Hi,
This topic must be located here somewhere as it's such a common problem but I don't see it. Since installing Windows 8.1 (and I can't go back to 8 for various reasons) web pages quite frequently simply hang as they try to connect. I have to wait, at times, for as long as 30 seconds before it loads. Sometimes it even times out. I've noticed many comments re this problem online, with a myriad of possible solutions-too many to investigate/try. When I use Opera, which is going through changes that irritate me hence I'm not going to be using them any longer, the pages load quickly. But certainly not with Firefox-my customary browser.
The reason that I'm posting this is that one action invariably corrects the problem and loading is immediate. But it's a drag and am hopeful that someone armed with forthcoming info will have some idea as to how to remedy the situation. Sorry, I tend to ramble at times. All I have to do, while the page is trying to connect, is to hit reload. Every time it works! But it's not right to have to do that plus I'm lazy. Does that tell someone anything? Any thoughts? Thanks!
