I have a Dell Studio 540 with Windows 7 Home Premium (upgrade from Vista) and I use Firefox 18.x.x as my browswer. I also use Thunderbird 17.x.x as my email client. This morning I clicked the following link in Thunderbird from a PCWorld newsletter: http://www.pcworld.c...ml#tk.nl_secur. This link, and many others, brings up Firefox but the page will not load. I waited about a minute each time this morning before closing out the browser since the page wouldn't load. I disabled all add ons and tried again but still pcworld.com would not load the page. I then copied the page's URL in to IE9 and after a short delay the page loaded and I was able to read the article.

Any ideas why I would have such a problem loading articles in Firefox? Thanks for your time and support.

Try deleting the hashtag and the stuff after it in the URL. Without doing that, it doesn't load for me either. (Chrome for Android)
