when i try to go to the website www.cnn.com it sends to me to www.tmz.com. no matter how i type in cnn (with the www or without it) it sends me to tmz. i looked at my bookmarks and it still says cnn is set to cnn.com but when i clicked on the bookmark to open to another window it goes to tmz.com.

this only happens for the front page of cnn.com if i go to an old link i clicked i can view the pages but when i try to go to the home page it sends me to tmz

"Clear the Cache":

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

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

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove everything like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions from that domain, 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 that "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.
