[closed] Firefox can't open Lockergnome correctly

This has been happening since about 2am Eastern on 23 June 2012, I'm trying to open Lockergnome, but it keeps failing to open the page, and if it does happen to open the page, I can't open any questions.

Using Chrome works, but Firefox is my primary browser (for now), it's been giving me a lot of problems lately, I don't know why.

Can anyone help? I enclosed a video on YouTube here: http://youtu.be/l1Ulrhumr3I

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium x86, with the latest Firefox being 13.0.1.

A reinstallation of Firefox fixed it but I went ahead and made Safari my browser of choice.

Firefox is very unreliavble due to it's constant updates and Betas, I recommend using Chrome or Safari.

Yeeah, I'm starting to use Safari (for Windows) more now, it's faster than Firefox for some reason.

I'm using Chrome as a secondary browser because every time I load more than one Flash site they all crash.

I'll admit, Chrome has Flash problems, and Safari for Windows is much faster than it was in the past. Always has been a good browser for OS X though.

Good looking out, Safari's a good browser! Going to use this as my primary for now. I'll see how this works out.

P.S.- A reinstallation of Firefox fixed the problem, but I'll kick Firefox away for now and use Safari.

First, I would try clearing the browser cache. If that didn't work, I would disable all the extensions. Third, I would try creating a new firefox profile (instructions here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles )

I have a suspicion it's related to an extension - extensions in general can sometimes be real resource hogs.

Thanks for your help, but nothing worked, not even the profile manager. I only had Adblock as a add-on, disabled that and it didn't work.
