I can load https://www.google.com.ph/ but not sites like mediafire.com, slade.mancubus.net; and other websites.

It only loads sites with http or https.

Really need to get this working guys, I have been trying to access a file for my game for a few hours now.

If nothing else works : would you try and contact your internet service provider, please  ?

Maybe you'd like to give this add-on a try :

Websites are supposed to start with http or https, that's how the HTTP protocol works.

if you want to open links to Darknet websites, you need Tor Browser.

When I click on mediafire.com the 'https://www.' is automatically added and the page loads just fine.

When I click on slade.mancubus.net it loads right away (no 'https://www.' added)

Still having this problem guys, it says Connection Timed Out whenever I try to connect.

Can this be an ISP problem? Or did I get infected by malware?

Nothing to worry about   ! If it only happens on certain websites then this can be a problem with the servers being overloaded. You can try to reload the page or possibly visit the website some time later.

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button or press "Ctrl + Shift + R"

It could also be a problem with your ISP not being able to handle all users that want to use internet at the same time. Just try again later.

For the record - exactly the same for me as Happy112 -

<When I click on mediafire.com the 'https://www.' is automatically added and the page loads just fine.

This doesn't sound like servers overloaded to me.

A web server is not always connected to the Internet, and does not have the same IP address all the time . (not all ISPs provide a fixed IP address for home lines)

Good add-on thought Happy112. SGT.Afr0 Back to square one. Have you tried Safe Mode? When all else fails try a different browser. Both of these are offered as diagnostic tests not solutions.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks and history and cookies and passwords and cache and exceptions, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

It doesn't work, even on Chrome. Heck even on other devices in my home too.

I'm also about to try that add-on. Hope it works.
