    Some websites like interfacelift.com and redmondpie.com don't finish loading. All the content will show but the green activity indicator will keep spinning. I've narrowed it down to adblock-plus. It seems if I disable it, then everything is fine, or if I just remove the filter subscriptions. I've tried deleting adblock and adding it again, but that didn't help. Anyone have any idea how to fix this issue? Thanks.

    I have no problem loading both websites. I have Adblock Plus installed.
    I would try to install Firefox with a complete virgin profile and then install all addons.

    Ya I've tried that...
    When I run it through a tunnel like HotspotShield...I don't get that issue. At one point I uninstalled my network adapter and reinstalled and everything was fine... until yesterday. I tried to do it all over again but it didn't help..

    I get the websites without Hotspotshield. Why did you uninstall/reinstall the network adapter?

    Check with your ISP and review the firewall setting maybe?

    cheers ...
