I use Firefox 30.0.
I just tried going on using IE8 and it seems to work better…as well as showing the ads over on the right side.
Firefox shows me the ‘Latest Forum Topics’ and the ‘Search’ and the ‘PR Wire/Headlines’ but does not show the ads. Last week when the speed was OK, there were also no ads.
This slowdown came on suddenly and did not coincide with my last Firefox update.
