For at least the past week, I can't use Google maps or Live Search with Firefox (it just says "loading" and never moves on", but I can use both with Internet Explorer on the same computer. The only thing I can find in help forums is to block the extension "Adblock", but it's not on my computer.
Does anyone know what causes this problem? I much prefer Firefox, and I'd hate to go back to IE.

Try a new firefox profile
