Chosen solution

On Windows, Firefox has a choice of two menu systems: a compact menu accessed by an orange button that says Firefox or the classic menu bar (File, Edit, View...). If you use the menu bar, then go through Tools to get to Options.

So I get 3 posts on this page (4/1, 4/2, 4/8): http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Am I missing a bunch? (I see same in Firefox 28 and Internet Explorer 8)

I see the post titled "test" as the first one on that home page.

Is Firefox saying that page does not exist? Hmm...

This is general advice, but here goes:

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.

(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache

Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.

Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced

On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"

If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.

(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:

  • right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
  • Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.

Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

I removed the cookies, still not working. Can you explain to me where to go from the desktop to clear the cache? Where do I find the orange firefox button. Sorry to be so dumb.

I can also pull up post from last week, but not from Sat. through today. I get the same display message.
