the wonders/whats/whys of programs are, i believe, in many minds is
"!WTF! is happening now?".

i will give some credit to the firefox dev's in that they did foresee
need to know 'wtf' and some of access is via "Tools" in 'main menu' bar.

they did think to include, at one time, what is called "error console"
and "browser console".

"error console" is accessed by pressing <alt+t>,<alt+w>,<alt+c>. along
top of "error console" window are buttons for:

    [All] [Errors] [Warnings] [Messages] [Clear]

where the active button with be enclosed.

if not available for your version, which you did not mention, for
more info see;


http://kb.mozillazine.org/Special:Search?ns0=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns8=1&ns14=1&search=error+console&searchx=Search

and

  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Error_Console

  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console


"browser console" is accessed by pressing <alt+t>,<alt+w>,<alt+b>, or,
<ctrl+shift+j>. along top of "browser console" window are buttons for:

  [Net] [CSS] [JS] [Security] [Logging] [Clear]

where the active will be clear, inactive is grayed. each of the buttons
has a color which relates to color used in the log table.

again, availability depends on version. for information, see;

   https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Browser_Console


to see if you have some add-on causing loading, in 'main menu' bar, try;

   Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled...

if loading drops, you have an add-on causing problem and you find which
one by restarting firefox with 1/2 add-ons enabled. if ok, enable 1/2 of
remaining, restart, then repeating '1/2 enable' each time until add-on
is found.
