What I've tried so far:
1.) Upgrading/updating flash to latest version.
2.) Disabled ALL Firefox extensions and add-ons.
3.) uninstalled and reinstalled ALL Firefox extensions and add-ons.
4.) Restarted browser and computer.

I've pretty much done everything besides uninstalling and re-installing Firefox which should be a last resort as I don't want to have to start backing up bookmarks/add-on/extension settings and also end my current session.
The funny thing is everything on Bloomberg.com works perfectly fine on the guest account of the same exact computer and my brother's.

That's how it should look.

What changed?
Firefox 3.6.x never gave me any such problems. :\
I upgraded to Firefox 4 on recommendation by the software only two days ago and I now almost regret it.

Doesn't look like it uses Flash. I'd look at any content blocking addons you have, and try completely removing them. including residual config files. Maybe a cookie issue?

I went to the site & there was a bar at the top of FF that said something like ""FF wouldn't allow the site to reload" & i had to click on the "Allow" button, but that didn't fix the problem.
I then started allowing parts of the page in NoScript & refreshed after each.
bloomberg.com
scorecardresearch.com
gottraffic.net

it was after gottraffic.net was allowed in NoScript that the chart at the top of the page loaded.

The "JNJ" search works now also but i'm not sure at what point it started to work.

gottraffic.net it is.
I'm not sure how it was working before and why it stopped working since I use the site every day.
I wonder what changed in the Firefox 4 upgrade? Unless they updated their website a few days ago and redirected their scripts the same day I updated Firefox(but what are the chances of that happening on the same day?)

Bloomberg.com and gottraffic.net are the only things I have allowed on the site in NoScript and it works fine now. Whew.

Thanks guys.
