I am moderately computer savvy - meaning if things go right, I am ok - but when there are problems I don't know where to go!  Recently a problem has developed when I am looking at the "where to send" items.  Some days it is fine.  Other times (like this evening) I will view several of the troops' posts, then the screen kind of freezes - will not go to the next one I click.  After a few seconds, the item showing on the screen gradually fades until it is barely visible.  The computer is not completely frozen - I can click out (on the red square with the x) - then I get a message that Firefox has encountered a problem and it is trying to get Windows to fix it.  I can click on an option to reopen - which it does, going back to the screen I was viewing.  (Sorry, kind of hard to explain...).  This never happens with the forums here, nor with any other website.  I am not sure if it is my computer, FireFox, or this site.

Any ideas?

I use Firefox at home and the only problem I had was with the toolbar.  That froze up the whole thing and I had to re-install Firefox and reload all my bookmarks and stuff.  I have looked at a bunch of "where to send" folks in a row but maybe not more than 10 or 12 in one sitting.  Not sure this helps, just my experience.

Actually, REDUCE your cache!

The cache is an old idea from the beginning of the web when 'fast' was anything over 9kbps.  So, to load a page you have been to before, your computer first looks in your 'cache' to see if the page is there, and if so, grabs it instead of the one on the Internet, thus looking like your system is faster.

But, with fast Internet speeds, try actually reducing your cache (with all I do on the web, mine is set at 10mb, not the tons it defaults to) and change the settings to get a new page *every* time.

I am guessing you hit our site when the new menu bar was, well, new.  It was quickly updated to be FireFox friendly and should be fine for you.

Hope this helps.
