Hello, ever since last morning (May 29, 2013) I have been having connectivity issues with a website I frequent ( www.facepunch.com ). I've asked all of my friends and they've said it worked for them. I've tried deleting cookies and other stuff several times, updated firefox to beta, updated avast, reset router, and still no luck.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the affected files.

It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.


Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.

Make sure that 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.

Tried the forget thing but there was no entry for the site, I think I deleted all the cookies and stuff for it already.

No hits on the malware scanners or my avast antivirus.

No luck with the safe mode

I noticed that the site doesn't work with IE either, it is weird though since my friends use Firefox and Chrome and it works fine for them.

Could it be different versions? You are using "Firefox 22.0", which looks to me like a Nightly, i.e. PreRelease...

The site is working all of a sudden, I have no idea what I did (maybe it was something on their end)
