Googlesyndication causing problem in FF?

[jms_uk]

Hello, I have searched, but couldn't find anything related to this.
I am using FF 3 on a Mac, and this started to happen recently:

tabs look like there is something still loading - like what you get on a page with a lot of posts with images.

but this happens on pages without any images too. looking at the status bar, I've notices this:

Any idea what is causing this, and if it is causing some extra traffic for the POTN servers?

Interestingly enough, when I use Safari [4] , this doesn't happen...

Anyway, just wanted to let you know, if you think it's not relevant, please delete this.

I use Firefox and I don't see that but I have made a donation to POTN and don't see any of the Google advertisements.

Maybe someone else who does currently see the google ads can comment.

hmm.

Not sure what happened in the meantime, but it stopped now. Maybe it was a special Easter feature :D ?
