Default Internet Browser help

I am running Firefox on a Macbook Pro. Recently I tried loading my Tumblr page via a Twitter link and it wouldn't load. I thought that Tumblr may be down, but it wasn't.

I tried my direct domain for the Tumblr site and it loaded (moderncliche.com).

It has been three days and I still can't get Tumblr to load and a couple other sites. I've tried to clear my cache and everything in my history. But still nothing.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I'm not firmilliar with Tumblr.

Just a sec.

Still no clue, some sort of mobile tweet app?

What error are you getting when you try to load the page? Server not found?

Tumblr is just a blogging site. I use it to blog iPhone pictures.

And yes, it just loads and loads and then gives me this:
The connection has timed out: The server at www.tumblr.com is taking too long to respond.

Try it from there and see if it works.

it's either a corrupt link, or a virus.

Send an error report, and i have no clue what to tell you to run on a mac to fix a virus if that is the problem.

I didn't know MACs could get viruses, and how do you get around a corrupt link.

Like I said, Moderncliche.com IS tumblr.

Can you get to both of the links you just posted? I can.

I mean, by clicking on them from your post.

Nope.

Top link doesn't work.
Bottom link works like a charm.
