You can also check the Network log in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K)

You need to reload the page (F5) to make Firefox create the log.

I can access the Bank's site from the link in your post above.

Try clearing cache and cookies. Also consider what settings you have on any privacy or ad-blocking software. Blocking ad's may speed things up or it may conceivably block access.


If you have problems with only one site and only in Firefox, the problem is often outdated or corrupt files relating to that web page. I suggest you try the following.

  • Note
    It looks complicated but check the site after each numbered step, the first or 2nd step may solve the problem
    The linked articles have pictures ( screen shots) of the actions you need.
  1. Try using the sites home page or a direct link and not a bookmark.
    Try link http://www.santander.co.uk
  2. Reload website using an extra step to use avoid using the cached info.
    • Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
      OR Press '"Ctrl + F5"' |(Mac ) "Cmd + Shift + R"
  3. Clear the cache, and cookies only from problem websites.
    1. Remove the cookies for a single problem website
      Use: FirefoxButton / Tools → Options → |Privacy| → "Remove individual cookies"
      See: Clear cookies and site data in Firefox_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site
    2. Clear the cache
      Use FirefoxButton / Tools → Options → |Advanced | → Network >
      See: How to clear the Firefox cache_clear-the-cache
  4. If the above did not work try in Firefox's Safe Mode to check if an extension or some other factor causes the issue.
    Use: FirefoxButton /Tools → Help → Restart with Addons disabled... .
