I can't access NY Times with Fire Fox but other browsers work ok
I can access NY Times using Chrome or IE, but not Fire Fox. I keep getting the following message: "Firefox can't find the server at www.nytimes.com." I have cleared cache, cleared recent history, deleted all cookies, disabled IPv6 and DNS Prefetching, and checked for malware. Nothing has worked

Hello wheelerd, semi-global problem i think
see: http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/nytimes.com.html
cannot in Greece also
thank you
There have been problems that the www.nytimes.com website has been hacked, but I assume that this has been resolved by now (I can access the website on Linux).
You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
I have tried all those steps and it still doesn't work. I can access nytimes.com using IE and Chrome but not with Firefox.
Try to flush the DNS cache.
You can also try to reset (power off/on) the router.
Just now i can access with Firefox again in Greece.
I tried that already. I am trying to access from work, so resetting the router isn't an option (we have a T-1 line in any event).
