I've noticed that on certain websites, Barnes and Noble, Facebook, Goodreads, and IMDB, I'm unable to open certain links when I click on them. But when I use Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, I can open the links just fine. Why is this?

-> Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can

-> Lower the max number of HTTP Connections

Check and tell if its working.


Btw your Flash plugin is quite older. You need to update it.

Adobe Flash Player 11.0.1.152 (3.59 MB)

When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)

-> Update All your Firefox Plugins

-> Restart Firefox
