Lawliet Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Some pages (like livejournal.com) just refuses to load in firefox. It gets stuck in a "loading state". The pages work in IE though. Clearing the cache and creating a new user profile does not work either. Are there any settings that I could have tweaked in Firefox to have caused this problem?

salis Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 just use IEtab? http://ietab.mozdev.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salgoth Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Not sure what problem you are having. The main page loaded fine for me. :blink: LJ does not appear to be based on any IE-specific MS software that I could see. Did it fail to load on the main page or an actual journal page? Can anyone reproduce this failure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawliet Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 Nothing on LJ loads for me. I'm suspecting firefox is refusing to load one of the stylesheets and/or javascripts on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smsmith Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 You might try clearing your cache and cookies for LiveJournal. Then try and reload using CTRL+F5 or go to the page fresh from a new tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cryton Subscriber² Posted February 27, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted February 27, 2007 Does it work in Firefox's Safemode? - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed88 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I also have this problem. Noticed it with eBay but having checked LiveJournal upon reading this thread, that too is not working. Have also tried in Firefox's safe mode to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceDogg Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Do you use Vista by any chance? If so there is a problem with Vista's new networking stuff (don't know the technical terms) that causes some sites to not load at all. They are working to fix this in the upcoming release. There is a work around, but it's VERY technical. Let me know and I'll point you to the info I don't have it off hand and I'm about to walk out the door. I'll check back.

Dazed88 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_we...g_some_websites Tried everything on this page & LiveJournal now loads after a short delay. Sadly I didn't try after trying each thing so not sure which it was that made the difference! eBay, however, still doesn't load. Really annoying me as eBay.com loads perfectly fine but eBay.co.uk just hangs for ages then gives Firefox's 404. Even when I load it in IE, whenever I try to load a second page (within eBay) it just hangs again, regardless of what pages I try to load. Also, I'm on XP. Not Vista.

IceDogg Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Also, I'm on XP. Not Vista. Ok, thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawliet Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 On vista here. But the sites load after I use a proxy. Kinda weird. My guess is that it's probably due to my ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmay Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I have been scouring the net for the better part of a day and you're the first person I've found who know anything about that Vista network thing. If you could point me to the info for the workaround I'd really really appreciate it. I've found that I'm actually liking Vista, but I'm only getting 20 - 30 % of the pages opening that I try and it's pretty frustrating so I'm just about ready to try anything.

What I was referring to at the time was the problem with IPv6 which I'm pretty sure has been fixed now. What version of Firefox are you using? If you are using 2.0.0.6 then this isn't your problem anymore. But this link that Cryton posted has the info in it. It has instructions down at the bottom on how to disable IPv6 in Vista. I would not recommend you do it now though because Firefox has fixed this issue. Have you tried Opera or other browsers to see if it's something with your ISP or Firewall. Is it random? Or the same sites over and over? That link will help you if you read through it carefully. Link. That's the same link Cryton gave above. Also note, when I was having this issue (before I found this fix) it wasn't but a site here and there. Not the large number of sites you seem to be having trouble with.
