Mozilla Firefox problem

welshryda

Hi,

Hopefully someone might be able to help, in firefox sometimes when i click on a link from either a website or google it says 'URL COULD NOT BE OPENED' but the url is 100% active and if i type it into the address bar it works fine, this has happened for sites even like youtube etc... is there any way to fix this or is this a known issue?

Try installing ad-aware and running a system scan

Have you got scripts blocked? That might be it.

download and install malwarebytes antispyware https://www.malwarebytes.org click update, then after updates have been done, run a quick scan.
shouldnt find anything if it does, click FIX.

2 check your HOSTS file, xp c:\windows\system32\drivers\hosts
should be same folder for vista and 7,
basically should be 1 line,

127.0.0.0 localhost

with some text above it.

Ive done a full system scan, checked the scripts blocked & tried malwarebytes.org and it didnt find anything.

Still getting the same problem, i have been using firefox for ages and love it, but its getting so annoying now im having to use chrome, any other suggestions, anyone had the same problem?
