Sorry Davor Poznič

The connection has timed out
 The server at askubuntu.com is taking too long to respond.
  The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.
  If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
  If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

thanks any other link
