There appears to be a slight compatibility issue in Firefox affecting the loading of web pages. If you are having this problem, follow the steps below fo a fix.

In the address bar of Firefox, key in about:config >> Search for network.http.request.max-start-delay. Right click the line and select Modify and set the value to 0.

Credits to DragonMaster Jay for the fix.

One more setting, which seems to be a slight issue:

In the address bar of Firefox, key in about:config >> Search for privacy.cpd.sessions. Right click the line and select Toggle.

Make sure the value says False.

Spoiler:

Note : I've cut off the other open tabs for privacy. If they are the cause, I will type those things out.
My mom was listening to some classical songs from that Raaga Jukebok..

I also experience this sometimes, the page takes very very very long to load, sometimes, it just doesn't load. But it's much better after the fix

From what I can tell, there are four caching events that go on once you access the site - the first time per session. Then, subsequent times afterward accessing the site will cause the pages to load slow. This is a website compatibility issue.

Solution #1: Try the above methods (posts 1 and 2).
If that fails, go to 2.

Solution #2: Run Firefox in Safe Mode. Usually Start Menu > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox > Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). Then, try to access the site. If you can access the site, go to step 3. If you cannot access the site, go to step 4.

Solution #3: Disable different add-ons, and restart Firefox, and attempt to connect to GeekPolice. The problem add-on will be noticeable. When you find the problem add-on, disable it. If you cannot find the problem add-on, go to step 4.

Solution #4: Change Privacy Settings like so:

If this does not help, go to step 5.

Solution #5: Disable the following add-ons if they exist. Tools > Add-ons.
-FasterFox
-DownloadHelper
-Fastest Fox
-NoScript (unless you allow all scripts on GeekPolice)
-Cooliris
-FlashGot

These add-ons seem to have a weird effect on web forums (not just this one, but several others). Especially DownloadHelper and FlashGot.

If this does not help, go to step 6.

Solution #6: Delete your current user profile, and then create a new one for Firefox: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles

Solution #7: Reinstall Firefox. Go to Add or Remove programs (Or Programs in Vista/7) located in the Control Panel. Uninstall Firefox, BUT keep settings. Then, download and install a fresh version from http://www.getfirefox.com

I hope this has helped.
