My Anandtech hits never finish loading in Firefox, OK in IE

[Muse]

Today suddenly I can't hit any Anandtech Forums pages in Firefox 3.6.12 (latest?). I'm here in IE. Apparently I simply cannot load any Anandtech Forums pages in Firefox. There is no error message, no clue what's gone wrong, the pages just appear to be loading... for hours! This is an XP machine. What could be wrong? 😕

Try this checklist:

Are you using firefox:
Are you using shitty isp:

if you answered yes...

If you are asking about the system rigs section, I think it's no longer on the site.

I wasn't, but that's good to know. I used to have frequent problems updating my rigs. I make changes so frequently it's hard to keep up, anyway.

Edit: When I go to hit one of my rigs in my sig this message comes up,

We're having problems...

We are experiencing problems with the site; be assured our crack team of engineers and developers is all over it!

Check back soon!

Boy, does that sound facetious!

Yes, this did fix it. I didn't think of that. I don't reboot often, just when I have to. In fact, my Foxfire would not exit and I had to kill the app just to reboot! :\

The rigs section of anandtech is gone. Do a search and there are many threads about it.

I think it was more trouble than it was worth, at least for me it was often difficult. Plus, it was hard to keep it current, real hard. :\
