Even now Twitter is just loading and loading and loading with the icon spinning, and in the status bar on this tab as I am writing this email, the page says it is Transferring data from... never finishes. Most of them I can get to load to a "done" state by manually stopping and/or reloading the page.

I didn't notice the problem as a real issue until just recently.  I now just leave Firefox running all the time now because it takes so much time and effort to get all my pages loaded.  The issue is very agrivating now.
