It is completely normal that a site doesn’t load. but it is not that normal when the site won’t load only on Firefox. Well of late I have found that Firefox running on certain Windows XP boxes infected with virus won’t load a WordPress blog correctly.
An example is the machine I am currently writing this post on. My Blog and WordPress homepage will not load on this machine even if you waited for a month or so. First I thought it had something to do with my blog. But I found out later that only Firefox does not load my page but IE and OPERA will load it correctly.
The simple and easy solution comes right through your address bar. Just add a “?” mark (no quotes) at the end of the URL after the “/” that is the new address is http://exnol.com/? And the site will load perfectly.
Actually this can be applied to other sites also which wont load after a long time.

My site has not been working for 2 days with Firefox and I hate to use other browsers, which are working fine. I’m getting an external server notification yet my colleagues for our care home jobs website are sitting next to me and it’s running fine?
Any other suggestions welcomed please
yea thanks. apparently it was ok on other computers but not on some..but the next day it was viewable again on firefox here. So I don’t know what’s the prob.
Leona, I have visited your blog. I was on Firefox 3. It showd your blog with no problem. Here is a screen shot I took with Screen Grab – [remover]www.exnol.com/wp-content/uploads/Leonalim.com_1213210086423.png[removed]
