hi I'm using Firefox 8.0 on my windows vista laptop. If I'm on a web page (such as google news), most links will load OK> however certain links I click on will open a new window that shows "transferring data from ..." but page never loads. If I close the window then click on the SAME link again it usually loads rite up. I've tried other browsers (chrome) & this doesn't happen. I was going to switch because it's really annoying, but I like Firefox a lot. Any suggestions? I have followed the instructions for "certain websites not loading" and this didn't help.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
