Using ff 3.5.2 sometimes the red cross "stop loading page" gets ghosted and doesn't work. I suspect it's loading ads and stops you stopping the ads getting delivered but I don't really don't know. I've had a look on the internet but can't find anything exactly right. Anybody got any info on this? Maybe it's a conflict with another program.
XP pro
Malwarebytes
CCleaner
AVG
Windows firewall
Any ideas much appreciated.m

801140 2009-08-15 00:13:00 Yes thanks, and Ctrl + R does too, but I was wondering what causes this ghosting. mark c (247)
801141 2009-08-15 04:32:00 Start it in safe mode, which is firefox in a fresh new profile and without any addons.

Run>firefox -safe-mode

801142 2009-08-16 01:10:00 Hmm well thanks for that but I don't really want to operate in safe mode. mark c (247)
801143 2009-08-16 01:35:00 No, the point of this is to test whether if its firefox itself that is the problem or addons/profile! Blam (54)
801144 2009-08-16 02:31:00 Oh I see. So I go start/run> space hyphen safe hyphen mode. OK. Never knowingly added any add-ons. I'll give it a try and get back to you. At a different computer right now. mark c (247)
