I'm not sure if this could be a problem, but FireFox screens pages for pop-ups, active-x controls, etc. while loading the page. If you're on a dial-up connection, it may be a much longer wait. I have the same issue with FireFox, and I have cable, so it's only a minor inconvenience. I do, however, think it could be a database issue within Renderosity as well, as I have experienced this same problem on other sites that use the same types of databases.
