Bubba Bob Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 For the past week or so Firefox has been freezing up on Weather.com, and every now and then Ebay. I mean, ctrl+alt+del frozen. The sites work fine in IE though...ANyone else have this problem? Im curious if its a problem with the two sites and Firefox, or if its a problem with MY firefox and the two sites.

robroy Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 not having any problems here either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxkbxx Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 That's why I use IE - I've never had a site that IE didn't work on.Did you update recently? Possibly something you downloaded for FF is the culprit.Worst case, try the ol' uninstall & reinstall on it - it never hurts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tictoc5150 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 For the past week or so Firefox has been freezing up on Weather.com, and every now and then Ebay. I mean, ctrl+alt+del frozen. The sites work fine in IE though...ANyone else have this problem? Im curious if its a problem with the two sites and Firefox, or if its a problem with MY firefox and the two sites.I've hardly ever been to weather.com but the first thing I noticed was that there was 3 flash objects on the page...might try reinstalling flash before a reinstall of firefox.I didn't notice any flash on ebay but you said it happens from time to time...maybe those times there might be flash on the page.Of course, this is all just guessing...hope it helps though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubba Bob Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the help.I reinstalled FireFox earlier this week, and I just now updated Flash. Still no change Edited March 31, 2006 by Bubba Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DumbTerminal Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hey bubbaI've had alot of problems myself.I've found that since about ver 1.0, FF LOVES to crash, especially if you have alot of extensions.I just recently uninstalled and reinstalled, and took it easy on the extensions, only using Mozilla approved ones, and it works ok. Still crashes if I leave it open over night, depending on the site that I am on.Keep in mind, when you uninstall, you should wipe out ALL traces. Save your bookmarksI deleted the profile, and EVERY reg entry that had to do with FFThose who have no problems with FF are not power usersArgue amongst yourselves..
