Links inactive for some time when opening pages
Recently I faced a problem when all page links are inactive for some time (from 10 to 20 sec) when opening/updating some web pages. Page loads its contents, it can be scrolled, flash is working, but links can be used only after some delay. Examples are Twitch, http://www.bbccanada.com/, www.censor.net.ua, http://newsone.ua/ The same happens for my relative in another city. Tried reinstalling, resetting profile, disabling plugins, clearing cache... What can it be?
Kind regards, Alex

I checked both pages. I was able to open page links while the pages were still loading.
BTW; Update your Shockwave Flash v14. http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ The link for Flash Player is: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

and

This will log you out of all sites you're logged in to. Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;
Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences
Then Privacy. Under History, select Firefox will Use Custom Settings. There is a button on the right side called Show Cookies.
If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;
Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences
Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?. Then restart.
FredMcD, looks like you were correct. I installed both plug-ins (updating Flash player) and issue is gone now. Thanks a lot for your help. Weird though anyway )
Kind regards, Alex
After system restart the issue returned back... (
Check your plugins and make sure the one you removed is still gone.
