    Bad Request

    Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

    Apache Server at www.videohelp.com Port 80

    That's what I see on a mostly blank white window. Just that text (tho it's in black, not red).

    Why can I come here on IE and not on Firefox?

    (I know this isn't exactly on topic, but since it affects being able to visit the site...)

    Try restarting that particular Firefox setup in Safe Mode (Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled...), and see if you can access the site, then.

    Thanks.

    Just tried it, tho', and it didn't work.

    Same white screen, same text.

    Thing is, I've noticed the word "Apache".

    What in the world is something from Apache getting involved in this for? (I've got Open Office 4 on this computer...which seems to now be owned by Apache, not Oracle.)

    *sigh*

    Any other ideas? Should I ask the people at Firefox about this? Don't seem to be having the problem with other websites!

    I just got the computer from a repair place that re-installed the operating system on a larger drive for me. If memory serves it didn't have Firefox and I installed it myself. Didn't add anything, and did "run without addons" as was suggested above.

    No difference. Firefox still can't get me here on that machine.

    It's annoying. The computer I'm on right now is right in the next room and was also restored by the same repair place only a month earlier. It's getting here on Firefox just fine.

    I don't know if they used different software to restore the second computer, if it has a virus from something they put in, or what.

    The guy I've communicated with at the repair place told me a few things to try and it seems to have worked.

    The only thing is the computer keeps losing communication with the router, and so the connection goes dead. Suspect there's more wrong here than meets the eye.

    Oh well...

    One problem solved. Guess this thread is done. Thanks for your help guys.
