Sorry for the delay in posts. I have now come to my end with Firefox. For the 3rd or 4th time now, Firefox all of sudden stops loading one of the websites I go to at a high frequency. Sometimes it is this blog, sometimes it is my brother’s blog, sometimes it is one of my other popular sites. It was working fine right before I traveled for Thanksgiving Holidays. Then I return and it stops loading my blog this time. It keeps giving Connection Interrupted – Ser…
I don’t believe this…
I brought up Firefox again to capture the error message and low and behold it works now. I cannot figure this out at all. I searched all of the web and got the usual… it is your ISP, it is your Firewall, turn off IPV6 in Firefox blah blah blah. In the previous times, I had been able to go back to an old restore point and get it to work again. Unfortunately, this time it was to long and it had rolled off my restore. So to put things in perspective I:
- Tried all my restore points
- Rebooted numerous times
- Flushed my DNS
- Released and Renewed my IP
- Cleared out all caches – cookies and content
- Reset all of my networking and assigned new IP addresses
- Yes, I did the stupid turn off IPV6 setting in Firefox
- Gave up and completely rebuilt my entire machine checking it at every single install to see if it would start working – no luck
- Reapplied gigs worth of OS patches (thanks Microsoft, I appreciate it)
- Reinstalled all of my apps
- Stopped short of kicking my PC through the window when it still didn’t work.
Turns out my friend is having a similar problem with some different sites he is trying to view with Firefox – and yet tonight I write a post about it and magically it is working again. The only good news about all of this is I have an extremely clean windows install now that I plan to clone so I don’t have to go through this crap again.
Hope you week was better!
