Never thought I’d see the day when IE 7 is faster than FF…

Hani: Thank you for your detailed support. I have personally found Firefox to be rather dependable, and these issues only showed up in 2.0.0.12 (at least for me). Launching IE for that site won’t work for me either since i am a linux user (and don’t want to run IE under “wine”). If i face consistent trouble, i do usually use SeaMonkey or Opera instead.

I never had this issue with Qwaider planet, but I did have it on 1 or 2 sites on all versions of firefox from 1.5 all the way upto the version I”m currently running (3.0 beta).

If you want a workaround, you can:
a. Use IE for that site
b. Use the IE-view plugin, and set it to always load that site using the IE engine
c. Install a plugin called prefbar, which allows displaying a toolbar with individual checkboxes to instantly (on the fly) disable and enable things like (javascript, java, animations, flash, images, popups, cookies, etc.)
d. Stop using firefox all together

For me d is not an option since I use many features and extensions that are simply unavailable in IE. So far I’ve only hit 4 sites that I frequent, that must be loaded with IE. If you really like firefox, you can use the (report broken website) option in the help menu so that you will be sure someone will look into it.

Cheers

By the way, if the browser is taking too much time after the initial opening of the page then there might be something wrong with the cache. I think Fx has it’s separate DNS cache
