    Browser that works on tesco.com/groceries ?

    This is something that has been annying me for a while and there was one build of firefox that worked great a while back, but since then, it wont work, and I had to go back to ie6, which was very...ummm, jerky and slow.

    The main problem is that when you get on a page that has a lot of items, scrolling is almost impossible and cpu usage rockets and everything moves in slow motion.

    So, I changed over to vista and iex7 doesnt like tesco.com at all.

    Any ideas why the tesco site is such a ballache, or does it work ok for everyone else?

    My 2 PCs are affected. Both clean installs, tried xp home, vista 32, firefox, ie6 and ie7.



    Any ideas?


    Tesco plugin for firefox?

    Do you do regular shopping there? The reason I ask is because the slowdown is worst in the favourites list when its quite long.

    I wonder if its anything to do with NTL/Virgin?

    Yep, asda do, and I have to go to tescos tomorrow anyway, but I was just wondering if it was a problem that other people were having. Its the only site that it happens on.

    Just tried firefox again now and as soon as I get to the faves list, the basket stays ok, the top frame stays ok, but the main large frame goes white and locks the rest of it up.
