I have just installed Ubuntu. Everything seems fine, BUT Firefox will only load Google, Bing and Gmail. All other web pages stall; just keeps loading without getting anywhere. This is hopeless because you cannot update or do anything. I have once installed Ubuntu on my harddrive, and now on a USB stick: no difference. What is the matter?

  • I am afraid the problem persists. Same thing after reinstall. I should add that this problem is on a fixed internet connection. I don't have any problem with computers on wifi.

Check your home directory. Make sure that everything in there is owned by your user, and not root. Be sure to check ownership on hidden files as well.

ls -lah ~

I had the same problem with Ubuntu Gnome, and had to change ownerships on .gnome2 and .gnome2_private

chown -R username:username ~
