Each time I go to FB it freezes my computer while the disk runs madly. How frozen, chickensoup? Frozen enough that it stopped a cd I was listening to dead in its tracks, only to start back up when unfrozen.
If I don't clear my caches and files there is no freezing.
Anyone else experience this?
I do from time to time. It’ll spontaneously reload and take several minutes in doing so.
No.
Sounds like your computer is the victim of climate change....
Are you logged in?
I’ve been having the same problem, but with multiple sites I frequent: Drudge, American Thinker, Frontpage, American Spectator, Daily Mail, Facebook. Fortunately, NOT Free Republic.
What is interesting that the problem came after I had to renew the multi McAfee subscription that came with my computer and had to do a complete reload of Mcafee. I’ve also noticed, since then, that when I closed down the computer, several ads shadowy click by while shutting down. I’m guessing they were blocked and thus show up when I shut down.
I also ran System Mechanic and that didn’t seem to do any good. I’ll try manual emptying of cache tonight.

Ever since I cancelled my FB account it never freezes on me, at least I don’t think it does, but I’m not really sure, since never go there anymore.
I run this: http://www.fbpurity.com/
Not sure if it will help your problem, but you can surely clean up FB and hide a lot of the crap they put on there that is so annoying. You can also force it to keep the setting on ‘most recent’ activity so it doesn’t switch back to ‘top stories’ or whatever the default is.
I do run Ad Block - also run NoScript ( https://noscript.net/ ) which is a little more complicated but gets high marks. Between the two, I can now go to Hot Air without it freezing my computer.
Some sites loads a ton of junk. Amazon is bad about that, too.
When that happens, I click on the ‘stop’ button on the browser toolbar.
Various websites have various problems.
Whenever I go to Stars-NHL website, it stops loading after a while and pops up a ‘scripting’ error. It has done that for several years.
Occasionally, Walmart.com will error out and not fully load. That seems to happen with many websites that have converted to ‘mobile-friendly’ formats. They may be ‘mobile-friendly’ but they mess up on ‘real’ computers.
I actually have several browsers. Many times, a page or video that will not open in one browser may or may not open in another.
A lot of it is just poor programming.
Yes, my display driver sometimes will quit working at that website! Too much going on I guess.
FB is like an information superhighway for malware.
i had the same thing happening...
what I discovered through trial and error, if you have 2 anti virus programs in your computer ( I had windows and avast) they fight each other and freeze facebook and slow down the rest of your computer...
only run 1 anti virus program and the problem goes away
It used to happen to me.
Then I turned Flash off. Now the ubiquitous movies don’t run.
Now Facebook is better.
Simple solution - call the kids and actually speak with them and never use FB.
I don’t experience that. Possible reasons:
I don’t use FB or go there;
for the other sites, I use the “edit site preferences” option of Opera, where I can de-select javascript and cookies and popups and animated images and so much else;
and I use ghostery. (Available free at ghostery.com)
No it doesn’t.
It’s probably Flash
Facebook NEVER freezes my computer. Neither does Twitter.
How is that possible?
Easy.
I don’t use either of them, and never have.
I avoid all possible problems if at all possible.
Heck, Google never freezes my computer either. Guess why?
However, I am getting tired of using Firefox, since it’s gotten way too slow, even after I clear my FF cache. Perhaps it’s got a lot to do with using Yahoo too much. I might have to stop using any Yahoo properties too.
Waiting for Windows 10, and perhaps all of my online caches will start from scratch. My try Edge to see if my online browsing gets any better.
Still, I’ll NEVER get any freezes from FB or Twitter or any large online web-site. Once one of those web-sites I frequent starts to get ‘busy’ on me, or buggy, or runs scripts on my ‘puter, they’re gone.
No, never freezes for me.
I believe there was a thread a few days ago about this.
This may be a fix for you.
