Firefox

Anyone else having problems with Firefox? For the last few days it keeps freezing up, or at least slowing down to a crawl for minutes at a time. It happens every time I try to play a Youtube vid, but just now it happened for no apparent reason. Maybe the problem will disappear with the next update.

Have you tried disabling the extensions to see whether the problem disappears and then turning them back on one by one? Add-ons becoming glitchy after an update is always a possibility.

I thought the problem might be Youtube unblocker which had just updated, so I disabled that, but it hasn't made a difference. I'll try disabling the other ones, good idea.

I thought it was just my computer! Apparently not just me, though.

I'm glad to hear it's not just me. I was starting to worry about having caught some malware.

I had it crash on me last night. Which was pretty annoying, as I was trying to log on and get some schoolwork done.

I think I found the reason for mine; I had the old and the most recent version of youtube unblocker running paralell. Deactivating my add-ons one by one, I finally figured it out.
