I recently had to have my laptop in to have a new hard drive installed. I had FF 28 before and had no problems regarding this, it would load them and have no issues with it stopping loading. Ever since I got 29 it started. I have done everything I could find on here with regards to any problem similar to mine and they all have not worked, uninstalled, reinstalled, Malware scan, Virus Scan Reset Firefox. I have noticed that it just Imgur it seems to do this with, though it does it as well when browsing Imgur when on Google Chrome. I am hoping it is not a hardware issue, just got it back I don't want to have to send it back again.
