What URL is it?

ankspon

It happens on different pages,it can happen anytime and not on any particular url

ankspon

I don't get you,i can be looking at different pages on the internet,then when i click on something else i want to look at the message pops up and the next page will not load.

Are you using FireFox? If so a very quick google search throws up umpteen hits and suggestions for fixing this - mostly involving duff extensions and themes.

Yes it's firefox,and i've seen these fixes and tried them,no luck

Last time I saw this, clearing the cookies fixed it. YMMV

ankspon

Done that as well,thanks

I get the same problem. Tried a few of the solutions offered on various forums. Seems to relate to a good number of add ons and plug ins. Only work around I have is to close Firefox and switch the router power off. Wait a minute or so. Then start everything up again. Very inconvenient.

I use FF and don't see this. I think if I got it regularly I'd look at using an alternative browser.
