Webpages for Business Times / Journal frequently "hang" and only the page template opens.

When I click on a link from a Business Times / Journal, sometimes they will load but many times only the template of the page will open. If I click refresh many times, sometimes the page will eventually load.

Try to reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Command + Shift + R" (MAC)

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

I'll try what you suggest. I previously had disabled my extensions.
