    Browser issues

    Currently using Firefox 43.0.4, and used FF since forever inside Win 10 and as FAIK everything's up to date...

    In the last few weeks I've been unable to access certain sites.

    No, not those sites, sites like Nanocom.com.

    They just won't load, nothing, nada, zip. Not even an error warning, just a blank page.
    This has extended to buying products, I can get so far and then things just stall.
    It happened again just then trying to download an ARB pricelist. It just stalled, couldn't go any further.
    I've had to resort to using MS Edge.

    I've also used NoScript for god knows how long, and just allow scripting enough to get pages to load or do what I have to do.
    It makes a massive difference to the speed pages load as I'm on wireless, but even though I'm allowing everything when I need to I wonder if this app is causing an issue.
    Interestingly when I mentioned this on the Nanocom Group Buy thread, Rick mentioned his work computer running Chrome had done the same in the same time period, ie. it had loaded (and he'd bought) a Nanocom, but in the last two weeks was getting the same issue until he used his home 'puter with Safari. " I tried Chrome, Firefox and Opera on my laptop without success"

    Thoughts from those more computer savvy than moi ?

    Because it is rubbish..

    Firefox isn't headed to a good place

    Have a look at Vivaldi.. Opera done by the original Opera guys..

    Yet to try it on a PC but it goes okay on my Mac Pro..

    But haven't used it heavily as yet..
