I built a new website for a client whose domain is registered with GoDaddy. The URL link has been updated in GoDaddy and verified with one of their techs. Every other browser I've tried goes to the new website but Firefox still brings up the old site. The domain is http://www.auburnsummermusiccamp.com, the old site was hosted on Google, and the new site is at http://www.karlinlouiseimrie.com/auburnmusic/. Firefox is my normal browser so I only tried the other browsers when GoDaddy confirmed that the redirect was working even though I was still getting the old website. I've tried clearing both the cache and the history.

Chosen solution

The URL without the www. prefix redirects and shows the new website in an iframe: 

<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
  <frame src="http://www.karlinlouiseimrie.com/auburnmusic/index.php" frameborder="0" />
  <frame frameborder="0" noresize />
</frameset>

With the www. prefix I get the old domain, so maybe you should ask to redirect that domain as well.
