Hello,

I have the site espn.com bookmarked and for the last month or so it has been opening it's various foreign sites instead of the united states version when I click on the bookmark tab. It will switch to the UK and Mexico sites randomly when I click on the tab. The address is saved as the US version (espn.com) when this happens so I can't figure out why it's doing it. It doesn't matter if I use a vpn that says I'm in the US or just my regular internet provider in the US, the site keeps changing what country it chooses to open with. I noticed that every time I click the tab it will cycle between the various different sites for each country even though as I said before, the bookmark is set for espn.com. It makes no sense as none of my other bookmarks do this and it doesn't do it when I use Safari's browser. Is there anything on my end I can do to get this to stop or is it coming from espn.com's end? Thank you for your time and help.:)

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning! ! This will log you out of sites you'relogged in to. You may also lose any settingsfor that website.

  • Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer {web link}
  • How to clear the Firefox cache {web link}

If there is still a problem,

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. ClickStart In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh).Is the problem still there?

While you are in Troubleshoot(Safe) mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature wasadded to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

Yep it was the cache (both extra sites were saved there), thank you!
