[solved]is it just me? firefox freezes

Post by bad_brain »

since the last update to 2.0.0.7 Firefox freezes much more often than before, and this happens regularly on the same sites...anyone the same experience? :-k

an example:

Code: Select all

http://newzfind.com
on this site Firefox freezes on the first time I load it, after killing the process the site loads fine on the 2nd attempt.

Sorry to say b_b but you might have some conflict somewhere. I have checked the site you posted and firefox loads it without any glitches on my windows pc. I would uninstall firefox, use a reg cleaner and reinstall it incase it is a bad setup file. :wink:

BB your not alone the, same thing happens to me, when I go to chartrooms, example IRC chat room, when that happens I usually, end the firefox process, then reopen firefox, may be we should reinstall firefox like alen said but now for me it does not happen much. :wink:

ok, reinstalled it and it seems to work fine now....I took the opportunity to install the alpha version of FF3 too, seems to be a lot faster than FF2... :-k

if anyone is interested it can be downloaded here:
http://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/in ... -download/
because no plugins seem to be supported yet it's better to use it as 2nd browser imo... :wink:
