A few hours ago a specific website http://www.jpost.com became inaccessible in Firefox, and began to behave as if unrecognized by the DNS. Calling its URL caused my own home page to be displayed instead (this is what happens when a non-existent URL is entered in the navigation field). When this continued for so long as to become suspicious, I logged into WinXP in VirtualBox, and found that the same website is accessed normally, so there is nothing wrong with the website, which made me think that I needed a new profile.

The new profile is also unable to access the website. The same thing happens on Opera and on Konqueror, so the problem has nothing to do with a specific browser. There is also no problem with other websites.

I am behind two separate firewalls (hardware in my router and openSuSE software.

I am out of ways to diagnose the problem. Does it make sense to anyone?

With konqueror, in settings, you have the ability to set the browser identification, try setting it to one of the internet explorer versions. Regards

That worked.

It seems also to have worked for Firefox; I then tried to load the problematic site, and reached an error message saying that the site is overloaded come back again -- which is an apparent improvement. Assuming that it is, I remain confused about how it could have happened that the malfunction appeared initially on FF, Opera, and Konqueror.

No, false alarm. Konqueror remains able to access the site properly, Firefox still can't, unless I give it the full directory and file.
