no probs here.what version of FF you using Ray.


I have noticed lately that on odd occasions with FF I get slow loading pages,your link did, and the page hangs for a while.I stop the load and a refresh seems to get it back to normal.Haven't found what it is yet though  :dunno:

I'm using version 3.6.8 which is the most recent as far as I know, Baz.

Well I've just tried the page in FF on my other machine and it works fine, I use the Febe addin to back up my FF profiles so I've just restored a profile from a couple of days ago onto my main MC, the page now works fine.

So it would seem my FF profile on this machine was corrupted and causing the problem. :phew:

I've noticed this fault too, would report it to Mozilla but can't pin it down.
