Hello,
I assume you are using Windows and a recent version of Firefox.
Check the settings in Tools - Options - Advanced - Network - Parameters...
is Direct Internet connection selected?

Running vista with FF 3.0.5 I get this message and the web page won't populate

Has anyone had anymore luck with this?
I'm having the same problem. Pages not lading up at first, but after hitting 'try again' a few times, then the page will finally load up. My yahoo email page doesn't load up properly, and neither does some other websites like youtube - it takes a lot of refreshing the page to get them to load up properly.
Other than that - I can still use spotify, download etc etc - it's just browsing that seems to be the problem.
Firstly I thought it was AVG, so I uninstalled that. I even tried running the computer without any protection just to make sure - no change. I have Comodo installed along with Avira and there's still no difference. I've tried reinstalling firefox also, ran my anti-virus etc etc spybot - all that loads of times. I've tried every suggestion in this forum as i've been googling it for a week now so i'm not writing this post before checking anything.
My head is melted.
PLease please... ;)

For people those who have problems with yahoo mail please do this:
click on "tools>options>network>settings"
In settings configure: Manual proxy configuration (http Proxy and Port)
The last step will be to enable "Use this proxy server for all protocols"
For any queue let me know.
I solve my problem now but it took me 2 days before.
Good luck

None of the previous suggestions worked for me, BUT I DID FIGURE OUT A NEW SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM :D
I'm using a black MacBook with OSx 10.5.8 and my Safari worked fine but I couldn't get a connection with: Limewire, YahooMessenger, Firefox or get "software updates".
How I fixed it:
I changed the default website for my Firefox's homepage.
it was http://www.google.com
I changed it to www.yahoo.com
after that, I quit out of the program and when I reopened it, all the other applications were back to normal!

I'm sooo happy, I tried all the above and none of them worked, thanks to you guys I went to tools, options, network, settings, USE SYSTEM'S PROXY SETTINGS. Thanks for your help. I am a bad luck guy. I love technology but it stuffs up sometimes like a month ago my DGN2000 WIreless n router wouldn't connect to the internet. It took me 2 hrs to fix it. Call netgear, and iprimus. TUrned out that it was a misconfig of way to connect. I live in aus. Netgear says PPOE but iprimus says PPATM so ATM worked.
I have a similar problem on my mac. I had to change my network settings set my computer to use a proxy server to get onto the web at one hotel. Since I have done this (in the hotel everything worked fine) firefox cannot open any other pages apart from https (secure pages) any more, despite the fact that I have removed the proxy server settings (I think I have), removed the network I used at the time and reinstalled firefox twice. Safari on the other hand has absolutely no problem, which surprises me, as I made the changes to the over all network settings and not to firefox settings....
Any ideas?

Hey I actually found the problem I scanned the computer with a different spy ware and it had a couple hidden viruses. I should of known lol but it worked after I got rid of them. Thank you all for the replies.
Folks,
If any of you have the same problem as I had, it could be that Vista was having difficulties with Zone Alarm. That's what my problem was, so I switched to Comodo and my problems ceased instantly.
This was where I got my answer from...:

I have the latest firefox 3.6.3 with windows Vista HP on my laptop... firefox has always been my favourite browser... always the fastest and quickest for loading or reloading web pages but since I have upgraded to the new one... it has been dramatically slow!!!! I have tryed uninstalling and reinstalling the good earlier versions but nothing is working for me... they are all very slow and not giving me the same performance that im use to from firefox... nowhere near as quick at loading or reloading web pages... I study in html php/mysql and currently have a few online text based games running and I need my internet to be as fast as possible!! Lol... I have tryed Opera and Chrome but they arent as good as firefox when its slow Opera is not bad but not as quick.... and I dont see why everyone likes Chrome?? lol slow as shit for me... please I need someone to help me with this problem I have had quite awhile now... need a solution for firefox?? cheers
