Firefox shite won't go away

What can I do to make firefox actually load pages without
me having to refresh all the time.

Example: I click a link, firefox serves a nice clean empty
page. I hit refresh and the page loads. Sometimes it takes
between 2 and 78 clicks before it "catches" the page. Most
annoying is when I want to clean out my mailbox in hotmail.
The little window for reporting spam is blank. Over and over
again.

Is this a cache problem? How do I fix this?

Have you tried uninstalling firefox and deleting it's
profile directory?

Considering Microsoft's stance on compeditors, i'm not
really too surprised that you're having issues accessing
Microsoft Hotmail from something other than Microsoft
Internet Explorer.

If (Browser NOT IE) Then
 Break Hotmail
End If

Yes. That is fixed. This is a new problem. Maybe I just use
the web more than firefox can handle? I like firefox, but
I'm getting more and more annoyed with this quickloading of
pages. I can actually see the stuff flash by in the status
field. "Done"

If I had to wage a gander I'd say Microsoft is using some
proprietary JavaScripting that Firefox is having trouble
with.

Try opening the JavaScript Console (in the Tools menu),
clicking 'Clear', then refresh the hotmail page.

looks like this may be a common problem. you may want to try
asking a few questions there, if you feel like putting that
much effort into it.

Do you have any extensions installed?

I wish it was only hotmail. It's all webpages.

I don't want to use shit that doesn't work just because it's
anti-MS.

If its happening on all webpages, I'd say it's a corrupt
profile, a fucked up cookie, or possibly a wacky
extension..

Are you sure you completely deleted your old profile
directory?

\Documents and Settings\paco\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\wacky.folder.name


Was firefox closed when you deleted that folder?

Have you tried clearing your cache, cookies, history,
etc..?

If so, then it must be satan's handywork. I've been using
firefox since it was called phoenix, on several different
computers, and on several OSs and I've never had this many
problems, maybe I just got lucky..

fleetmouseticles may have additional advice... sorry, i have
failed you.

I don't have any of the same problems with the regular
mozilla. I deleted my profile, removed all cookies and
cleared the cache, but it doesn't seem to help.

I do. I have some registrations on a hotmail account, but
otherwise I now have the übercool gmail with gigalarge XXL
inbox size.

I also have 49 invites to give out to nice people.
