Problems Loading pages

[killian6pk]

I use Firefox (latest version) and not all the time, but most of the time when I go to a site like Ebay the page will take forever to load. I have made the changes that BadCaps suggested to my about:config file and this has not changed anything. I can go to other sites and not have any problem loading the page at all. Is this a Firefox problem or a problem with example Ebays servers? Is there a fix for this problem? Most of the time if I wait the loading page reverts to a time out error message and I have to reload the page again. By the way I have DSL service.

Re: Problems Loading pages

Have you tried accessing the same ebay page with another browser? If you can access with no probs from another browser you know it's a Firefox problem. If it's just Firefox causing the problem, have you tried clearing Firefox's cache? I have had similar problems in the past and have sorted it by clearing the cache.

If none of the above work, run a full virus scan and a scan for malware, some malware will target specific sites and stop you accessing them. Malware bytes is a good free malware scanner.

Thanks I'll try the cache idea. I will try IE also. Already use MalwareBytes. Great program. Thanks for the help.
