Your ISP's DNS might have issues. Try using an alternative DNS such as OpenDNS (www.opendns.com has all the guides etc, just hit Get Started)

Seems like DNS problem, try switching to OpenDNS

This might also help : *support.mozilla.com/kb/Error+loading+web+sites

Look in the DNS subsection of All programs are having problems when the given link opens up.

The problem may be with IPv6 ("Internet Protocol version 6"). To disable IPv6, change the preference network.dns.disableIPv6 from "false" to "true" . Here are the steps:

   1. Type about:config in the address bar, press Enter.
   2. Find network.dns.disableIPv6 in the list.
   3. Right-click -> Toggle.
   4. Restart Firefox/Mozilla Suite and try again. 

If this doesn't work, re-enable IPv6 by resetting the preference to "false".

Does this help?
