Bug Description

Hello.

Today I've been unable to connect to the web pages I visit the most. My Firefox browser just keep loading and loading, until it finally says the server is taking too long to respond. I am still able to visit other web pages, but not three of my favourites. Re-connecting and restarting doesn't help.

Could you please suggest what might be wrong and how I can fix it? I've been using Ubuntu for about two months now.

Sincerely,
Kat

Thanks for your bug report. Are you able to view those sites now?

Could you please open a terminal and do a 'nslookup <your-site-name>' ? What do you get?

Thanks for reporting this issue and for helping to improve Ubuntu. In addition to the nslookup output, can you try to reach those sites via ping (ping www.site-you-are-visiting.com) ? Maybe, these sites were simply not reachable temporary?
