We have Comcast and I feel like we reboot our router way more often than we did back in California when we had a small local cable/internet carrier.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Yes, I generally figure if I can't get to b.org, or it loads very slowly, then I'm REALLY having internet issues

Consuela, why don't you just archive or delete the things you've already read?

I had several day battle with Firefox, which was taking several tries to open every page. Scouring the internet gave me a fix that makes no sense but works.
I'm curious now what the solution was!

Adding the Adblock extension. It seems that quite a few people have had this problem after different Firefox upgrades, and someone somewhere serendipitously added Adblock. There were forums of messages like this: "At this point, I'll try anything." "Eureka! It worked!"

I have done, but... I'm a completist. I like having all my music on my iPod, and who knows whether I might need to look up something in the KJV at a moment's notice?
... Okay, yeah. It's just a thing. Also the new Kindles are a lot lighter and smaller.

I've only had the Nook two weeks, and I'm already thinking, "If I were trapped somewhere for days, I could read all the Oz books."

Exactly!
In fact, I got the whole run of Young Wizards on Black Friday, and read them all in the last two weeks. It was awesome.

That doesn't seem too weird. I can imagine poorly coded ads that radically slow down the loading of pages. I have a flash blocking extension for the same reason.

I can see how it would work, but it was taking me multiple tries even to open b.org. I'd already disabled DNS prefetching.
