I think that 80% of the onion sites I'm trying to reach are most of the time (if not always) unavailable. It tells me that

Firefox can't estabilish a connection to the server at *****.onion

and

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 Tor Browser is permitted to access the Web.

I'm running TBB 4.0.1 for x64 Linux and I don't use firewalls or proxy servers.

Why does it happen and how can I fix this issue?

Can you connect to Tor Check? Does it confirm that you are connected to Tor? If so, then the hidden services you are trying to access are down.

This is pretty common. Torland isn't known for its stability. Hidden services come and go without any trace all the time. Try connecting sometime later.
