Default Firefox Problem. I have a Vista OP and latest version of firefox

and I finally have most of the font at the right size and am enjoying firefox,however, there is a problem that may cause me to go back to IE which I dont want to do. The problem is very often I will try to go on a web site and I see that little wheel in the right hand corner going around and around and the page wont load. I either have to close & begin over or I get a box that says it has timed out or once in a while if i walk away when I come back a couple minutes later it will open the page. Obviuosly no one can work on line this way with out a great deal of frustartion and lots of down time. IE was slow a lot but not the way Fire fox is.The funny part is when I first installed firefox it was so quick and even now on times it does load it is really fast much faster than IE.Any ideas?

Also,with IE I was able to clean the history and cookies I could not find this on firefox,where is it?
Thanks

Well I don't know what to tell you about firefox, except to not use it. Use opera. Opera is a speed demon, if you tweak the settings right. When you install opera go to tools, preferences, advanced, network, and change your network settings "max connections to a server" and "max total connections" to 128. As for clearing the history on firefox, go to tools, and click on clear private data. Also, check your internet connections.
