I was using firefox fine the other day closed it came back hour dlater and it start loading funny. I didn't take a screen shot, but the pages wouldn'y load fully and if I tried playing a web page game it wouldn't load. I found a solution for it by makeing a new profile, but not every thing is taking 10x longer then normal to load and as its loading firefox starts to act as its not responding and just stops until the pages is fully loaded, but once I try to go futer into the site, it just does it all over again. I tried safe mode and it didnt help... so help?

Your contribution unfortunately does not provide any details about firefox version, plugins and extensions used, the OS you are running etc. So I am playing by the ear and because you mention "playing a web page game" I suggest you check your plugins. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.

Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions. If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow Update button or a red Update now button, please update these immediately.

To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

Sounds like the flash plugin problem that is plaguing EVERYONE (regardless of browser).

I found that by going back to Flash 10.3 it helped stop the problems with the latest iteration. From what I've read, the latest flash (11) now uses it's own 'sandbox' to run stuff so whenever it breaks it makes browsers freeze for some time (usually about 10-30 seconds), but you'll notice that when it does, in Task Manager it'll show that firefox is using 0% and is responding - because it is waiting on flash to respond. ANYWAY without going on and on, here's a link to try the 10.3 Flash. I saw an instant fix, but have only been testing it for about 2 hours now with no problems.
