    I do get tired of firefox but its the best browser when it's working right I find

    my problem is when I start firefox it freezes right away and takes 30-50secs for it to unfreeze

    this may happen a couple of times within an hour of browsing

    iv the latest update and before I updated it, it was working perfectly :(

    so what's up

    Disable any plugins\toolbars you might have running.

    Use THIS to backup all your Firefox settings & then do a clean install. Use the same program to restore your backed up settings.

    I'm also having a little annoying issue. The Java thingy on my firefox updates pretty much every day! And I have to install/update it then restart firefox and all that. Tried google but it doesn't seem to be a common problem at all :confused:

    I had that problem recently on a laptop running XP. It sorted itself out when I uninstalled some old Java updates in Add/Remove Programs.

    I am having the same problems also. Sometimes when I am browsing everything starts to go really slow so I then have to log out of everything and restart Firefox which I find really irritating and it has only started happening recently too. I too love Firefox and find it the best browser!

    Open task manager and see how much memory Firefox is using....

    I tried a plugin (firefox memory optimizer iirc) that takes care of the memory usage quite ok. Trouble was only that that plug in accessed the memory and made my firewall go "loco".

    removed some old java updates and it seems to have done the trick, nothing since as far as I can see :) Thanks!
