I was uploading a zip file to a website and Firefox stopped uploading it in the middle of the upload. Since that happened, I have not been able to open the site again in Firefox. I open it and all I see is connecting in top left corner of screen but it never connects. How can I fix this?

Hello,

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies do the following:

   Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
   Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
   Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
   From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
   Now click the Clear now button. 

Further information can be found here: Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

Clearing the cache and cookies did not help. I still cannot open the website.

Can you open that site in other browsers?

Can you access the site via Google Translate with a random source language?

You can append the URL to this link:

Firefox Permissions Manager. Use the search bar to find you site. There may be more then one entry. Make sure that the settings for the site are correct. If there is still a problem, at the top right, use Forget About This Site.

The site opens but as soon as it does, it puts a time there and starts spinning. This site requires a password to open but I don't have the opportunity to enter the password because it just starts spinning and gives me a time.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

There was no malware or viruses found when I used Microsoft Safety Scanner and I still cannot get up on the site in Firefox.

Hi mclase.

That is a problem with the Flash plugin.

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
