Roby maybe you can help. Recently I've been having problems with my firefox browser freezing up constantly while I see at the top "Firefox is not responding" is there anything I can do to stop this? It does it CONSTANTLY is very annoying

I use Mozilla Firefox 4 Beta 12

unfortunately with the new "fast release schedule" that Firefox has adopted, it has left most add-ons, plug-ins and extensions twisting in the wind trying to keep things compatible

the best thing to do is to uninstall or disable all of your add-ons, update all of your plugins (especially Java and Flash) then reinstall only the most necessary plugins.

Thanks Roby, I hope that helps

It's getting worse, it freezes up at every chance it can. What can I do? It's getting frustrating. I can't even click on something without it freezing up

can you do a virus scan and see if anything comes up, then run Superantispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/downloadfile.html?productid=SUPERANTISPYWAREFREE) or MalwareBytes (http://fileforum.betanews.com/download/Malwarebytes-AntiMalware/1186760019/1)antispyware

uninstall Firefox completely, clean out your temp files (http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner)and install Firefox 3.6.21 (http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.6.21&os=win&lang=en-US)

if nothing else, you could post a HijackThis (http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/download/977401f430f892662f302243ff61e113/)! log for me to look at

Is there a way to save my bookmarks & other stuff before I uninstall?

you can backup & restore your bookmarks from the Organize Bookmarks menu: http://www.lockergnome.com/windows/2011/04/29/export-firefox-bookmarks/

Okay I cleared everything: cookies, cache, etc... and it seemed to have done the trick, no freezing up so far

do you think you could post a HijackThis log just to make sure there's nothing suspicious in there?

I spoke too soon :(

How do I do that Roby?

download and install HijackThis! (http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/download/977401f430f892662f302243ff61e113/)

run the program and click on "Do a system scan and save a log file"

this will run the scan and open Notepad with a full log file, select the entire text, copy and paste the results here (you can then close the notepad file without saving)

don't "fix" anything in HijackThis just close it (we just want to see whats in there

can you do a virus scan and see if anything comes up, then run Superantispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/downloadfile.html?productid=SUPERANTISPYWAREFREE) or MalwareBytes (http://fileforum.betanews.com/download/Malwarebytes-AntiMalware/1186760019/1)antispyware

I did this and everything is so much better. It's similiar to Google Chrome

I like Chrome, but never enough to use it as my main browser.
