Firefox won't load my new website - while other browsers do
Hi,
I have uploaded a new version of my website, and though I can access it with other browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera), Firefox will only load the old "under construction" picture and not my new site. I have tried clearing the cache, to no effect.
I have tried access the site from link, and get the construction picture - it's ONLY Firefox that does this...!!
Please advise. Thanks.

Interesting thought.
I had no problem with the link.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). While you are in safe mode;

One way to assess whether this is a cache problem is to open the site in a private window (private windows do not re-use cached files from regular windows or previous sessions). You can right-click the link in your earlier reply, or another link to the site, or a bookmark, and choose Open in New Private Window.
