For the last two weeks, Firefox has not loaded properly. The only internet browser to load properly is IE6, which is a somewhat old and out of date version. Would there be any reasons why it wouldn't load properly?

    Microsoft has got your soul. Repent!

    Then uninstall Windows and you won't have to worry about software crapping out on you :)

    It acutally upgraded automatically. I tried uninstalling and re-installing, nothing happened. I'll get to the bottom of this though, when I get more free time.

    ok, thats just weird :S:S
  • Do you have Norton/Symantec? I made the mistake of using it in 2006 (Because I was ignorant.) One day, it decided to make my computer so secure that it refused to let me access the internet, even with the firewall turned off. I had to get the company to delete the program from its end, because I could not uninstall it from my own computer. Frustrating waste of time!

    Yeah, is it not working i.e crashes when loading up etc, or do you open up firefox and does it say page cannot be found but but your internet works in IE fine?

    Exactly, you go to open up Firefox and you get the problem loading page screen but IE works fine. I did try to install the latest version of IE with tab browsing and was unable to connect.

    Sounds strongly like firewall issues, something is blocking firefox access the internet.

    check the windows firewall settings under security..if it's on turn it off and see if that helps

    check your network settings in firefox.
    might have a proxy there. try no proxy, or auto detect

  • D'oh! Now my Firefox is having issues on some pages! Especially the page for accessing my personal e-mail.

    It's always something.
