another example with CNN...NoScript, AdblockPlus and customizegoogle disabled...

I get that very occasionally and I don't believe it is a 3.5.7 version issue as it happened before that. I find that if it happens, the Refresh button reloads the page without problem. Sometimes I believe that is caused by a dropped connection.

Wladimir thinks the problem is caused by the filters in the Malware Domains list, so it should only affect ABP users that are using that list.  He's worked around that problem in the latest development build.

thanks for the info guys, don't know if FF is gonna run better after that, anyway I'm gonna try the latest dev build of ABP...I got issues in Chrome too, could be related as I'm using AdThwart there that uses the same filters as adblock+...which makes me think, if the filters or one filter is responsible, how could a new XPI of the extension change anything...or it's the filter management may be...

From the changelog

Fixed: parsing of regular expressions with separator placeholder (^) is very slow

One problem is, my reading is faster than my fingers.   The second problem is, sometimes I don't totally understand either one.
