Firefox
 
Is anyone else having problems with Firefox quitting on them - a lot???

Yes, I've been having a lot of trouble lately. I don't know why. But I generally use my iPod, which doesn't use Firefox, so I only need to deal with it when I use the desktop computer. I tried running a virus scan over the weekend but it didn't improve anything either.

I use Firefox and have not encountered any problems.

I use firefox on 3 out of 4 computers and have not had issues with it. On the one computer I don't use it, I do have issued with it but I think that is a matter of the version of Windows 7 on that laptop and the version of Firefox that I downloaded on that computer just a month ago just don't play nicely together. It works okay except that there are some graphics that are stretched. Firefox has seemed (to me, at least) to have some significant stability issues since earlier this spring.

I had problems with my Firefox a few months ago, but it seems to have straightened out now. It was crashing on me constantly. Very annoying.

I'm having trouble with it all the time.

Uninstall the Firefox on your computer when it starts going bad, and then reinstall it. This works for me.

That must be my problem also. It is particularly slow on the Quilting Board, which is soooo annoying! I also still have Windows XP. I was wondering why everything was so slow, but just figured it was my computer!

well, i uninstalled firefox and reinstalled... I also cleaned out my bookmarks, defragged and arcfhived more emails, didn't seem to help much. most of us, too , had AdBlockPlus with Firefox. I hesitated to change to Chrome.. thought ABP wasn't available with that... but it is! and it now tells me how many ads are blocked on the page i'm viewing... very interesting, indeed.
