Experiencing any problems with FireFox?

Been having problems with FireFox lately. It’s been freezing and it’s very erratic. Not sure why but it just does that when ever I load pages. Then it just stops responding. I usually had to end the application and process in task manager before I can fire it up again.

I checked for updates and there was none.

When that happens, I often switch to my second browser of choice — Flock. If only Flock had the same extension features like FireFox, I might be using it more often.

Good thing I have the session saver extension installed in FireFox so I am able to restore the pages/sites I left off when I closed Firefox. Maybe I need to re-install this baby.

    Exactly - I began having the same problems with Firefox beginning on 11 May 2008. However, it’s a great browser and I trust there will be a fix made available shortly. Until then - I’m using my mac’s safari (which I’m starting to like more and more because of the Firefox problem!).

    Hi.

    I’m using firefox, but have a problem.

    Even though I shut the computer down properly last night, when I turned it on this morning and tried to access the internet with firefox, it offers me two choices “restore previous page” or “start new session”. I know this is a useful tool at times, but in this case, regardless of which one I choose, it opens to a frozen page, one which is blank, with just the mozilla logo at the top, the other of which has three tabs open, also frozen.

    Any advice? I don’t want to delete firefox and reinstall because I don’t want to lose my bookmarked sites and saved sites, but I don’t know if I have another option.

    Another problem with Firefox lately. Consider my case: The Dealio toolbar installed itself in my FF. When I uninstall it, there’s this message window (Search Settings Notification) which always pops up everytime I refresh or go to a webpage. I can’t do anything with it and it’s already a nuisance. I’m begging for help. Else, I’ll use my Opera browser instead.

    I had the freezing issue as well, but it only happened when I did a search on Google. The results would show and then freeze for about 5 seconds, then carry on. I went to Netscape Navigator and it was fine till I added all my plug-ins. I figured it had to be a plug-in that was Google related. After disabling all my plug-ins and adding them back one at a time, it did indeed turn out to be McAfee Site Advisor. I took it out and turned all my usual plug-ins back on and problem solved.

    I also saw all the articles regarding Google Toolbar but that was not the issue for me as I uninstalled it and the problem persisted.

    Hope this helps some, and I am relieved. This was driving me crazy.
