Firefox won't load any online flyer pages, while IE can load them fine. What is causing this?

I noticed after an update a few months ago (sorry, can honestly not remember which update may have caused this), all of the online flyer webpages wouldn't load. They'll show up as a blank page or everything on the site will load minus the actual flyer. This happens if I try to view the HTML flyer or Flash version... Here's a list of the ones I like to check out online, and I have to open up IE now to load them (very annoying!): FutureShop.ca BestBuy.ca Independent Grocer Most of these ask a postal code, here's one in Ottawa Ontario (K1R 6B2) for those who want to try loading the pages.

Thanks for the help, I found the culprit that was causing the pages to not load. It was the extension "Adblock Plus". After disabling this only, I can load everything as normal. Thanks again cor-el!

You're welcome

If ABP is blocking sites then you can ask advise at the ABP forum.

It seems that everysolution want to begin with "start Firefox in safe mode" and then check your addons/plugins one at a time. This is extremely time consuming and irritating. I'm almost at the point of looking for other browsers.
