I noticed tonight that some websites were not loading fully on firefox. I tried to use Safari to see if it was a firefox problem but it had the same problem. However, when I loaded those sites on Google Chrome they worked fine.

I tried resetting firefox and clearing the cache but it didn't help so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but it still won't load those web pages properly. It just shows it as constantly trying to load and bits of the site are missing or broken. I'm on a Mac using Mountain Lion software. I updated the Java plug in but it doesn't seem to have done anything to help the situation.

You can also try to disable IPv6.

You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.

You may want to try creating a new profile or disabling hardware acceleration.

It fixed itself later today. I'm thinking the internet was lagging and it was slowing the page loading accordingly. Wish I could offer more, it just started working of its own accord when I got home from work today.
