Verizonwireless.com login to my account fails: get error web page temporary unavailable.

I am using windows xp pro; Firefox/2.0.0.16 . When I try to login
to my account on verizonwireless.com I get an error that page is
temporally unavailable. All I get from verizon is that their site
only works with Internet explorer. However, I have always used
firefox since it first came out. I have two other computers, and
both of them are using windows xp and same version of firefox they
have no problem to log in. The computer that i am having problems
with logging into verizon, I have deleted cache, history, cookies
etc. I have it set to allow cookies, and also do not block pop-ups.
But still can not get it to work. I would assume that someplace in
my computer is hiding an error message that needs to be deleted. but
I can not find it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for the help.

If you check this blog, you will see reference to the error message I
am getting as well as an image of the error.

But since firefox works on my other two computers with no problems, I
am sure it should work on this one as well.

Have you checked the systems Hosts file to see if it has more than the
MS factory default example entries? Other causes of connection problems
are Firewall and AV and or anti-malware applications.

Try running in Firefox 'safe mode', first. If that still fails, then
make a new test profile. If the test profile works, you can migrate
your old bookmarks, and password files to the new profile.

I have turned off all security software, did not make any difference.
I will check my host file to see if something is in there that is
blocking but I do not think that is the problem as IE7 will connect
and the host file as well as the security programs would have the same
effect. Strange that I can connect on two other computers without
any problem running the same OS, Same Firefox, and security software
and on the same network.

Hello,

Thanks for the help, I tried safemode; did not make any difference. I
then created a test profile. Using the test profile, it did allow
me to log on the site ok. I am curious as to what the problem may
be that is keeping me from logging in under my old profile.
Any suggestions?

I use Verizonwireless.com with Firefox 2.0.0.16/Windows XP/SP2 with no
issues. I did create a shortcut to the logon page as it didn't remember
my password from the regular page.
Try this link: https://login.verizonwireless.com/amserver/UI/Login

Thanks Barbara,

I did have it working on two other computers, but this one did not
want to cooperate. However, by making a new profile corrected the
problem. So I just use the test profile when I want to go to verizon
wireless until such a time I can figure out how to repair my default
profile. I am sure there is a file that needs to be deleted perhaps.
Thanks to everyone who did reply and gave me tips to resolve this
issue.
