have you tried accessing the website from another computer? could this be an issue with the website not just your computer/browser? have you tried loading the site in IE or another browser to see if its available there? Some websites simply dont support firefox yet.

it works from other computers and it does not work with IE or fire fox on mine

Check your privacy settings. Sometimes you might have privacy//security settings to high and it wont allow certin traffic to come through. Or maybe it isnt high enough and the sites server doesnt want to send it since it is a secure sight, its going to make sure it has a clear channel. Are you using a laptop? if you are then there a other things that could be wrong ( dont wanna get into it unless i have to)

[Timmyd]

Ive been change security settings left and right with no result

How is your computer set up to connect to the internet?

Is it just that one site or is it multiple?

[Timmyd]

only secure sites, i have roadrunner

... Do you have a router?

[Timmyd]

no

[Michelle Celio]

Do you have a firewall?

and if it isnt too much trouble, what is your IP?

[edit]and so no one tires to hack you or anything only post the FIRST TWO sections

It should be formated like 255.255.255.255 only send 255.255.255.255

The easist way for me to get it is to hold down the windows key and hit "R" and that will open a run command and type in CMD and then that will open a command prompt and then type ipconfig [/edit]

Your problem could be a private unregistered IP address....

Is it Wired or WIreless?

his IP address would have nothing to do with it, nor would unregistered IP address nor if wired or wireless. Most likely this could be they either blocked the IP address ( did you try computers on the same network ie another computer in your house, or at different locations ie at school or library?), or this could be caused by needing to restart the browser before settings take place, maybe even restart the computer. what OS are you using? I found running my new install of 2003 server, it didn't let me into many websites period.

can you tell us specifically what websites you are trying to access?
also, if this is simply for an order you are trying to track, could you just access the tracking from another computer for the next couple days til you get it? or will you be having more shipments from this company?
