For the last couple of days it will not open at night time. Seems ok during the day, and opening just now.
Once when it would not load directly it opened ok through Google, what ever that implies?

Up until a couple of months ago I had to wait what seemed like forever for any pages to open especially at night time using whatever was the latest Firefox and 3BB. I used to blame everything but the browser. My son who is a Dell engineer advised me to use Chrome instead. I have not used Firefox since and not had any further trouble. Hope this helps.
Firefox has a lot of issues with the Flash Player Plugin which often opens multiple instances of itself, crashes and grinds the browser to a halt.
You can kill the processes in the task manager which will bring your browser back to life and disable it in Firefox or, as suggested above, use Chrome.

Well, I know bugger all about such things. But I am in Bangkok, using "Trueonline" with the cheapest service they have, and Windows 10 built-in browser, which seems to be called "Bing", and at least 10 times a day I click on the address in my favorites file, and get an instant connection. At night time it is the only site that does not work no matter how often I try. Sometimes, I go back again after about an hour, and it connects instantly again.

^ I find the same thing sometime after 0100 to perhaps 0200 or 0300, but I've always chalked it up to them updating their pages for the new day. Many times when they've come back up the content is different than what it was prior to them going down. Pete

I've been using Firefox for years now and have never had a problem. I been looking at the Bangkok Post every morning for the past 10 years or so and have never had a problem.
Now, suddenly, I haven't been able to connect for 2 days, though every other website is ok..... any ideas?
Just tried again using IE - same result!!!!
If its not the browser it is either malware on your machine or the ISP trying to censor things or having DNS issues (which is very common with True and 3BB).
Just tried again and it came up pretty much instantly ...

I've found it to be very slow from Europe for some weeks now, it basically takes 10-20 seconds to load. We have lots of different shared computers around the airport so I haven't got a clue about what browsers are used in them.
I've run scans of my computer with spybot and malwarebytes - situation still the same.
Installed Chrome and still cannot access bangkok post. Funnily enough, I can't get the Nation, either ......
