Just recently Firefox started to display a "Loading..." message in the middle of every page I go to in Breitbart.com (doesn't happen in any other website).

It appears about 2 seconds AFTER the page loads or press F5. The background goes dark suggesting it's modal. It lasts for about 1 second and then goes away and everything appears normal.

I've been told this is a Cloudflare anti-DDoS CDN protocol issue, but I'm not so sure of that.

I've started up in Clean Mode and get the same behavior.

TIA

Since you responded to my issue I thought it good to update you on my issue. After spending half of my weekend on this, upgrading FF, downgrading FF, scanning for viruses, and just about every thing else I could think of, I deleted my cookies. Problem solved.

Is there a reason for the older version? I do not see the issue. How about seeing what happens in the current version of the browser? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

Thanks for your speedy reply, jonzn.

I've gotten tired of upgrading because I discover features get changed or removed and it becomes a hassle. I'm still running Windows 7.

This issue began about a week ago. I use Microsoft Security Essentials and ran a scan with that and another anti-virus program and they didn't find anything.
