Mozilla has worked well (with ADblocker running)  on the FT web site until
today. I use the FT site as my home page and when it loaded today (Saturday)
Mozilla was completely stalled, and did not respond to any commands. I was
forced to terminate the program. To solve the problem I was compelled to use
Mozilla on the bookmark file and then disable ADblocker. With that Mozilla runs
normally on the FT site. Thus it appears  that some actions of adblocker are
causing an incomplete download and are interfering  with Mozilla.

The problem should be checked with the FT web site ASAP as it changes constantly

WFM with Mozilla 1.8a5 and Adblock. What for page elements do you block for ft.com?

per private e-mail from reporter: something other causes the problems (profile?
network?)
