Greetings All!
I wanted to follow up on the Health and Social Care Bill 2012, and was led to the link:
http://www.dh.gov.uk/health/2012/03/royalassent/
When I go to this using Mozilla Iceweasel, I get a brief glimpse of the relevant page, which opens:
Health and Social Care Bill gets Royal Assent 27 March 2012
Then the screen goes blank, and the browser hangs forever (i.e. still hung after 20 minutes) with "Read platform.stumbleupon.com" showing at the bottom. This is with Iceweasel 2.0.0.19 on Debian Etch and Iceweasel 3.0.6 on the later Debian Lenny.
However, when I tried the same link on Windows Internet Explorer there was no problem. The full page came up, and there was no mention of "stumbleupon". This is on Windows Vista (some years old).
I've not had this problem with other sites, including Government websites such as http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2012/7/contents/enacted (another link in the Health and Social Care Bill search), so I'm wondering how it came about and what to do about it!
Anyone else experiencing similar problems? An6y useful knowledge?
With thanks, Ted.

No problem here with FF 11.0 on xfce version of Linux Mint DE. Are you going directly to the dh.gov.uk page, or did you click another link (which may be a stumbleupon link) to get there?
