    Well recently I've had the problem where I can't get to certain sites.

    I either get a "404 Error", or a "Page Cannot Be Found".

    But when i try using IE it works no problem.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    also, do you have the latest version? (2.0.0.3)

    Yes I have the latest version.

    And this isn't a restart FF problem. It happens on several different comps for several different sites.

    Not sure if this'll work in your case, but normally when I can't access a site, I restart my router and flush my DNS cache:

    Start >>> Run >>> Type 'cmd' >>> In command prompt type 'ipconfig/flushdns'


    I'm not entirely sure if it'll work as when I get this problem I can't access the website in Firefox nor IE.

    Good luck!

    Could it be that your pc's or your router is configured to use a proxy? I would reccomend you to check it. Also scan for virusses, these kind of problems are sometimes caused by malware.

    Well I did scans with spyware and a Avast updated thorough scan, along with a AVG scan.

    It's not a virus.

    I deleted and re-dl'ed FF. Still to no avail.

    My firefox did this too. I don't know what I did but it randomly started working again.
