This probably isn't slack-specific, but this sub-forum is like home, so I'll post here.
My primary banking page, which I've visited daily since forever, suddenly takes many minutes to load, and many minutes more per page.
I have googled, extensively, but I haven't come up with a solution. This behaviour is unique to a single PC - the other PCs in my home are unaffected.
I'm using FF 3.0.3; however, I've tried with 3.1, without success.
The problem occurs in safe-mode, under my wife's profile, with individual and all add-ons enabled and/or disabled, etc.
I've removed my profile, etc.
To the best of my memory, the only changes I've made that may affect FF are upgrading to Flash 10, and an upgrade to Foxmarks addon. I reverted (temporarily) to Flash 9, without success, and I disabled Foxmarks.
As I've said, the issue only occurs on a single PC (and, yes, I've rebooted the PC (damn, I had an uptime record going, too...)and I've rebooted the router.)
Just wanted to update that the issue has been rectified.
IOW - problem solved (even though I wasn't looking to solve this anymore...)
I setup another box with squid>privoxy and now all internet traffic travels through it.
And now the particular page loads normally.
So somehow, however the caching was done locally was affecting the speed of this particular page. I was running privoxy locally, but not squid. However, the page was loading brutally slow with everything turned off. So I'm still stumped as to the cause, but it no longer matters.
