Nass' information is great advice. I had that problem once myself and
it happened with any browser I tried to use, meaining IMO it was a
system problem, not a browser or site issue.
In my case I finally got disgusted and took the quicker route of a
reinstall, but I'd appreciate it if you come back and give us your final
fix that works, whatever it is.
