Hi. For the past two days my homepage (bbc.co.uk) starts loading, then redirects to bbc.com which then redirects back to bbc.co.uk.....and so on. I can access other bbc.co.uk pages such as sport, but if I then try to access the homepage again it just starts redirecting all over again. Very frustrating!

I can access the homepage with IE, but then I can't use my favourite browser, Firefox! I have tried Chrome too, no problem!

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Ian

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?
