Why can't firefox open shortened URLs?
Firefox (and other browsers) is unable to load any shortened URLs. For example, I cannot open any links shortened by twitter or other shortened URLS, such as p.tl.
I always receive the "Problem loading page" screen.
How can I fix this?

So this link doesn't work: http://p.tl/dyaP
No it does not
not really a solution but take a look at this add-on that replaces short urls with the originals:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/long-url-please/
thank you
Yeah that hasn't solved the problem. Are potentially any settings in my computer that are blocking the URLS?
Can you open the p.tl site at all to create a link or does that fail as well?
No luck. I can access the site that uses the service - pixiv, but I can't use the urls themselves.
I have the same problem with Twitter's automatic URL shortening.
