    If you hit reload does the page load correctly for you? I have seen that happen once or twice, but it's definitely not 75%. :eek:

    Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The majority of the time it still doesn't load properly no matter how many times I refresh. I have to quit firefox altogether and start it back up, which is a bitch when you have 5+ tabs open. :(

    Try clearing out your cache if its a website you've already vistited, alternatively make sure you firewall isn't blocking firefox or some of the websites that the images are from

    There must be something wrong, sometimes I have 30+ tabs open and it works.

    It's very possible that FireFox is blocking stylesheets. I once had this problem, and took several hours to find the solution. Click View -> Page Style and make sure Basic Page Style is selected. If No Style is selected it means FireFox is stopping the Stylesheets from taking effect.

    Hope this helps :)

    You're on a mac. Doesn't that make you different to most of us windows users?

    Back when i used Firefox when it updated to version 3, I had a lot of problems with it and it kept crashing and not only was it slow compared to Google Chrome, but it was really annoying. Using Google Chrome can load 2 pages at the same time as Firefox loading one page.

    I'll try this, but it's happening on sites that I've never been to. I'll also check the firewall, but it doesn't make sense that it wouldn't block it 100% of the time if that was the problem.

    Thanks for the suggestion, checked it out and it was already set to basic page style.

    Either you have a really slow internet connection, something blocking your IP or you need to clear your cache more regularly.

    I've never had this issue before. Have you checked your pop up blocker settings? Try clearing out your cache and cookies if it's constantly happening.

    You should check to make sure you have not been infected with a browser hijacker malware.
