Trying to communicate on Hotmail is near impossible...click to do anything and immediately firefox goes to Not Responding and drops all other tabs...when it recovers, have to repeat the click and maybe go forward one stage..scrolling is the same. Using YM it seizes up with the slightest opportunity for maybe 3 minutes...conversation ender! Some websites are forever loading.

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 key to show the Menu Bar

-> Many problems with loading web pages can be resolved by Clearing Firefox's Cookies and Cache:

-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on Cookies & Cache -> click "Clear Now"

-> Configure your Network Settings and whichever setting works, keep it Permanent:

1) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option1 -> Click OK -> OK

2) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option2 -> Click OK -> OK

3) go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> click "Settings..." button infront of Connection -> select option3 -> Click OK -> OK

Check which solution works.
