Ya sorry about posting in wrong section, didn't actually knew where to post, few more notes. Os:windows 7 x64. It actually loaded toady the first time, but then after turning it off and trying again it stopped working. In other forum I've got reply that it might have something to do with dns changer virus, but it seems that my dns isn't changed.

No problem, it happens. 
Are you able to ping facebook.com from within command prompt?
To load it, click start and type in the box cmd and press enter. Then type ping facebook.com
If it works, you will get four replies, if not they will all fail.
Also, have you recently change any security software (firewall, AV, malware cleaners etc) or removed anything? Did the problem begin after making a significant changes?

Then there isn't a problem with connecting in the back-end. E.g. on the networking side of the OS it is fine.
Sounds like its software (firewall permissions) related to me. What firewall are you using, and have you recently removed another firewall software?
Also, reset your internet connection (router), run disk clean-up, and from the command prompt type ipconfig /flushdns then reboot and try again.

I dug up that something is wrong with proxy, on Mozilla proxy settings I changed from use system settings to automatically detect and it worked, loads fine now, doesn't work on other browser, but probably same problem. Never had problems with proxy so nor really know about that stuff, but if it is possible I think that some virus changed system settings. Launched nod last night and it found about 30 threats. Downloaded malwarebytes today it found 11 threats and that was on quick scan, so I believe the I will launch full scan it will find even more. There does all this stuff come from never had so many infections before. Anyway thanks for your assistance.

Suggest you make sure the following is done:
Reset your browser proxies
Note: You may have been getting redirected when you did search. If the proxy is pointed at a malware site, that can happen.
=======================================
Since you had malware symptoms and found some malware, you might want to switch to the Virus & Malware Forum and check the system out. Although Malwarebytes may find and remove some malware processes, it may not find and/or remove all.

Reset your browser proxies

o Open Firefox, click on "Tools" then "Options" and then on "Advanced".
