I have a really bizarre bug, whenever I open the forums in Firefox the little loading icon on the tab (the green spinning thing) doesn't go away. The site loads properly and I haven't found anything else that doesn't work, it just never stops loading.

It isn't really a problem, but I was curious if anyone else had this and what causes it. It happens only on giantitp.com and only in Firefox (also tested in Chrome and IE).

What OS and what version of Firefox? I use FF at home and haven't experienced this issue...

Does it happen on all pages, or just some? It might be some hotlinked image that's failing to load, rather than something from this site.

And have you tried clearing your cache?

Windows 7, firefox 24.0 with a number of plug ins:

Flagfox
Ghostery
Adblock plus (disabled on GitP)
Greasemonkey (no scripts running)
Firegestures
IE tab 2

I tried disabling ghostery (as one of ghostery or adblock is usually the culprit when something goes wrong) but that didn't change anything.

Edit:

It happened on all pages, but clearing my cache seems to have solved it, thanks!

It is amazing how many of the problems in B&S issues get resolved with a cache clearance. It borders on depressing really.
