FireFox update - problems since FireFox's recent update seems to be a loser. I have been having problems with the browser freezing on a regular basis (like every few minutes) since this update. Is anyone else having this problem? I have actually gone back to using IE. __________________ Dynamite comes in small packages, Nitro comes in smaller ones, take your pick!

I just installed it on a clients computer for added security when they collect orders to process, and I witnessed the SAME thing. I thought it might be lack of ram in the machine.

I got the update and using it as I type this. I have not had any problems yet and if I did. I would jut back the update off. The one thing it did change that I don't like. It shows every darn url in my address window now. It never did that before the update. It would only give me one address for each site I visited. Gotta luv technology sometimes ......... __________________

How much ram are you running??? I have a gig. I just spent some time cleaning up some registry keys, clearing out temp files, etc, and it seems to be cooperating better now. Maybe I just had too much crap built up! We'll see how it behaves while I browse the forum and nibble on some brownies. __________________ Dynamite comes in small packages, Nitro comes in smaller ones, take your pick!

Let me know, because I dumped their stuff and set them up on a dump for every browser close. Still didn't help. I'm still going to add some ram to that machine, and see if it improves, but we might have to get a new machine period. Its pretty old. LOL __________________ Ignorance NEVER settles a question.

It seems like program updates do not take older machines into account. Since the dump of the junk, it does seem to be behaving a better. Still get an occasional glitch, but not like it was before. My machine is only a bit over a year old. __________________ Dynamite comes in small packages, Nitro comes in smaller ones, take your pick!
