in FF. Same websites will load in IE.

Certain websites will not load in FF, but will load in IE. FF starts to try to load the page, but then stops and "Done" appears in the lower left corner of the screen, which displays as a white, blank page.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Perhaps if you post the URLs we could take a look and then make informed suggestions.

I was waiting to surf web with firefox from my phone for a long time. can anyone please let me know any known solution to it.

The mobile version of Firefox for Android requires a processor that supports the ARMv7 architecture, the LG Optimus P500 does not meet that requirement, it supports the ARMv6 architecture.

One website will not load.

Very frustrated! Key.com will not load in safari or firefox. I've reset safari, re-booted mac and modem. It's just hat one website. Did I do something to block it out???
Thanks,

I have run into this issue as well. But, with different sites. Specific sites will not load.
The sites I run into issue with are Apple.com and Google.com and recently Bing.com.
Here is what I have run into on my macbook air since the latest update. I leave my air on 24/7 just close it open it up and go. When you close your air or it goes to sleep it shuts off wifi and has to reconnect upon waking. The issue happens when I reconnect to the wifi.
Upon reconnection apple.com and google.com will not load, other sites load without issue. And randomly google switched with bing.com one time where google would load but bing would not. I had to use bing because google would not load.
When I reboot the websites load without issues until the system sleeps and wakes again same problem.
I tested in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome same problem, I cleared cookies same problem, I reinstalled browsers same problem.
I tested the sites on my windows system sites work without issue through the same router. Tested my windows system wireless and wired sites work. Tested on my android phone sites work over wifi. Used Chrome, FF on windows and opera on Android sites work on all of these. While simulataneously the sites do not load at all on the air.
To make matters more confusing I go to work or a friends test the air on their wifi and the sites work.
For some reason with my router, wifi, google.com, apple.com, on wake only, and my air OSX latest version with latest update these sites do not load no matter the browser.
I checked for malware and viruses as this would have been a likely culprit found nothing.
Anyone have any ideas, any diagnostic tools you think I should try run.
I checked my router I have nothing is set up that I can see that would be blocking just these sites and just on my air. I am still researching diagnosing but, this one is odd and seems somewhat similar to this issue.

Only one website will not load.

There is one specific website that will not load for me. It will not load on IE, Chrome or Firefox. But it works on any browser on my phone or on my families laptops.
The website loads a blank white screen and when I view the source code there is nothing except the line number 1 and a blank line.
To access this page I click on a link, I have tried opening in the same tab, new tab, new window, new private window but to no avail. I have given the website every possible permission I can, allowed everything to run on the page. There are no add ons, no cookies, no temporary history and hardware acceleration has been disabled. But nothing solves the issue that I have. After reading questions looking for help none of the generic answers provides any help then what I have already done.

If it won't open on your PC then it's not a Firefox issue and we really can't help you with your issue.

Some websites will not load.

I have checked around on the internet but could not find an answer. I'm having issues loading two websites, that I used to go to all the time. The websites paintstik.com and thefwoosh.com. When I try loading them, it just gives me the whole page cannot be found bit. It is not my internet, as they will not load no matter where I go. Also, I don't believe it is the browser, as it will not load on Safari, Firefox, or Explorer. Please help. The answers I did find all pertained to PC, and even those didn't seem to help the issue for the person asking.

Then perhaps the problem is your connection. Are you using wireless or dialup? Either one can cause problems. If you're using wireless, try turning that off and connecting via Ethernet directly to your modem.

Disney Jr coloring pages will not load using Firefox on my iMac, using Safari the pages will load.

I have a Apple iMac desktop computer that is about a year old, when using Firefox to access the Disney Jr. website the only problem I have is the pages that need to be printed to color will not load, the rest of the site works as it should. When I use Safari to access the same website there are no problems, I prefer to use Firefox as my browser of choice.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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 or otherwise make changes.

My gmail Contacts will not load in Firefox, but OK in other browsers Please advise

For months now, in each versions of Firefox, when I open my gmail and click of Mail/Contacts, an''' oops''' error message appears, and the Contacts will not load. However, in other browsers, IE and Chrome there is no problem, so it '''has''' to be a Firefox problem. Please help to solves this.
