When loading certain websites, all that appears is regular blue links on the left side. No add-ons or extensions. Tried clearing the cache but it didn't last.

I've tried reinstalling Firefox and fix is just temporary.
I uninstalled my antivirus and it did nothing.

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (MAC)
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

    I can see websites that appear like that on Chrome as they should appear, but for some reason Firefox gives me all of that mess. It happens a lot on blogs, if that makes a difference. Also, I tried disabling my add-ons, but to no avail. Anyone got any ideas?

    That is a font problem. Firefox can't find the font and shows little boxes with the hex code instead.
    Try to set the pref <b>gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading</b> to false on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />

  • Firefox crashing when loading certain websites

    Hi All,
    After updating my firefox to the latest version (3.6.12), the browser frequently crashes on cerain websites. In particular, when i visit www.scottishproperty.co.uk. I think it may be flash related but im not sure.
    I have tried the following but it has not solved the issue:
    1. Followed the artice on this site for firefox crashing on certain pages
    2. Uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it
    3. sent error reports to firefox - but when i go to About:crashes no reports are show.
    Can anyone please advise?
    When i try the same url in IE, it works as normal.

    If you still have problems with crashes please
    # read the article: [[firefox crashes]]
    # if you have problems with crashes and are using Fireox's safe mode
    #* please navigate to'' about:crashes''
    #* post a couple of recent CrashIDs into your next message
    Are you restricted to using Firefox in [[safe mode]] in order to prevent crashes?

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • Firefox cannot load certain websites and I've tried all suggested options to fix the problem.

    I cannot load certain websites (my bank, some public/civic offices, etc.) on Firefox or Internet Explorer (I usually use Firefox) and have tried all the suggested options in Firefox Help to remedy this problem: clearing cache and cookies, making sure no proxy is selected, allowing cookies). How do I fix this? I use a broadband internet connection that is shared.

    Start Firefox in 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).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * 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"''
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

  • I'm unable to load certain websites across all browsers on a MacBook Pro

    Suddenly I'm unable to load certain websites (sundancechannel.fr, sundancechannel.tw, etc.) across all browsers—Safari, Firefox, Chrome—on my new MacBook Pro. Other computers on the same wifi can access those same sites fine.
    I either get a won't connect to server message or a blank page.
    Any idea what's going on?
    I've thus far tried restarting the connection, clearing my cache, restarting the computer, deleting my history, and even getting in touch with the site owners.

    Cambrey,
    that HTML content shows that there’s no content at that Web site — it will only show the heading “301 Moved Permanently” and the single line “nginx/1.2.6”. I suspect that they might have wanted to include a redirection directive in that document, but for some reason, they didn’t. Your browsers are behaving as they ought to do with this Web site.
    Have you considered trying www.sundancechannel.fr in your browsers instead of sundancechannel.fr?

    The pass 4 days now my iTunes Store is not responding, when I reload it all that comes up is a blank white page that says iTunes Store. Help please!!!! Cannot load my gift card to buy music and such!!!

    I tookyour suggestion and SUCCESS!  I can now access the Itunes Store.  A simple fix, and thanks so much!!.
    Below is the advice you forwarded:
    I found a solution to my problem.
    > start menu
    > accessories,
    > right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".
    Once it opens, type in the following command...
    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter
    You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
    Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.
    Thanks again, -Dean Stoneburner

    how can you tell who the original sender of a group text is on an iPhone 5, when all that appears is a list of recipients in no particular order? I can't seem to identify the sender in the details list.

    Start a separate thread to the original sender.

    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
    It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

  • 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.

  • Safari won't load certain websites but Chrome does :/

    Hello!
    I am running OSX 10.10 and safari ver Version 8.0 (10600.1.25). I had the Yosemite beta before this current installation and Mavericks before that.
    When I try opening certain websites with Safari they will not load. They will get stuck in the "loading" screen (the blue bar under the omnibar will start going from the left to the right) but the page simply wont load. When I try to access the same website with Chrome it loads instantly. Is there any way to reinstall Safari from scratch to see if that will solve the issue?
    Thanks!

    MIght be a plugin ...
    From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Deselect:  Enable plug ins. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference then you need to troubleshoot third party add ons > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    And try deleting the cache associated with Safari. (Not the same as deleting the cache from the Safari menu bar.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Clck Go
    Move the Cache.db  (or ApplicationCaches.db) file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    And several of the sites you mentioned require the Flash plugin. Try uninstalling the currently installed Flash plugin, then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Make sure there's enough free space on the starutp disk. 
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon in your Desktop. Click Get Info.
    In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    And remove any items in System Preferences > Security > Login Items
    Same for  HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Startupitems

  • Safari won't load certain websites

    When I use Safari 5.0.6 on my MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.8, various websites will not load.  Some will load fine, like the home page of New York Times.  However, if I select an article, it won't load.  If I try to load google search, it may take several minutes to come up.  my.yahoo page will NOT load forever and ever.  When I state that it 'doesn't load' I mean that you'll see the address in the address bar and halfway thru that will be a blue progress bar.  It just sits there like that and doesn't ever finish loading.  If I try the same pages on Firefox, I have no problems at all.  I have run the ClamXAV to make sure it's not a virus and it found nothing.  I'm not sure what's going on.  I have tried resetting Safari and clearing the cache and whatnot, but it made no difference.  I tried allowing pop-ups.  No change.  This has been going on awhile and it's just irritating.  Any suggestions?

  • Need to click in address bar to load certain websites

    Firefox never finishes loading certain websites. However, clicking on the site address in the address bar then immediately loads them. This also happens with all add-ons disabled. What gives?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
