So I have had issues with ESPN not working correctly on 2 separate computers- each with Win 7 and Mozilla installed for months. When I go to ESPN.com, as soon as the page loads it freezes....then loads some more...and then freezes again...and repeats this process until after about a minute I get an error message about Shockwave- may be busy or may have stopped responding. I've tried countless times to fix Shockwave to make sure it's up to date and have not had any luck.

I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions...

Thanks

You can check for issues caused by plugins and set all plugins to "Ask to Activate" on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" page (plugins are not affected by Firefox Safe Mode)
