A new problem with Firefox but not a major one but still something that really annoys me. I have Firefox 45.0.2. and Windows 7.

Since yesterday, each time I tried looking at Vines videos the page shows up but it won't simply load at all! The only thing I see is this little spinning circle as shown in the photo. I don't get any error messages or anything else. I left home with that Vines page open and when I arrived 2 hrs later itstill hasn't load!

I know I can watch these on my IE browser but I would prefer watching it on Firefox which is the main browser I'm using!

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the cache and remove the cookies from websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

"Clear the cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove the cookies" from websites that cause problems.

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
