If you've recently updated your drivers for your graphics card like I have, Mozilla Firefox might have problems rendering pages even with a fast, working Internet connection. Obviously, if Internet Explorer 8 or 9 or Google Chrome can pull up a page, then it must have been that driver update.
Switch off Hardware Acceleration by clicking the Firefox control button and clicking Options. Under the Advanced tab, clear the Use hardware acceleration when available box. Restart Firefox and refresh the page. The page will come up fine.
Curiously enough, I encountered this same issue when Internet Explorer 8 was first released. Switching off hardware acceleration resolved the issue in the same way. Thankfully, IE 9 had no such problems even after the Nvidia Optimus graphics driver update. The issue is more likely related to Nvidia Optimus' dual graphics card more than anything else.
