For a while now, there have been two websites - budk.com and lcpdfr.com which stop and start working randomly. When they stop working, FireFox doesn't even attempt to open the site. I'll click on the icon, for a split second it looks like it's trying to load, then just stops. When this happens while I'm on a webpage, my page doesn't even change. It stays on the same page as if I've not done anything.

Later, it'll start working and I can use those sites - until it happens again and they stop working. This only happens in Firefox, no other browsers.

Bump, I really need help figuring this out.

BUMPING. This is still a huge issue. I've discovered if I open a private window and load the page, the page loads, then it will load in the normal window.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data -> Manage Data

"Clear the Cache":

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> Cached Web Content: Clear

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.

Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.

Make sure you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
