Title: Firefox problem
Post by: ipt8 on February 16, 2010, 20:32:37
I have I think Firefox version 3.6. Frequently it seizes when I am trying to open a link on a web page. Have to restart the PC to sort it. Any ideas how to cure it?

It is several different ones at different times. It just happened again just now when I tried to open the gallery on this site. After restarting the PC it worked straight off.

Thanks flighty,
I reckon I should have searched out that article. I have now bookmarked it. 8)

I seem to have numerous possible issues on my computer. I have emptied the download folder that my system mechanic is obviously not doing, and I have a free firewall (as recomended on an OU course I did ) that has a known conflict with Vista which is the system I am using. So I may change that. There are also several other issues on my system that could apparently cause it. :-\

I think it would be quicker to go to IE which is installed and see if that is any better. I do hate using Microsoft products but I seem to end up going back to them. I dont want to spend my time jiggering about with settings on the computer I have more interesting things to do ::) ::) ::).

You could try Opera  ??? ??? ???

I have it installed (as with IE and FF, but only use FF regularly) as I use it for testing sites that I look after.
