Do your LJ pages seem to keep loading forever?

[andrewducker]

For a couple of weeks now my LJ pages kept being stuck in "Loading" mode - with the little animated circle in the header that made it clear they were still trying to download more of the page.

Due to a discussion in james_nicoll's journal I discovered this was linked to Adblock Plus and a glitch on LJ's backend. Being a paid user I don't get ads anyway, so I turned off ABP for livejournal.com, and now everything's working properly!

Much happier, this has been annoying me for weeks...

I'm curious as to if the ABP bug is why Firefox 29 Beta was so slow for me on DW? (I've since uninstalled it, but being a really sloppy upgrade, it totally mated with Firefox 28 so I actually had to go into regedit, then use Everything by Void Tools and CCleaner to wipe it out and start over with a fresh copy of 28 to get my speeds up on DW again). I can safely disable ABP here, and I don't use LJ, so no biggie on that (but I'd like to know if the LJ/ABP bug will be an DW/ABP bug, too, because eventually I will want to upgrade to the official 29).
