  This problem has been occurring for months.  On my Windows XP system, there are times when Firefox will not load www.bloomberg.com.  There, I can switch to Internet Explorer, which always loads the page.  
  Endeavoring to move from Windows to Ubuntu, but now I have the same issue on Ubuntu.
  I suspect the issue has to do with an introductory Advertisement that is on bloomberg some times - usually a video.
  For me, access to bloomberg is essential.

  ProblemType: Bug
  Architecture: i386
  DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04
  Package: firefox-3.0 3.0.10+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1
  ProcEnviron:
   PATH=(custom, no user)

+ WORKAROUND:
+ <Thanks to Zyan (Upstream)>
+ The only way to resolve it is to clear the cache, e.g. via Tools -> Options...
+ -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage -> Clear Now, which immediately fixes
+ the problem.  As soon as the cache is cleared, visiting www.bloomberg.com works
+ perfectly again, so there must be something in relation to cached data causing
+ the problems.
