Why can't I see www.msn.com, I have used that site for years, now I can't see it anymore.
when I type in www.msn.com, suddenly, I can't see anything but a blank page. I can type in any other site and there's no problem, but when I type in www.msn.com or msn in a search engine and then pick the site from a list, the page is still blank. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it yesterday, 3/2, but that didn't work... I've tried to save it to my homepage, but the butterfly icon doesn't show up to do that.
