Firefox Users
I was wondering if those of you with Firefox has been experiencing the same issues as I have. Basically the browser would crash and just freeze out of nowhere. I know it's not my computer because I've been using Chrome for a little while and it's been running fine.
All of the Firefox add ons and the Firefox it self are up to date. Is this a bug that came with the new Firefox? I noticed it recently updated it self before I started experiencing the problem.
Anyone know why it's been effed up lately?

that's weird. i used to use chrome until i discovered that it's adblocks suck and FF adblock is the greatest thing in the world. i haven't had any problems on my desktop but on my laptop i've had this problem a few times but it hasn't happened in a while. and yes my FF was updated a few days ago. try doing a reinstall

Yeah, FF has an amazing pop-up blocker. I never got any virus/spyware eversince I started using FF.
Chrome has been better in the past year tho. I remember there were some bugs when it first came out as it wouldn't allow scrolling up and down using the scroller/side pad.
I tried re-installing the FF just now. So far so good. We'll see if it will freeze on me anytime soon. Thanks for the tip!

I've had some issues. It won't freeze up, it will just leave me on a page, unable to do anything haha. It says that firefox is responding and running, fine, but I cannot click on anything/go anywhere/do anything until I restart my computer.
A new update came out last week that fixed it for me, though.
Good luck!

Try disabling your add-ons, one at a time, and see if one of them is causing you problems.

The problem seems to be fixed after I reinstalled FF.
I thought it was one of the plug-ins (Java or Flash) so I tried to disable those and didn't help. Hopefully the problem is fixed by the simple reinstall.
Thanks for the help all!
