Facebook, yahoo, google will not open in firefox. They don't even register as being directed to go to those sites.
I have completely uninstalled firefox and re-installed it and the issue has not changed. When I type facebook.com, google.com, yahoo.com into the location bar, firefox registers that I hit enter to do something but then reverts to an empty location bar within a second. Bookmarks to these pages do not work either. I can get may other pages to load, these three seem to be the main ones.

Have you checked for malware, can you load in other browsers, see.

Hello,
Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)
- You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.
Thank you.
This issue is still present in safe mode.

After the change to the IPv6, all of the web sites worked. Thank you.
