Hi zikoeidos!

Go to adobe site and install flash player for other browsers.

Hope this helps and keep us informed!

[zikoeidos]

i've already installed flash player i don't think that's because of it

[xilolee]

Have you tried to uninstall it and then re-install it?

 

Open firefox, press ctrl+shift+a --> opens add-ons window

Or open firefox, click tools (menu), click add-ons

Check if shockwave flash is "Always enabled"

 

(I'm using: win 8.1 x64, FF25.0.1, shockwave flash 11.9.900.152 - 11.9 r900)

[zikoeidos]

yes i tried
but nothing changed i think i have to re-install the windows

ps: youtube is not the only site who dosen't load

[xilolee]

Type/copy in the firefox address bar about:support, then click reset firefox

[zikoeidos]

i've tried it too and i installed opera and IE still the only one who can load certain pages 

 

 

 

[xilolee]

Which other sites don't work (if you can tell them)?

[zikoeidos]

imdb/youtube/facebook/ign/.....

a lot more like google search results

[xilolee]

Inside firefox tools, options, advanced tab - general (sub)tab, untick use hardware acceleration when available, click ok, close firefox, start it and try to navigate those websites...

If this works, you could find a similar option inside the other browsers (if you want to use another browser that it is not firefox, nor MSIE).

[zikoeidos]

i tied it but nothing new i thing i'm going re-install windows 7 or install windows 8.1 because this problem not because of some thing wrong with the browser i thik the problem is on the system because i installed opera and safari and both won't work like IE

[xilolee]

Have you tried to launch sfc /scannow (from an elevated command prompt)?

[zikoeidos]

i've tried it

[xilolee]

Have you tried with the firewall disabled?

 

It seems that some antiviruses not correctly uninstalled could cause this behaviour. If this is your case, run their special uninstaller for their programs.

Just as an example: if you have used Norton antivirus --> download and use Norton removal tool (for Windows)

 

Another try (I use firefox as an example, but you can do the same for the other browsers):

close firefox

go to C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

rename the present profile

example: Mine is q3m3lfud.default --> q3m3lfud.backup

[zikoeidos]

i've tried it there is something i forgot to tell you whene a page won't load i reload it for 7 or 8 times then it may load

[xilolee]

Have you tried to rename your profile? (i was editing my previous message)

[zikoeidos]

i tried it it didn't work and i instaled torch browser and the pages load pefect but i can used to it i like firefox more then any one

[xilolee]

Are you using ipfilters? Peerblock? Peerguardian?

Are you using/changing your HOSTS file?

Are you using any special antispyware program, like, just as an example, spybot search and destroy?

Which programs have you recently installed on your system?

Are you using p2p programs? If yes, are these programs running when the problem appears? Or does your problem appear even if your p2p programs are not running?

Have you tried to scan your PC for malware?

For example, with these programs:

adwcleaner (click)

Junkware removal tool (click)

superantispyware free (click)

sophos virus removal tool free (click)

MBAM free (click)

stinger 32 bit (click) or stinger 64 bit (click)

(according to your windows BIT version)

MS Safety Scanner 32 bit (click) or MS Safety Scanner 64 bit (click)

(according to your windows BIT version)

[zikoeidos]

i'm not using anything like ipfilters or somthing like it just the programmes i was using before this problem till now and i scaned for adwares and malwares and no threat detected

 

there is no solution for this damned problem

Have you tried to start firefox in safe mode ?

(press and keep pressed shift on your keyboard, click firefox, click start in safe mode)

Have you tried to perform a Windows clean boot/startup?

How to perform a clean boot in Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista OR Perform a clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering with your game or program

Have you tried to start Windows in safe mode?

[zikoeidos]

i started windows in safe mode  with networking and and firefox works perfect

but why it won't load in normal mode is that because of background program

[xilolee]

Wow! Finally a result

Try the clean boot (its like safe mode, but you can enable few programs at a time)

[zikoeidos]

that all happened because of Ad muncher whene i disable it the pages load but if i enable it nothing load i'm going to remove it

thank you so much for your help

[xilolee]

Thanks to you for having said the culprit

Problem was: Google chrome (31?), mozilla firefox 25, opera (18?), safari (5.1?) weren't loading some webpages, like imdb.com, youtube.com, facebook.com, ign.com (and so forth).
Only MSIE 11 and torch browser didn't have this problem (they were not affected by it)

After a lot of tries, just starting the pc in safe mode revealed that the browsers were working good.

Culprit program was Ad muncher.

Why? Don't know... Maybe it was incompatible with some other installed programs on zikoeidos's pc.

i found up an other thing i disabled http checking in eset smart security 7 and i enabled ad muncher and browsers work good
