Firefox problem?

Since firefox updated last week I have been having problems trying to view the forums/posts. About 90% of the time when I try and either view the forums, read a thread or try and post a reply (including smilies) my browser just sits there and nothing happens. The only way I can get it to work is to either try reloading the page using the refresh icon a few times or I have to click on the thread a dozen times before it opens. Other websites seem to be working fine.

I have checked for updates including windows and tried virus/malware scanning and no joy. I use a combination of CCleaner,Malwarebytes, AVG anti virus and the microsoft "safety online scanner" and found no issues.

When it plays up I get one of two messages in the bottom left of the browser " Waiting for community.whathifi.com... " or " Transferring data from www.google-analytics.com... " . I then have to refresh a few times before it loads the page, or keep clicking a thread until it finally opens. Most of the time the progress bar in the bottom right of the browser is full but it still won't load Angry

Is anyone else having the same problem when viewing via firefox?

That's probably the complete rebuild of the website that we put live a week past Thursday that's doing that...Wink

Re: Firefox problem?

All my Firefoxes have been doing this for months, I'm always reloading pages here, it's pretty irritating.
No kit worth mentioning...

Re: Firefox problem?

The site was a bit slow this morning due to a server crash, but seems to be working fine now on Firefox and other browsers.

I have had this for months, not sure what is was. I did change my modem + seperate router for an all in one router modem.

Not been happy with the wireless side of this for a while, so just bought another one.

Things are working better now, saying that I did remove firefox and reinstall it at the same time.

Re: Firefox problem?

I am accessing the forum from a Mac and for the second day running I am having problems with Safari and Firefox. In both browsers the site loads but after opening a thread or 'view latest posts', the page suddenly goes blank. I can go back to the page and it loads ok but the whole page disappears again after a few seconds. So now the only way I can view the site and post is to use IE, which I'm doing now although that browser is overlapping all the headers and text with everything else so it is very difficult to read/use.

Re: Firefox problem?

An update on this: I just spent a while updating Firefox and Flash Player to the latest versions but to no avail, the pages still keep disappearing and the old copy of IE is slow and all over the place so it is very difficult to use.

So alas it's goodbye from me.

Re: Firefox problem?

Well not quite. My computer is still saying no most of the time. I have been able to post using Safari but not with Firefox. With the former I have to keep reloading the page until it decides not to disappear. JD, got any idea what it could be?

Re: Firefox problem?

Not a clue - latest version of Feuerfox running here on an external log-in, and all is well...

Re: Firefox problem?

Hmm, I just had to reload this page seven times so I could post a reply. Maybe it's trying to tell me something. :o
