Same thing happen to me a while ago. It turned out to be google advertising servers. When the page is downloading check in the lower left corner of the your browser and see if it's getting stuck on "google-analytics.com or "googleadservices.com"
Same thing, though. It only happened at forums like this and it only happened on my computer at home. IIRC, It also affected IE, so Firefox was not to blame.
If you have the same problem, the fix (work around) for me was downloading the add-on, NoScript. It keeps the ads to a minimum and the web pages load a bit quicker.
NoScript stops Java Script from running on your computer until you approve it. The good side to NoScript is it keeps a lot of websites from running crap on your computer. The downside is every website you visit you will have to approve it if it has something like a flash video on it or certain navigation menus.
Right now as I surf TB NoScript is blocking the two aforementioned google sites and something else called jbrslr.com. I have been on other sites where the list of blocked sites are six or more deep.
