Hi

I'm using an iMac.
All of a sudden when I'm on Facebook the mouse pointer shows a spinning wheel constantly. It doesn't happen on other web sites.
Does anyone know why or how to fix it?

    It may be that the browser is crashing. Does your browser freeze up? Facebook has a lot of stuff happening in the background when you visit it.

    I haven't noticed it freezing. It just seems weird that it's only recently started happening.

    Employ the "Two Solutions":

    - Try turning it off and back on again
    - Wait and see if it goes away by itself (it could just be an issue with Facebook itself) I'm not a facebook user so couldn't comment on this.

    Its happening to many FB users in my friends list and to mine. So we are guessing its a FB issue x

    Yeah, I'm seeing it using Firefox on Windoze,
    so it must be down to FB.
