I can't get the forums to load in Firefox

Featured Replies

When I go to the page, FF just stops. Doesn't even load the address in the bar. I'm on 1.5. Any thoughts? Tony
Works fine on my pc with ff. Try going to the forums directly it may work that way.
restart your computer and check your internet connection.

Now that I've updated to 1.5 I can confirm that it works fine with C&G.

Hrm. I haven't restarted yet, but I can confirm that my internet connection is working fine. Totally weird. Clicking on a link, the status bar shows the proper place, but clicking it just makes it go straight to "Done". Entering it into the address bar directly, or by clicking the Favorite in a blank tab just makes it stay blank. No activity at all. I'll try rebooting.

just recently (the past day) i was having severe slowness with my connection. I restarted my router and that seemed to fix my issues.

Ok, I found out the problem and it was 1.5. Check out this article. It details a number of complaints about Firefox 1.5. Namely:

# Firefox's use of physical and virtual memory is exceptionally high. (I had this, usually about 300MB of RAM for FF)
# CPU usage spikes to 100 percent (usually while loading a Web page). (Had this too)
# The browser freezes up for seconds, minutes, or permanently. (Didn't happen to me)
# The browser won't launch until they remove an errant "firefox.exe" process in Task Manager. (Didn't happen either)
# The browser crashes suddenly (usually while loading a Web page). (Nope)
# The browser has trouble loading specific pages, but there's no commonality among users as to which pages won't load. (BINGO)
# The initial launch of Firefox loads slower. (Yes)
# Third-party application hyperlinks (such as a link in an e-mail message) take a long time to open a new Firefox tab or to launch the browser. (Yes)

So I went back to FF 1.0.7. Just puttin' it out there so someone else may be helped.

Some of these I get now using FF v1.07

# The browser freezes up for seconds, minutes, or permanently.  (Didn't happen to me)

This happens to me when loading up quicktime movies

# The browser won't launch until they remove an errant "firefox.exe" process in Task Manager.  (Didn't happen either)

Kinda random.. I'll be browsing, pages won't load, I close the browser reopen it up and it won't launch till I do this.

The first problem is QuickTime sucks on Windows. It doesn't work for me in FF, IE, or anything else. It's just useless. Tony
