Is anyone else having problems with firefox lately?? Or is it just MEEEeeee!!!!!

Hi Ya Gabs Honey, how the heck are you?? Its crazy isn't it? Nope its not your laptop and apparently its not my old computer system here either, firefox just has some bugs or something in it on that last upgrade cause I for sure never ever had any problems like I'm having before using it; Annoying is using a "nice word" to describe it...LOL! The way I feel I can't type out that word...but I'm sure you can guess huh?? Hope you get it to working for you, and I hope it straightens out for me too; so far right now, she working perfectly...silly thing! Later I may not even be able to get a page of ANYTHING to load, that's when I get "mental" about it...LOL! take care now!

Hello Regzastyle: Well I see I'm not alone then in this matter huh? It sucks!! I don't have but 2 add-on's installed and at the moment I can only think of the one; I've not heard of the two you mentioned but then I really don't spend that much time on the site trying to see what all they have for us to add, as I do think all that stuff drags the computer down you know? Hopefully we will get our machines running top notch again and soon; thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience! and welcome to MYLOT!

HI Ikbooi: I always trusted firefox too until recently when it first started acting up on me, its just been doing crazy things, first one then another; I hope when I get finished saving all my main files and stuff when I do the next upgrade that it will straighten itself out; I do love using it, but i don't like it so much when it blows chunks on me; so far its working just fine today and it did ok last night but every once in a while it sure acts up; ( driving me crazy)!! Thanks for stopping by and sharing I do appreciate it!

HI Kykidd: All great advice and tips for sure, I clean out my cache a lot during the week, every week and when this thing is acting up, nothing seems to help it out until its finally "ready" to work again for me; Its making me crazy I know that!! I use Norton System works on mine, so I know there is no hidden trojans or other nasty virus's on here; I really think something is just freaky wrong with that last update they did on me cause I've had problems ever since...but once I get all my important stuff safe and sound, then I'm gonna uninstall it and then re-install it all...and if that doesn't help it out any, then I am going to use it for target practice...LOL!!! good luck to you too!!

Found out this morning that a friend of mine who doesn't use Firefox was having a similar problem with IE. Her computer is old so she thought she needed tp upgrade the memory. She took it into the shop & all they did was tweak some of the Microsodft updates & she says her computer is working good as new!!! In thinking, it's NOT just my Firefox having the problem. My Word is doing the same thing. i have 2 email proggies & BOTH are acting up. So, it may be a prob with the Microsoft updates NOT Firefox. If I know Microsoft, they are trying to block everybody from using Firefox!!!

I was married to a sailor & I made him blush frequently when I got PO'd!!! In between I'm sweet as sugar. But computers that act up after every upgrade makes me want to STOP doing the updates.

HI LadyMarissa: Nope dear lady you are not alone in this matter and neither am I; You know what I did uninstall my older versions of IE and after I reinstalled it IE 8, firefox has been working fine since then; Now how weird is that? I never dreamed or thought of IE maybe interfering with fire fox but it could be, it very well could be;??? LOL!! I bet you and I have used the same curse words huh? I tell you what when I get mad, really good hopping mad, I can almost outswear my Father's mouth and I learned from the best...LOL! How sad is that? I was so mad for so many days I wanted to not only smash my computer but wanted to use the whole old thing as a target practice, if I had money to buy myself a new one, I'D LOVE TO BLAST THIS THING...ROTFL!!!! no, reloading the dang thing didn't do a bit of good but that's what they always say to do on so many things you know, oh just reload it...it will fix your problems...PPFFTTT!! ( LIARS )... but my system has worked fine the last couple of days, no freezing up, no stalling out, and I've not had to threaten my puter at all not once...LOL! Good luck with yours try uninstalling IE any of your old versions and then reinstall IE 8 and see if it helps out your firefox, and speed wise?? Hey it might work, so far so good for me!

