Hi,

Anyone else having this issue? 99% of the sites I surf - I have no issues, but bestbuy.ca is super slow - and usually I end up having to close out the browser altogether.

running firefox on ubuntu!

p.s. page loads fine on chromium on the same machine!

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
