slow dial-up, photobucket pages won't load correctly - tested other hosting sites, same problem - they look like they timed out or got disconnected mid-load. Problem started several months ago - prior to that PB loaded slow, but always worked.

also have some trouble veiwing imgur images posted on discussion forums.

have not noticed any other websites giving trouble, but I don't surf around much. have done all kinds of things as directed by PB help people, advice here on Firefox, all updates are complete, no extensions or add-ons, scanned, cleared, refreshed, etc etc etc. security is malwarebytes and MS Security Essentials.

Problem also happens in IE, so what else can I do? is it just my slow connection? why did it suddenly start happening? connection speed (crawl) is the same as always. help! thank you!

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

thanks for the reply,

disabling hardware acceleration did not help, I don't have any extensions and am already using the default appearance/theme.
