There are a few websites that cause my Firefox to freak out. I’ll get flashing images, and if I click on the “go back one page” arrow, I find that the page has loaded multiple times. ESPN used to do this (I stopped using that site). [TVGuide.com](http://TVGuide.com) does this. Does anyone else have this problem and/or can anyone tell me what’s going on?
