Firefox 7.0.1

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.

  • Hello Robert_SI,

    do you have an example of a publicly accessible site where it fails with these settings? Which filters do you use for Adblock? I'm asking 'cause I do not have issues (XP SP3 and Win7 64bit, Firefox 7.0.1 with default max-connections, Adblock)
