I have a new pc with Windows 8 and when I log or change pages the cursor spins for about 15 seconds before the page loads. Doesn't happen with any other site or when I had 7 . Is there an issue with 8 and FF ?? Thanx

Windows 8 causes no issues for me using Ford Forums on my HP 650 notebook.

No issues for me either with Windows 8. I don't like it either though.

Not sure what's worse, win8 or FF!
Try Chrome instead, much better browser.

Google Chrome is without a doubt the best browser. I stopped using IE around version 6, and firefox on version 8, they are both painful.

Had Win8 for all of 1 week and AFF worked fine, no issues with Either Explorer or Chrome. Then went back to old faithful 7.

Windows 8 is good...... if you're using a Tablet or Smartphone. But on a Laptop (like i have) or on a Desktop it's... well... CRAP!!
