When my AOL loads, it keeps on loading over and over again and I can't get it to stop long enough to read even one email.

When I click on Firefox, AOL automatically loads. The problem is that it keeps on loading AOL email over and over and over and telling me I have mail. I can't click on any individual emails because it starts to reload again. How can I stop it? I've tried restarting my laptop (Mac) and that doesn't work.

Please help in plain English....

Thanks, richleen12
