firefox question

[governmentmule]

I've finally started using it and when I'm on VolNation I'm not sure what you call it,but at the bottom left of the screen,where it says transferring data,it takes a really long time to load the following
pagead2.goodlesynd.caption
ReadsO.2mdn.net
addoubleclick.net

is this normal?I'm assuming it is just ads and such loading,but it is really slow and i don't notice it on IE

Mine does it too but it does not affect me navigating the page, or moving to a different page.
