What kind of error do you get?

Seems to be working fine here.


Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

"Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems:

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

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

2 days ago when browsing with Mozilla (in particular) the simple search in EUR-LEX (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/RECH_naturel.do) an error message (could not copy it in my question) in search message from the web site appeared, but at the same time that error did not appear when browsing with Internet Explorer.

But today, without doing anything the web page above is functioning fine when using Mozilla ! What happened 2 days ago remains a mystery.

Anyway, thanks for your support, if anything happens again, I will try your suggestions.
