MSDN site is very slow on firefox. although it is superfast on IE
i am accessing https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/ using Firefox and the pages take minutes to load. although it loads super fast using internet explorer. i suspect that Microsoft may implemented some tricky behavior in their site. however, i would like to ask first if this is a common issue or not.
