Hi,

Thanks for the bug report. Has anything changed on your machine or with your internet connection since you could last access the site? Can you access it via IP address: http://72.26.207.35?

Thanks,
Twig.

This sounds like a problem either will your profile or an extension or a network problem on your end

Please try using a new profile without any extensions but ubufox, if it still fails to work start with yuour networking

Hi,

Please could you provide specifics of the web site(s) you are trying to access. If possible, try to access the site with a different browser in order to verify if this is an issue with Firefox. Please also follow the steps outlined by John Vivirito to try with a new profile.

Thanks,
Twig.

Some sites take forever to load, while others load instantly.Firefox sometimes lock's up and you have to close it down and restart.

Epiphany doesn't have this problem.
