    Hi

    I'm trying to find a solution to a problem i'm having accessing the netdoctor.co.uk site using firefox (2.0.11).

    i can browse to their homepage, but clicking on a link it starts to load and then hangs before completing. the status bar at the bottom shows "transferring data from secure-dk.imrworldwide.com".

    works fine in IE.

    I dont have many extensions, just a dictionary and realplayer downloader. No 3rd part firewall, just Vista's and turning that off doesn't help.

    there's no cpu spike, firefox just can't finish loading the page and i get the busy vista icon. eventually have to kill the firefox process.

    can i just ask if anyone else gets the same problem please? an example is the link below:

    thanks

    Hello,
    Loaded fine in about 2.33 seconds...
    Clicked some random links about on the site, each one loads in about 1 seconds. Using some 15 extensions, no problems...

    Hello,
    Yup... But I could try 2.0.0.11 on one of the test machines to see how it works...

    Everything on the site works fine for me if I allow it through NoScript, both Linux and Windows FF.
