    Hi guys I use Firefox as my Intenet browser but am having problems with it. I have been using Firefox now for about a year now without having any problems, but the past few days when I load up Firefox and start to browse the Internet after about 10mins it just starts to freeze, comes up at the top (Not Responding)!

    Has anyone had any issues with this in the past or present and how to fix it?

    Kind Regards

    There was a security fix for FF yesterday, I believe it was to do with something making fire fox crash. Suggest removing firefox completly use IE and download the latest version of FF and all updates if needed. Then see what happens.

    Does it happen with other browsers? Does it happen with older versions of Firefox?

    I was guessing that an update Firefox had done might have caused some weird conflict with your hardware. Alternatively, it might have been an app you've installed recently that's conflicting with Firefox.

    I've not installed anything in the last couple of weeks, just seems to be happening recently. Just cannot figure it out.

    No automatic updates? No virus scan updates? Nothing? Think outside the box... what might have changed - even something minor - in the last couple of weeks?
