I am using Firefox 19.0 on a vista OS. When trying to access a few web sites, I get "Unable to connect" message.
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at Bleacherreport.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
************************************************** ******************************
I am fairly sure that the site is available. I can access it at work, but not at home.
I know my computer's network connection is ok, cause this message only comes up on a select few pages.
As for the question regarding the protection of a firewall, yes. I think. I use Microsoft security essentials.
Proxy ? I don't know.
It's getting over my head now.
Anyone offer me help ?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Click on the fire fox tab on the top left and choose options/options/privacy and click on the link remove individual cookies and either remove the cookie to the effected site or all of them.

Thanks for your response.
I tried deleting just the cookies for bleaherreport.com unfortunately, that didn't work. And neither did clearing all the cookies. Any other ideas ? -
Maybe your host file is corrupt.
If you use Spybot Search & Destroy or similar it may have 'immunized' you against the site's banner or ad. -
try chrome, ie, or safari browsers.

Sounds like a problem with your server,give them a call and see if it's an issue with other people.

Thanks for trying.
I am installing the spybot anyway. Is it necessary to create a white list ? -
Spybot was just an example. The program 'immunization' actually PREVENTS you from accessing a site!
I was just checking to see if you had it installed or had used it recently. Don't install for this purpose.
