I have disabled no scripts and still same problem, most all links from Yahoo takes a minute or more to load. Looks like it has to do with accessing yimg.com. Copy same URL and use in IE and no problem.

This is an example that takes forever to load http://news.yahoo.com/americans-favorite-adult-beverage-121426599.html, while running you will see something like 1.yimg.com (the sub domain always seem different) reading in lower left corner, upper left corner you will see FF not responding and if you wait long enough some ads appear on the right side of yahoo screen and then the page is complete, FF frees up. While waiting FF is locked up on all tabs.

Running Windows 7 Ultimate, with latest update, FF 31.0

This has just started in the last few days and the only updates I made was to current version of FF today to see if that fixed problem and also noticed noscripts loaded new update. However I have run this test with noscripts disabled.

I should add that I don't have this problem in safe mode, but my few add on and extensions are all up to date. I guess I can disable them one by one to see if it is one, I guessing if safe mode is okay, it has to be either an add on or extension?

It os no scripts, if I remove noscripts Yahoo links run fine. Even if I just tell noscripts to allow global scripts, it hangs up. I actually have to remove.

Also I did a new load of noscripts and it still fails.
