  I am trying to connect to sites on WordPress dealing with climate change. When I search on that term, the beginning of a list comes up but then within a few moments I get the ‘Aw snap – unresponsive’ pane. This has been the case for several days. Is there a solution?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I get page after page of results.

  My details are: Windows NT 10.0
  Firefox 51.0

  Fine – all good now thanks. I searched “climate change” in the Reader search pane and, as I said, repeatedly got some results followed by a page freeze. I wondered whether, because it can be a contentious area, there might be some deliberate tech interference. I’ll use “climate-change” in future.

  Hi @joedt, it sounds to me like your offline database may be corrupt. You’d be welcome to try clearing it:

  You should be able to look up any term without a freeze. I hope that helps.
