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 
Is anyone else having the same problem when viewing via firefox?
cant say it has got better, but i also cant say it is worse.
No probs have happened since the update though.
daveh75:for me this site has become slightly more reliable.
That's probably the complete rebuild of the website that we put live a week past Thursday that's doing that...
All my Firefoxes have been doing this for months, I'm always reloading pages here, it's pretty irritating.
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.
Seems to be working fine at the moment..... fingers crossed.
It's been playing up again for the last two days..... but Firefox has just updated and it's flying along now 
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.
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.
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?
Not a clue - latest version of Feuerfox running here on an external log-in, and all is well...
Hmm, I just had to reload this page seven times so I could post a reply. Maybe it's trying to tell me something. 
Can't help thinking may be something else your end...
I don't think so Andrew because the same problem doesn't occur on any other website. All I can think of is the broadband connection is blocking the site at the end of the page download. But if that was the sole reason, a page wouldn't load at all. It's not because I have 'Block pop-up windows' selected as I've tried this site with that on and off and it makes no difference.
I've also tried changing a few of the browser preferences, such as selecting 'Accept all cookies' but to no avail. Sometimes computers do the weirdest things that just defy logic and I've had problems before that seemed to rectify themselves after I've spent hours trouble-shooting them.
