Some sites (nytimes) take forever to load - seems to relate to graphics or CSS files. Problem occurs in safe mode. No problems on same sites using Chrome.
By forever, I mean that the loading icon spins and spins. Often, but not always, if I stop the load and reload, the page loads instantly.

Hello sjkappel,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies do the following:
- Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
- Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
- Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
- From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
- Now click the Clear now button.
Further information can be found in the Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
Thanks, ideato, but no luck. I cleared both cache and cookies, tried in both regular and safe mode, but same behavior.
If it helps, once I've been to a site during a session, there's no problem after the initial visit.

Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using one of the following steps:
- Hold down the Shift key and click the Reload button with a left click.
OR
- Press Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows and Linux)
