Wondering if anyone knows what could be wrong with my firefox, or if these are common bugs? I've always had these and even the the new Firefox 2 hasn't solved anything, all bugs still there!

One annoying bug is when I click on a link, the page will just go white and it says DONE in the bottom corner. I have to click back and then click the link a second time to get the page to load. Happens 1 in 10 times but can be very frustrating if it's a secured page and the BACK button is disabled as this means I'll have to redo everything, drives me mad!

Another is with a particular web page. I get 403 Forbidden error with an additional 404 not found error. I thought for months that the website was down but found out other users can use the site fine. So I try to load it in Internet Explorer and it works perfectly!
This is the site http://www.exrx.net/ some exercises will load and then later on I get the error, it's very sporadic but the longer I stay one the site the worse it gets until eventually no pages will load.

Another bug is on forums like this one. When I click submit to post a message sometimes it just takes forever and the progress bar stops. I have to open up another window and click on the link to see my reply.

There are other annoying little bugs and I really don't want to go back to IE as I'm so comfortable with FF but I can't live with these problems anymore.

Any idea's?

I'm using Windows XP with all latest patches etc with NTL 8mb broadband.
 
Have you tried to completeley re install firefox. Uninstall it, reboot and install it again.

If you are still havinf trouble it might be worth uninstalling and seeing if firefox is leaving anything in the registry. Clear it out and re install again.
