Newegg not working only in Firefox

Has anyone else seen this? Over the past 4 days Newegg has given the constant message on going to links and even on the main site itself: "We are truly sorry for any inconvenience but we are currently experiencing problems on our server" This, I discovered, only happens in the Firefox Browser. My current version of FF is 22, the latest. No other sites are affected in FF, just Newegg. Newegg customer service people haven't a clue and tell me no one else has reported this. A few years back, Microsoft was trying to block off Netscape by attempting to persuade website developers to build for IE and not Netscape. I don't know if this is what's happening or if Newegg itself changed something to make FF cough up this hairball. I'd appreciate some discussion and feedback on this topic.

I discovered the source of the problem. It was my newegg cookies. I tried accessing the site in a private browsing window using Firefox and everything worked fine. Went into a custom history setup for privacy options in FF and found all the cookies referencing newegg. I then deleted all of them but for the login and reset cookies and now the site comes up fine in a normal firefox window. It is possible that some of those cookies may have crumbled and been corrupted.
i have been having issues --also in firefox 22

didnt happen before i updated to version 22

web pages keep freezing up

so may be a firefox problem

edit--updating my flash player seems to have helped so far

I am using Shockwave Flashplayer 11.7.700.224. I don't see any indicator it needed updating. Newegg was working fine up until Saturday. Yet it did have the same issue the weekend before. If the Flash Player needed updating I can't figure why other websites that use it aren't a problem.

it could be a newegg problem--nice to see they have a rep on here

latest flash version is

11.8.800.94

which so far seems to have stopped my web pages freezing now and then in firefox 22
