FF freezes all of a sudden...on just one site that I use daily
Hi all,
I use this page for years to get news on China (http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/society.html) It's obviously legit. Since two days ago when the page loads the CPU usage goes to 50-60% and stays there and FF starts to freeze, becoming unusable.
Interesting point: I just loaded the site on IE 8 with no problems. Some script they are using doesn't jive with FF it seems.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thank you Fred. I didn't realize it was so simple. It seems clearing the cache and cookies solved the problem.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
