Can't access any forum other than diynot using Firefox. :scratch:

Any clues or suggestions welcome as always.

I'm away in the morning so it may have to wait till Sunday.

IE seems to be fine at the moment as is Safari.

When I say can't access I mean it's not loading properly.

Is the problem specific to this forum, or is it happening on other sites too (apart from DIY Not)

Just tried a few web pages and they don't open properly.

The only one that does is diynot :scratch:

Diynot was down for most of the day, you don't suppose that has anything to do with it, or is that scratching at straws.

It sounds like Firefox is corrupt, you might have to reinstall it.

Best wait and see if one of the people in the know have a better solution though first.

:help:

Gets better all the time. ::b

I uninstall and re-installed firefox, no change, so I restarted firefox with add ons disabled.

In the box it said are you sure and started in safe mode. Page looks normal.

It works and loaded the page, so looks like the problem is with one of the add ons :scratch:

What are the add on and can I tick the box that says disable them.

Go to Tools and Add ons, enable them one at a time and check the page until you find the culprit, can't see any other way of doing it.
