I use Firefox, especially after IE trashed a computer of mine through poor security, but I'm having a lot of problems with FF freezing and crashing at the moment.


AlwayzKrunk (22)  8 months ago

what version do you have of ff?

make sure you update it


myLot reputation of 82/100. egdcltd (553)   ranked 9 out of 60 in firefox  8 months ago

Currently 2.0.0.12. It's mostly on certain sites that it happens. My Yahoo is one of them.


AlwayzKrunk (22)  8 months ago

you can get firefox 3 beta if you want but i rather wait till the full version comes out.. like with nothing wrong with it


myLot reputation of 82/100. egdcltd (553)   ranked 9 out of 60 in firefox  8 months ago

I'm defintely going to wait before getting FF3 (but if I wait for it to have nothing wrong with it, I'll never install it)


AlwayzKrunk (22)  8 months ago

haha alright


myLot reputation of 66/100. bradhart (551)   ranked 55 out of 60 in firefox  7 months ago

there are plenty of things wrong with FF 3, it doesn't recognize many of the popular extensions, especially those used for power blogging. I would also suggest if FF 2.x is freezing on some sites, it is a problem with the sites rather than FF.


myLot reputation of 94/100. santuccie (1801)  7 months ago

Bradhart is not wrong. It tends to be at specific sites that Firefox hangs on a pageload, myLot being one. Nevertheless, I should mention that it does take Firefox a lot longer to pull through a delayed pageload than IE or Opera. With FF, you may have to click refresh 3 or 4 times, or wait a full minute for the page to load.

The other browsers don't seem to have this problem, although FF is still faster than IE unimpeded. With Opera, it's a different story. Opera is probably the fastest of all browsers, as well as the most inherently secure. But of course Opera doesn't support much of anything, not even ActiveX controls.

To egdcltd, there could be any number of reasons why Firefox is crashing on your system. Have you updated it to the latest stable release? If you're already running the latest version, you might want to scan your system for infection. A lot of people still think Firefox is virtually impregnable, but the truth is quite the reverse. IE has been the biggest target for a long time, but Firefox's growing popularity is starting to bring into the light a plethora of vulnerabilities of its own.


myLot reputation of 94/100. santuccie (1801)  7 months ago

I missed something. I noticed that you'd already mentioned what version of FF you're using. I also noticed that your response is 3 weeks old, but in case you didn't know already, version 2.0.0.13 is out now. Don't touch the version 3 beta, whatever you do. It's buggier than still water.


myLot reputation of 82/100. egdcltd (553)   ranked 9 out of 60 in firefox  7 months ago

I've got automatic updates on FF turned on, so I'm up to the latest version. I think it is more likely a problem with the sites than my computer (no viruses detected in the last few checks, although I'm considering switching from Norton to Kaspersky) as it's always in the same places that the browser crashes. MyYahoo is the worst.

I'm using firefox. I started using it because of the tabbed browsing, as I didn't want to have so many IE windows cluttered on my taskbar. Although now IE7 has tabbed browsing, but I'm still sticking to firefox:)


AlwayzKrunk (22)  8 months ago

damn i ment to put that comment down here..

the one above us= )

well firefox is the best

I have been using firefox after switching over from IE for almost 3 years now. Its so much better and has alot more features then IE. Opera is another very good browser that is worth giving a try. Anyone still using IE should really give firefox a try.


AlwayzKrunk (22)  8 months ago

yeah.. they shouldnt try it they should use it= )
