This happens across all open tabs. The cancel/reload box to the right of the url displays the X for cancel even though the page appears to have fully loaded. If I try and refresh a tab, it shows the refresh symbol briefly then it goes back to the X. Eventually all the pages show the reload button, but I can't pin down anything specific that makes this happen.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
