    Hi all

    I have a Macbook pro runnin the latest version of OS X. I use Firefox and Safari.

    Recently it has started to not display some web pages coreectly such as asos.com and I get an error page saying the server cannot be found. I get this issue on both Safari and Firefox. All my software is currently up to date.

    Any ideas on what the problem could be?

    There is a Mac forum here: Mac forum.
    You could ask one of the mods to move it over for you.
    Actually, is this very recent? I've been having that problem on Saturday, ok yesterday, and started again this morning. If you leave it a while it loads ok again?

    Are you sure it’s a problem with your Mac? Sounds like the site was just down. What other sites are you having this issue with?

    Every second or third site I visit. Then I close and reopen firefox and it might or might not load the page

    Try a different browser, and also restart your router.

    Any adblockers or anti-virus software installed? Could also be a DNS problem. Are you using your ISP's DNS? Have you any other computers/devices on the network?

    I have avast installed. I have adblock plus on Firefox and Chrome, but nothing on Safari

    Not sure about DNS. I recently got eFibre.

    I have a games console, phone and PC connected by homeplug adapter.
