It seems that an upstream supplier has made changes that specifically
require an MTU of 1492. Problem solved.
Only some sites were affected, which made it confusing. I can't imagine
why anyone would do this and not tell anybody. My reseller couldn't tell
me who the upstream supplier is, except that it isn't TPG.
Go figure.

You probably refer to the drop of support for NPAPI (e.g. article in
http://venturebeat.com/2014/11/24/google-chrome-will-block-all-netscape-plugin-api-plugins-in-january-drop-support-completely-in-september/
about Chrome but Firefox is following cloesely behind).
There are temporary work-around provided by Google to keep letting
some plugins to be enabled by some sites, but they are all expected to
be gone by the end of 2015 so should better find alternatives soon.
As for the original question - I doubt that it's a plugin issue. It
sounds more like some of the dependent resources on these pages are
being blocked or otherwise (temporarily?) unavailable. What does the
JavaScript console show? Do you have some corporate proxy which could
be misbehaving?
Just for shits and giggles, I visited
www.trivago.com.auhttp://www.trivago.com.au
http://www.trivago.com.au and had no problem accessing it, even on
my flaky home ADSL2+ line.

What browser?
Recently, Chrome (and possibly Firefox) decided that all java
pugins (and
others like Silverlight) were unsecured, and the simply stopped
allowing
the plugins to work.
Broke countless business-related Web sites - I had a storm of
them, all
being blamed on the firewall, or the network.
I can't find the reference articles I dug up at the time as I'm
mobile,
but try a different browser and see if that helps.

I have a business ethernet internet connection from a TPG
reseller.
Suddenly some external websites or partial websites are
inaccessible from
local clients. I haven't yet figured out a pattern, but it looks
like
javascript or some such is holding up the webpage download. The
browser is
waiting for a script or css or something not immediately
obvious. I get the
same problem with different browsers.
Some sites work perfectly - eg Westpac. The ABC site works, but
after
apparently loading it then constantly waits for something but I
can't tell
what. Some google responses work and some don't.
For example, http://www.trivago.com.au waits indefinitely for
jse.trivago.com http://jse.trivago.com and never loads,
although I can telnet to port 80. BTW,
lynx works fine - which makes me more suspicious that it's CSS
or some such.
I rang the help desk late on Friday. They suggested DNS (??),
but I don't
think that's it because I tried using an external DNS server and
in any
case there doesn't seem to be any resolution problem. On their
suggestion
I've rebooted both the Cisco router and NTU with no change. Does
anybody
have any thoughts?
