I always have firefox open to foxnews.com. Now I'm on windows 8? - updates come often. After a recent update, I can't get to foxnews.com on firefox - a tab opens that says "Connecting" and stays there. I can get to foxnews.com on explorer, on my mac, and on firefox with windows xp at the office. I tried a system restore, but the restore never finishes.

I can't get Foxnews.com after updating to FF6 either. Hey I can get it on Chrome and even on the despised IE. FF is not playing fair

If foxnews.com has been your home page and you want it to automatically open again, please read the following.

http://www.foxnews.com/index.html

The link above works...and until this is resolved otherwise, you can change your home page to include the "/index.html" by clicking on the above link. Once fox news is open, do the following:

Tools Options Click "Use current pages" Click "Okay"

Doing this means you will not have to type or paste this link into your address bar every time you want to see your home page.
