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. Any way to fix this? According to Spartan it could be a DNS problem, and I have no idea how to fix those- I tried google and tried a few methods and none of them worked. I'm currently viewing the website through a proxxy, which oddly works. : Link to comment
