For a while now when ever I'm web surfing on fire fox the loading just sorta freezes, the loading circle animation keeps spinning but the page won't move from where it is *usually either all white or half loaded*, and the loading bar at the bottom sits still. No matter how long I wait it won't move at all. Often it won't make it to the page at all, the website will be greyish brown *the color of the tabs,menus, ect.*, the address will be in the navigation bar up top but the refresh button will be greyed out. I can usually fix this too by hitting the link to the page again but sometimes it takes a while for it to work and it's become really frustrating day after day.
Also, when I go to wikipedia on firefox *and some other websites sometimes* I can't see the images, about 9/10 of the times the image will be clear with the image icon in the corner as if it were loading, but then it'll kinda give up and dissapear as if the image weren't there at all. Half the time I can fix it by useing Internet Explorer instead but it still sometimes won't show anything. Please help ^^()

If you have loaded up Firefox with extensions, you might want to disable them all, then turn them back on one at a time to see which one(s) might be causing the problem(s). You can also run Firefox in "Safe Mode" from the Windows Start menu (this starts Firefox without any extensions).

The simplest --and often effective-- fix to try is to uninstall Firefox using Control-Panel->Add/Remove Programs, and re-install it 'clean'. Your Bookmarks and most setting *will* be preserved.

*really sorry for the double topic*
Thank you for your help, it seems that the first problem is a problem with my Verison so i'm going to go search for a solution for that, but the wiki one i don't have a clue about ^^;
