  Need more info.
  

  • How do you connect - wireless or via ethernet?
    
  • Does it happen only on the same websites?
    
  • Does the same thing happen when using Internet Explorer?
    
  • When the page doesn't load, is the internet connection still active - check the router lights and (if applicable) that the wireless is still connected?
    
  • Any changes made prior to this occurring (new software installed/uninstalled, new telephone equipment, etc)?
    
  • What AV do you use and have you run a recent scan with Malwarebytes? If not, do so now.

  Had the same when I upgraded to FF 3.6, lasted about a day and then back to normal.

  Possibly the DNS you're using - I've had OpenDNS not load sites for me a few times and gone back to my providers DNS and the site has loaded fine (and vice-versa).
  Sometimes accidental blocks etc...
  
  Next time a site won't load up I'm gonna try Google's Public DNS.
  OpenDNS (it's not open source as many people believe) is still supposedly the fastest, but reliability is more important.
  
  Tho', 'At the end of the day' (yuck!) it depends on whichever route you're taken to the site you're after and whether any servers are down on that route.
