Just a blank page, loading forever, "transferring data from tinypic" forever. When I hit the back button I go back to the page I intended to go to in the first place. It's like as if there's something redirecting me. But it doesn't happen all the time. Anyone have any idea? --------------------

Yeah, I think this has happened to me too lately. I didn't examine it too closely at the time, though; I assumed it was some minor server issue that would go away in a day or so. I should have checked more.

just recently.

could it be phishing?

If you take a look at my screen capture, it's like it adds this cluster of characters at the beginning of the url, but that url doesn't show up in the address bar. Just the back button list.

After typing in "wyciwyg:" in my address bar, I got a whole bunch of gmail and google pages that apparently I've visited before.

"WYCIWYG is an acronym that stands for What You Cache Is What You Get, or more commonly displayed in the address bar of Gecko-based Web browsers like Mozilla Firefox as wyciwyg:// when the Web browser is retrieving cached information."

if that's what you mean

Just found that and posted it in the wrong thread.

Is this just something to do with the new Firefox?
