Very slow loading of MSE Forums on iMac using Firefox

For the past few days loading the forums on my iMac using Firefox has become very slow. This seems to be after Apples latest security fix. All other browsers are fine - Safari, Opera, Chrome all work as before but for some unknown reason Firefox doesn't like MSE any more.

I've cleared FF history and cookies.

Firefox will load any other site as normal Facebook, BBC, Twitteretc . Is MSE running something that Firefox doesn't like?

Any thoughts appreciated

    Thanks for the links. The site is back to normal on FF. I didn't reset the router so as you suggest it must have been a routing issue with Virgin Media. Very strange that it only screws up FF!
