Radish Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 This isn't anything critical but maybe something that the webmaster might like to sort out (the issue is a longstanding one). I use Firefox to browse the forum. Whenever I get to any forum webpage the 'icon' shown on the Firefox tab is a rotating circle (i.e. meaning the webpage is loading). Problem is it remains 'stuck' at that - the icon never changes to the blue icon 'M' - meaning the page is fully loaded. The only way to get the icon to change is to click on the 'cross mark' at the right-hand side of the address-bar (i.e. tell Firefox to stop loading the page). Then the icon changes to the 'M' icon. Like I said nothing critical, but could do with attention if there's a perfectionist around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Dunno what's going on with that.What version of FF are you using on your Win7x64 OS?I have v12 on XP/2K3 and don't get that. Do you by chance have a Plugin/AddOn working its butt off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Each forum page may scripts from 3 companies:- Facebook (3)- Amazon (1)- Google (5) Any one of the scripts could load slow, causing this. In this case, your browser should show a "loading/waiting for" in the lower left saying what it may be stuck on. FWIW I don't get this happening here either, but I've seen it on other sites from time to time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Try disabling javascript and reloading. If that fixes it, dynamic ads might be the cause--sometimes those servers are very slow to respond. Or the script might be requesting an ad image and then crashing before displaying it, thus rendering of the image is never completed and the spinner is not removed.I see this sometimes in FF2 on ad-sponsered sites that require javascript to function (like webmail).

Radish Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Mmm... I downloaded and tried going to the forum and loading pages in TOR Browser. Worked fine, no stuck spinner. So it would seem the case is that there is some addon (or maybe setting) is causing the problem in my normal browser (I don't have JAVA on the system at all).Ah, well.
