While trying to load the website http://munster.gaa.ie the browser window shows some of the text of the website, then seems to freeze while trying to download more of the data. I could click the close button on Firefox but when i tried to re-open firefox the service was already running and needed to be ended from the task manager.

Worked fine in IE

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to load munster.gaa.ie
2.Close firefox
3.Try to open new firefox
Actual Results:  
Had to end the service running from task manager

Expected Results:  
The website should have loaded quick like it does in IE.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
