This happens on every single site the Firefox Browser connects to via ATT DSL. Basic Information from the site is initially displayed, then I believe various Advertising Servers are accessed to display Ads on the screen, because the screen will flicker and redisplay some new information on it. If for example, I am entering info such as a comment to a story, I get interrupted again and again, and cannot enter the rest of my comment, until all Ads have been accessed and put on the display. Am I correct in believing the slowness of DSL is my Major Problem here ? Don't recommend I refresh Firefox because I have done that on a regular basis with no improvement.
