Sounds like a setting on your browser or computer needs adjusting. Are you running a firewall? I know my firewall will block manuevers in certain sites unless I tell it otherwise.

When was the last time you cleared your History, cache & cookies? Sounds like you have a lot built up and your computer is having a hard time sorting & finding things at this point. Also, when was the last time you ran a defrag & scandisk (if using a pc) (DiskUtility if using a Mac). If you have your settings right, if you re-boot your computer, your history file will be cleared but you have to manually set it for that to happen. I clear history, cache & cookies once a week & run DiskUtility twice a week. For PCs, scandisk repairs all files that are misplaced or needs tweaking, Defrag takes all the little pieces of a program/file that are moved around when using the file and puts them back where they belong. All this helps your system run smoother & faster.
