I used to like firefox. Now it always crashes on me. Especially at michaelsavage.com and stories regarding Clinton planting questions during her Iowa town hall meetings on foxnews.com. What’s up with that?

On of your plugins or something is broken.

Dunno. It crashes on me now when I play youtube type vids, so I keep IE for that purpose, but I hate IE

I think Bill Gates is playing games. I never send an error report to microshaft.

I hope to be 100% Linux here soon

I use firefox almost exclusively. It has interesting add-ons
that cut down on online ads.

Maybe re-install, sounds like something ‘broke’ — I never have trouble with Firefox, and I have used it almost exclusively for the past 2 years.

I tried K-Meleon for awhile, which is another browser put out by the Mozilla people....... liked it at first, on certain websites it is quick and snappy (supposedly it is based upon the same source code as Firefox, but in a more stripped-down version??). However, over time and as I went to a lot more websites I found that K-Meleon often seemed more sluggish and I went back to Firefox.

Any techies out there able to compare Firefox, K-Meleon, Safari, and other browers? I also tried Avant for awhile but didn’t find any particular advantage to it and stopped using it.....

Same here. It freezes on me every few days, which it never did the first couple years of using the browser. And I periodically get some message saying that it can't load all its files (or something like that). Deleting Firefox and reloading it hasn't made a difference. IE sucks, don't like Opera.

Over the holidays, I'm going to format my drive and try to set it up to duel-boot Linux (probably Ubuntu) and XP and get away from Windows mostly.

"Now it always crashes on me."

I was getting the same, and traced it down to a buggy addon. Try removing all addons and see if it continues to happen. If the crashing stops, bring back the addons one at a time, until the crashing comes back.
