Du is OK for me most of the time but your post count remark reminded me that I have traced my Discus problem to the same thing. Lots of comments means very slow load as you describe. But it is only Discus.

Don't mean to hijack your thread but think it is relevant and can't find others having the Discus problem using Google. It only started about 6-8 weeks ago.

I don't know what Discus is, but it sounds like a common Firefox problem. -none Jun 2015 #2

Discus is the old Haloscan, a very common commenting system. gvstn Jun 2015 #3

I don't think the slowness has anything to do with FireFox or Windows... ChromeFoundry Jun 2015 #4
