nytimes.com will not open on firefox - it is my home page

jimbrunke

For many years I have used Firefox as my browser with my homepage as nytimes.com. Beginning last week, Firefox will not open the nytimes.com website

If you open the same page in Private Window, is there any difference?

Do you use any VPN or security software?

Jim, that might be just some outdated data cached, esp. if you use that as a home page, trying to remove some of that might help:

  1. Please check if you have Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) enabled. You can do that by clicking the shield Fx89ShieldIcon icon in the left part of the address bar.
    • If ETP is enabled, try disabling it.
  2. If the problem is not fixed, try clearing Firefox cache.
  3. If it does not help, try clearing cookies and data for the website you experience troubles with (warning: you will be logged out on this website).
  4. If it also does not help, try running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode. If the problem doesn't persist, please follow the steps from this article to troubleshoot further.
  5. If nothing from the above helps, try creating a new Firefox profile and check if the issue persists there. If it doesn't, you can start copying files from your old profile to the new one to identify which one causes the issue. See this article on what files to copy.

Nothing works. Please help me. Are there any live humans that Firefox has hired for customer service?

It is not clear how "will not open" exhibits — if that means gets stuck loading, not loading at all, opening a white page, or showing some particular error message?

If you click these links, do they all fail the same way?

  1. https://www.nytimes.com/
  2. https://www.nytimes.com/column/36-hours
  3. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/06/11/travel/things-to-do-athens.html
  4. https://www.nytimes.com/section/business
  5. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/technology/waymo-driverless-taxis-politics.html
  6. https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html

It would help if you could attach an image here with the error you're facing.

I get a blank page after the Times front page appears for about half a second.

And to clarify, does that happen in a clean Firefox profile?
