OK, my Firefox is on the latest version, 50.1, and "NoScript" is also up to date. It updated a couple of days past.
Now, FF is all but refusing to load the TS page(s), flashing an intermittent drop down warning bar, "this website is slowing your browser, what do you want to do". There's also a check box for "quit" or "wait". The issue appears to be limited to TS, at least of the types of pages I've loaded thus far with it.
The drop down warning isn't stable to the point you could actually check a box. It's just intermittent flashing.
The rest of the browsed sites seem to be working much better, albeit with a slight but noticeable slow down.
This machine is granted, far from a powerhouse. Its specs: Win 7 32 bit, 2GB of DDR-2 800Mhz RAM, G41 board, a Pentium Dual Core E-6300 (No, not the original Core 2 Duo E-6300).
I haven't tried loading the site with another machine.
The question, have you done anything to the site very recently which might cause this? Has anyone else noticed an issue?
I should have, I expect, closed the browser, gave it the big CCleaner treatment, and then rebooted before I posted this. But what the heck, "fools rush in", or so they say.
Although FWIW, I've never actually experienced a reboot doing much of anything running Win 7. Now XP, is a whole 'nuther story.
UPDATE, (pardon the pun): I rebooted, and installed the latest version of the Flash Player. Techspot loaded instantly as the only tab open. The Flash update seems to have put out the little red box in the address bar..
I should also mention the issue I am, (or was?) having, was on resume from standby. From a cold launch, Techspot loaded immediately. ...As always , I remain yours but still , captaincranky
