Firefox 7.0.1

citizen

Greetings all,

I have recently formatted and installed Win7 x64.  I have found that while using Sophos Enpoint Security 9.7 (along with Sohpos firewall), that certain sites on Firefox 7.0.1 cause the entire browser (ie. all open tabs) to "freeze" and not load.  I can open a new tab but it will not let me load any pages - this means that I have to keep restarting the browser.  It seems to be certain sites in particluar that cause this problem - one such example is a link on my ISP homepage.

This problem does not occur on Internet Explorer 8.  I tried uninstalling Sophos and Firefox then ran as per normal. 

Can anyone provide an insight into what might be causing this? 

I did search the Sophos forums but found only other Firefox related problems.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

    This problem has been driving me insane recently - I never thought it would be Sophos.  I've tried a number of things including disabling every add-on and resetting my profile, but could never pin down the cause of the problem.  Annoyingly, I started noticing this issue at around the same time Firefox 7.0 was released, so just assumed it was a dodgy update.


    Ah well, thanks for posting your message anyway.  I'll give you kudos simply due to the amount of hair I've avoided pulling out over this one!  Oddly enough, I've not heard any of our users mention this issue...
