AdwCleaner might fix those pesky ads for you:

I just disabled the flash.

I cannot get startpage to be my default search engine. Ideas?

Trying to make startpage my default. however I just realized that in order to make startpage my default I have to put it on the dropdown menu at the address bar. And I have deactivated that feature. So now I have it in favorites under search. I guess that is the best it can be.

I believe there was a thread a few days ago about this.

This may be a fix for you.

I just figured out how to make it an icon on my bar at the bottom of the screen! best yet!

There must be a name for that bar, and the bar above it?

"Will Adblock work on a Mac?"

Yes. I have it running on mine.

Its little icon similar to this: in my menu bar lets me access a few options (and read a plea for $$ -- it is shareware, not freeware.)...

Try, when you are in Facebook next, to go to the settings and see if you can find something where it is trying to sync photos etc. Also, run a google search for “facebook crashes pc” lots of hits when I just ran that search.
