Title: need help with firefox
Post by: Windrunner on May 17, 2006, 09:28:51 am

I have strange problem with Firefox.  every time i try visit some homepage  the firefox starts to load but then it suddenly stops as if i have never given it command to load the page. The homepage i try to visit never load nor am i prompted to 404 page. I have reinstalled the browser but it didn't help.  the strange thing is that when i try it on my desktop computer it works fine but not on my laptop. has anyone had this problem?

Does Firefox load any other sites? Does it only happen when you start Firefox and when you use the homepage button or even if you type in the address? Does it work if you visit another site first and then type in the address of your homepage? If Firefox does not load any pages, try if any other browser does.

Never had the problem, never heard of the problem.

Are you networking the Laptop to the Desktop? Last time I had this problem, it seemed to be either the Network connection to the server or, on one odd occasion, McAfee being a pain.

First things first:  www.opera.com

Secondly, does the site actually timeout or reset, or does it seem like a rendering error?  Either way, it could be your firefox settings, or perhaps a sudden incompatibility.  Care to share the URL if you dont mind?
