Unloadable items from certain servers stalling page loading and page saving
Occasionally I'll come across pages that stall when trying to load items from certain servers. Most frequently, it is servers at ytimg.com and another that I can recall is simplecdn.net. At the bottom of the Firefox window (where it displays page items that are currently loading) it will say Waiting for ytimg.com (or something similar) and the page will just sit there for hours not fully loading because of that one item. If I try to save the page to my hard drive (use the Web Page, complete option), the saving process will stall because of those items just as the page loading did. The primary difference being that the page saving eventually times out and an error prompt appears. My question is this: When I encounter these unloadable/unsavable page items, how can I instruct Firefox to just skip them and move on with loading/saving the rest of the page items?

Are you using ad blocking software or extension? If so, try removing filters for ytimg.com from the subscription or database.
The problem has existed for years now. I've experienced it with several different computers, many different Firefox versions and many different software (and extension) environments/configurations. I've gone through a lot of trouble throughout the years to make sure the problem isn't being caused by something usual on my end. I'm just now getting around to posting about it. At present, I'm using Windows XP Pro in a very lean state. No services running that aren't needed and no other programs running except for Comodo Firewall. Just before posting here, I ruled out Comodo Firewall by uninstalling it while testing. I also re-installed Firefox and ran it with no extensions in order to rule out the possibility of a problematic extension. I should mention that I posted this a couple of days ago because I was experiencing the stalling problem while trying to load & save a particular web page. The following day there was no problem with loading or saving that same web page. It seems the ytimg.com server was perhaps down one day and then back up the next. Keep in mind that the problem isn't so much that this stalling occurs but rather that I can find no option in Firefox that will allow me to skip the loading/saving of the particular items that are causing the stalling. (Attached image is a snapshot of my typical running processes while Comodo Firewall is installed and running).
