When a page of a website opens, it displays a black screen and then loads that page in Firefox 3.6.11. But the same does not happen in IE. I don't want that black screen to appear on my page.So please provide me with a solution as soon as possible.

And my page layout also gets distorted when viewed my firefox but not in IE. Please do the needful.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration.

Thanks for your reply. I tried the same way but there is no option "Use hardware acceleration when available". Is there any other way out from my code or other Firefox settings as the page loads instantly on IE but on Firefox initially a black screen comes and then the whole page gets loaded. This page is built using java applet. Thanks in advance.
