Started 2-3 weeks ago, XP PRO SP3 & FF3.5.1. Pages start loading OK then seems to worsen until stops loading with progress bar between 40 -80%. Frustrated, cannot use FF. Have deleted and reinstalled, same problem. Use webshots URL as test. 1st page wil load with numerous open items, no pics. will freeze on next page. Closed ZAlarm, no help.Exited all startups, no help. Can boot Ubuntu with FF3.0.13 and Win 7 RC with FF 3.5.2 with no problem. Using Ubuntu or Win 7 for serious surfing. Comcast download speed 21+ mb/s. Closed many XP services, no help.  HELP! 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open any URL
2.May or maynot freeze with no web page or partial web page
3.Click refresh button may/may not show page



Computer has 2 IDE & 2 SATA hard drives.  XP on one SATA, Ubuntu on 1 IDE, WIN 7 RC on other IDE. Can select OS at start of boot. The problem has manifested itself in the last 2 - 3 weeks with auto XP updates.  All current updates are installed.
