Firefox locks up for a minute or two when loading pages on popular news websites like MSNBC,COM. When this happens the bottom status typically ready something about a link to twitter.

I do not use twitter and it is likely the company firewall blocks it if it uses any non-typical port.

I had to download the old version of the browser due to this problem.