Hi there: Imajerseygirl; I think firefox is having major problems I really do; I hate IE and can't get it to work properly either ( most days ) right now the silly system is working fine but early this morning; It was constipated big time! that's the only way I know to describe it and I get so frustrated with it I just want to bash it all in or use the dang thing for a target practice...only thing is I have no money to replace it all if I blow it up...LOL!! I want to uninstall the blasted thing but not until I get all my other stuff safely transferred onto a disc; I'm not taking any chances; I do run Norton systemworks and there is no virus on my computer but I'm so tired of it being sluggish and then too paying for DSL and the whole thing just being so freakin slow; glad to know I'm not alone in this...(G)!! But it sucks doesn't it??

Another dear friend of mine also mentioned Chrome, I've just not had a second to try it out yet, but I'm gonna have too; She too is from Jersey...in fact your names are very similiar...how odd is that huh? LOL!!! thanks again for the tips and advice;

HI Gabs: Oh you did?? That's not good not good at all, I've still not had a chance to sit down and study it, I always like to do that before I install something new; but thanks for telling me that, I do appreciate it and I'm sure others will too! How are you??? Love & hugs to ya!!

HI tonyllenium; I think firefox just had some upgrade bugs in it, as there have been several others that responded to this post also having problems; Mine has worked fine the last few days which is GREAT...I hope it continues what ever I did or maybe firefox just got its bugs worked out I don't know but its been running smoothly ever since, thank God! I was ready to use my puter for target practice I was getting so mad at it; LOL! Yeah I used to be really good about always doing my backups and then I got to slacking off, and now I need to start doing that again more often;

Hi Sweetie: I was so tired last night I couldn't even write anymore on here; I know they have gotten really sneaky and I don't like that you know? Especially when the "newer upgrades" are blowing chunks for some of us; don't know what I can really do about it except fuss and cuss and yell and rant and rave...LOL!!! a couple of myloter's have mentioned using Chrome, I've not checked it out yet myself seems I never have enough time but I will soon; take care and I hope you and I get our machines up and running smoothly again ya know? take care!

HI IronMaiden: Oh noooo! That sucks!! Are you on Dial up? I use DSL, and here lately too with them its been slower than DIAL UP...now that really sucks! The last few days everything has been running much much better, not sure what all I did on here if anything but I've been doing lots of things to try to get it to move FASTER...(G)!! I just get crazy when the thing bogs down and or won't load squat at all you know? I hate it! Zero patience!! thanks for stopping by, and I hope your puter quits freezing up on you!!

Hi Cynthiann: I think mine was installed on its own, but check this page out http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/ have you tried when typing to misspell a word ? if its installed already you should see a red line over the misspelled word; If you don't see a red line then you've spelled it correctly; Hope this helps you out; (G)!

Hello Colmuc: NO I really think that last upgrade firefox did really has some major bugs/issues in it there are just too many of us on here having the same sort of problems you know? Yes I agree I don't like any version of silly IE...but I keep it downloaded as a back up just in case you know? I've used firefox the last couple of years and I never ever had a problem until that last upgrade they did on me, then freaky things started going haywire on me; So I thought I'd complain about it on here, makes for a good topic discussion, I have so much trouble trying to think of things to write about, so I just use whatever is going on around me here in my life (G)! Hope you are enjoying mylot and I hope we all get the bugs/issues worked out of firefox; Silly thing! take care!

Hello saprinafly: Heck I can't even get any page to log on at times, nothing! silly firefox page itself won't load, not any website its crazy!! Like I mentioned up above in a few others posts, I'll cuss and fuss and yell and scream, like it cares, then I'll leave it alone for awhile come back on and WA-La the dang thing works fine its just crazy!! It makes me crazier!! LOL!! Welcome to Mylot! Hope you are having fun here , thanks for stopping by my post!! Hope you get the bugs worked out on your puter using firefox... the silly thing!!

Hi raydogze: So firefox is just slow for you on your end or have you had problems getting it to even load a single website of anykind? today right now its working perfectly...but later tonight or tomorrow or whenever it feels like acting up it does; Its crazy! if you come back and read this, read the post below here about what Hornetlover posted; I'm going to check into that myself just to see if it makes a difference or not using IE...hey ya never know til we try right? Welcome to Mylot!!
