Firefox/Comcast homepage problem

I posted this in the computer thinger, but I think there's more traffic here...
I am trying to get the Comcast homepage, http://www.comcast.net/home.html to load in my FireFox browser. The little load indicator goes quickly to about 80% then drops to a flashing 50% loaded on the lower left corner, on the right corner it says "Waiting for/Connecting to Comcast" (intermittent flashing). When I stop the load, the tab says "Welcome to Comcast High-Speed Internet!" White page. Welcome to nothing, I guess.

It opens on AOHell, and Avant, and I'm sure it would work on IE, but I won't go there.

I cleared history, and my cache, the cookies on FireFox are identical to my other browsers (I cleared and re-imported them). I went to the pop up blocker and allowed comcast. I turned OFF the popup blocker. I restarted my computer. I have Macromedia Flashplayer 7 on Firefox. I had the preview 1.0, and just updated to the new 1.0 release.

I have been able to get Comcast on this browser in the past.

Any Ideas? :shrug: They certainly have none @ Comcast. :(

4. That's exactly what I have

So an uninstall-reinstall? I didn't do an uninstall of the preview, I just took the update.
