Zoom7000 Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 I've been using Firefox as my browser of choice for a while now and haven't had any issues at all with it. However, in the last week, I've noticed that certain websites are now not loading correctly or in some cases even at all. E.g. The BBC website loads, but none of the images or videos load. However, if I go directly to a video link, they play fine. It's not affecting Chrome or Edge, websites work 100% fine using those browsers. But, Firefox is acting funny. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, deleted my profile and started fresh with no extensions. I've even tried the x64 version of Firefox. Still the same. Any ideas?

LeMarchand Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Weird! Fine here. Is this behaviour the same on a different machine? What about away from the school's network/proxy?
Zoom7000 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 Weird! Fine here. Is this behaviour the same on a different machine? What about away from the school's network/proxy? I've tested it on other domain PCs I have. It's working fine, although they are on Windows 7 and I am on Windows 10 (Standalone PC). Both going through the proxy. I can't bypass the proxy on an LGfL connection, but it's clear it's not the proxy. So, the question is, what is it on my PC that could be causing it?
win Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Have you tried re-installing flash for firefox? Also, turn off any ad blockers
BassTech Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Possibly graphics driver, I'd try re-installing it. It looks like it's *.bbci.co.uk that's being blocked somewhere, could it be antivirus? If you have a smartphone, set it up as a mobile hotspot (or USB tether it) and connect the laptop to that, and test to see if it's the same.
