All of a sudden I can't open Facebook. Can you help with that?
I am trying to open Facebook but for about a week now, all I get is an error page that reads:
The connection was interrupted
The connection to www.facebook.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Please update your plugins there have been security vulnerabilities found in the version of Flash that you have installed in the profile you filed this question from.
Then please check that there are no old cookies stored here Clear cookies and site data in Firefox and flush your local cache from cmd.exe by running /flushdns
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
