I have tried every solution That could be found in Firefox help, safe mode, refreshing Firefox, and updating Firefox and plugins. This problem regarding the site http://lankacnews.com/sinhala/ exists only with Firefox and not with other browsers,

I got on with no problem.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

  • Clear the Cache and
  • Remove Cookies
    Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to.

Type about:preferences<Enter> in the address bar.

  • Cookies; Select Privacy. Under History, select Firefox will Use Custom Settings. Press the button on the right side called Show Cookies. Use the search bar to look for the site. Note; There may be more than one entry. Remove All of them.
  • Cache; Select Advanced > Network. Across from Cached Web Content, Press Clear Now.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;

Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Then restart.

That website behaves weirdly: It opens a few links and then goes back in the tab history to the first entry in the tab history list, so you end up with available forward history or you leave the page if you open it in a tab that already has a page. Try to open the http://lankacnews.com/sinhala/ website in the same tab as this forum thread to see this happen.

The same happens if I click a link: it shows shortly and then returns to the previous page. So you would have to open the link in a new tab with a middle-click with the mouse scroll wheel.
