Is there anybody using the latest version of Firefox?

I am having one heck of a time with my upgraded version of Firefox. It runs like molasses with my site and it keeps crashing. Anybody having similar problems?

Begging for Trouble

Submitted by JJ Ross on 31 March 2006 - 4:52pm.

UPDATE - no Macs here, makes a diff in this case?

We upgraded Firefox a couple of months ago on two machines, use it exclusively, no problems to speak of before or after upgrade - although we are just regular users, not programmers, and saying no problems so far is just begging for some, I guess, mutter, mutter. . .

Firefox

Yes! It is a fairly common problem. One way to kind of help it is to uninstall it, use a registery cleaner, and then reinstall it. That helped a lot though it did not solve the problem.

Firefox 1.5 is crap

I had to uninstall FF on my Mac because it was consantly freezing up for no apparant reason; gave me some of the first system crashes I ever had. I'm back to using 1.0 and hoping the next upgrade fixes the problems.

Could be wrong but I don't think you need a registry cleaner with a Mac, do you?

The Firefox folks are pretty cool about this sort of thing. If you have time, report the problem so they can fix it! Not that you dont' already have enough to do!

Words to live by

I believe we should focus our efforts first and foremost against those who attacked us on September 11 and who have thus far gotten away with it. the vast majority of those who sponsored, planned and implemented the cold-blooded murder of more than 3000 Americans are still at large, still neither located, nor apprehended, much less punished and neutralized. I do not believe that we should allow ourselves to be distracted from this urgent task simply because it is proving to be more diffucult and lengthy than was predicted. Great nations persevere and then prevail...

I believe that we are perfectly capanle of staying the course in the war against Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, while simultaneously taking the steps necessary to build an international coalition to join us in taking on Saddam Hussein in a timely fashion. If you're going after Jesse James, you ought to organize your posse first. Especially if you're already in the middle of a gunfight with somebody who's out after you.
