Twitter is not loading in FireFox 28

Hi there all,

Before asking the obvious questions, I have been in the forum for the last four hours looking for a solution to the question I have, which is "Why won't FireFox open the Twitter.com website. The little green disc goes round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round, you get the picture, but nothing is loaded.

I have cleared everything I reloaded everything I have turned the computer off and on again I have reset the Router I have had numerous cups of coffee Gone to the loo a few times. Reset everything again.

and still nothing.

What is a guy to do. Twitter works in Chrome, Twitter works in that horrible browser IE Twitter works in Safari Twitter works in Opera

Come back to FireFox and nothing but that green disk going round and round and round and round.

HELP!

I used to like the fox, but it is now getting the stage where I feel it is time to drop the fox in favour of Chrome.

Kind regards John

Hi John,

Can you start Firefox in private browsing mode (Ctrl-Shift-P)? Can you then access the Twitter website?

Hi there Sander

I have tried what you asked and get a link at the bottom, where urs are shown that reads "Read abs.twimg.com" and still the little green disc goes round and round, this is getting very hypnotic.

Kind regards John

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • The image "new fx menu" does not exist. > Options/Preferences> Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • The image "new fx menu" does not exist. > Options/Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:

  • Windows/Mac: Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
  • Linux: Run firefox -safe-mode in the Terminal/Konsole

If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

Hi there Moses,

Thank you for your message, I have some bad news.... Twitter still does not want to play, that green disc goes round and round and round.

Your System Details looks very light/empty. Can you start by giving us the troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having problems. This is an essential step in troubleshooting.

  • Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information from the sub-menu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select Troubleshooting Information from the menu.

Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.

  • At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
  • Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
