There is a legal site called www.las2orillas.com (news in Colombia) that I simply cannot load using Firefox. Every time I want to load a link from this site, I get redirected to a number of pages that simply don´t have anything to do with that particular site. Is there a problem with that site in particular, is it my PC? I do have windows 7 and using currently the latest version of Firefox. I also have a free version of AVG antivirus (though have used several tools to try to fix it, but the problem is still there). It only happens whith this site in particular.

I just get a blank page with that hostname if I use Firefox. There is hardly any content in the source code. There is one javascript file sent and one .aspx file. I get content with SeaMonkey, but it seems to be a GoDaddy ad trying to sell the domain.

Thanks for your prompt answer, finitarry. The deal is that it is actually a site that is currently working. If I use a different browser (for, instance, the awful Explorer), I actually am able to visit the site. So, you see, it is a problem that specifically affects this particular site with Firefox. Thank you anyway for your attention!

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.


Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Maybe IE is showing that page from the cache.

Try to reload and bypass the cache in IE (Shift+F5)

With Safari, I still get a GoDaddy page, and with Opera I get a blank page. There is something abnormal going on with that site.
