I have many problems with Firefox when playing Miniclip 8 ball pool...

The issues are (1) if the yellow triangle over a gray padlock is showing, the game will not play correctly......I have tried using the "about"config" setting and changing the one setting as mentioned on Firefox elsewhere, and while that usually results in a green padlock, it does not always "fix" the game issue. (2) While the game is loading, I see at least 50 or more "websites " (??) that are showing in the lower left corner of the screen.........I don't know why all of these show and if there's anything that can be done to eliminate them; they cause a slow loading of the game........(3) The loading circle will often spin as if the game is trying to reload, but it does not reload...this happens many times while in game play. There are other problems as well, but if I can find solutions to these above then I can hopefully play the game. Thanks to all who have an answer.

(1) - click on that ! icon and see what it says. If you provide a screenshot of the message, we should be able to figure out why that ! appears. See this support article. How do I create a screenshot of my problem? It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.

Then use the Browse .... button below the Post a Reply text box to upload the screenshot.

(2) 50 or more URLs appearing in the statusbar does seem like a lot, but what the statusbar is showing is data that the webpage tells Firefox to load and where to load it from.

Since the advent of social networking my guess is that the average webpage will load data / information from 2 to 3 times as many websites as we would see (like) 10 years ago.

If you aren't using an ad blocker - use one! As far as "supporting websites" goes - they blew it by overloading "us" so many ads and loading all that "social networking" crap on each webpage, along with using that "social networking" information to follow us around the internet,

off my soap box now - rant mode turned off

Give uBlock Origin a test drive: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

(3) My guess is more ads trying to load or reload which are coming from an overloaded server. Another reason to block ads altogether.
