I have noticed that when I open a session on Firefox (3.6.12), the first Tab (Defaults to Homepage: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/) the page loads then indicates (spinning circle) that it is still downloading. I thought that there was a moving image being refreshed but decided that that was not the reason and suspected the site itself. To test this I opened another Tab and started up my Homepage. This was fine and stabilized immediately. 

         The original Tab was still sitting there spinning away to itself quite happily. Decided to change that URL to see the result and it updated fine, only I discovered that the 'displayed' URL is the original http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ and the 'New' page was as required, oh, and you guessed it, the hypnotic spinning continued!!! HELP!! Oops, almost forgot. I cannot kill the Tab with the X !

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Thanks cor-el, I have not played under the hood at all before and so you gave me a great little intro .... Sadly it did not help! Other than prove it had nowt to do with my plug-ins!! The darn thing snapped in without any hassle in Safe-Mode!! Drat! Tried again in Normal Mode and it seamlessly returned to dizzy mode in this one Tab! Persistent little .. tab!!Thanks anyway! I shall have to prod it with summat alse!! Cheers Ian

Hi again, I have just re-read the Basic Troubleshooter reference and I have missed the entire point and lost the plot here!! Doh! It says that if the Fault disappears in Safe it IS the Plugins!! Sorry cor-el, I shall beat myself with a stick and look at it properly this time!! Ian
