Firefox pulls in the wrong website on a particular domain name on my PC but the correct one on my laptop. Deleting the history - cookies, temporary files etc has not cleared the problem.

I changed the forwarding address to one of my domains a week or so ago. When I go to that website on my laptop (on Firefox) it pulls in the right address. On my PC the old website is the one that Firefox pulls in yet, when I go to Internet Explorer on my PC the correct website is the one that comes up. Apparently this is a problem with the Firefox version on my PC which I believe is the latest as Firefox is an absolute pain in the neck in inundating users with constant demands to update. Very annoying!

How does the forward work? Is it possible you blocked redirection?

orange Firefox button > Options > Advanced > General tab

or

Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General tab

The setting "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" actually stops the redirection.

The "forward" goes through goDaddy and works perfectly well on every other computer using Firefox with the exception of my PC. The "forward" also works on Internet Explorer on my PC - Firefox is the problem.

Thank you. Clearing the offline storage cache solved the problem. I appreciate the help.
