I just upgraded to the latest version of Firefox and noticed that there does not seem to be a way of stopping a page from fully loading while it is in the process of loading. The older versions had this feature and I used it often. One site in particular that I deal with on a daily basis, has tons of advertising which can sometimes take forever to load, all the while rendering my every move useless. I found that by stopping the page before it fully loaded did not affect the parts of the page that I needed to get done what I had to get done, in other words, all the information that I needed to list my items was there well before all the ads loaded. So, instead of waiting for a full minute or two while the ads all loaded, I was able to click on "stop" and then get my work done. Maybe I'm just missing where this feature is? I should mention that I only really have problems at this one site but I do use it daily. Any help or suggestions wold be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time: Denny

Generally to stop a page from loading, you can press ESC or click the little grey x at the right end of the address bar that shows up while a page is loading.
