Firefox 2 lagging and freezing- I'm Stumped! Please Help!
by Herbo13 - 5/16/07 10:50 AMHi Everyone. In the last week or so, Firefox 2 has been extremely slow and freezing up whenever I surf various sites (Most noticeably on Personalized Google Home/GMail) and even when scrolling down on a site it "freezes" for abit as if it's loading more info (This happens on bothe me and my fiance's accounts on XP Pro). I have tried various things to correct this but I am stumped! Has anyone else ran into this have a possible solution? Could this be a problem w/ Firefox, my router, Comcast Cable or the Modem, Windows, Panda Firewall, Memory shortage, etc.? Any tweaks in FF2 I could tryThanks in advance!!!
Here's my computer info:
Firefox 2 w. Ext- Customize Google, Stumbleupon, IE Tab, Tab Mix Plus,Print Preview, Blue Ice Theme(cleaned private info, cache, etc.), Have Java 6 Update 1, Comcast Cable (7 Mbps), Windows XP w/ SP2 (Windows Firewall disabled, have run error check, Disk Cleaner, Defrag, Panda 2007 (Firewall allows Firefox as Outbound (Client)), I do have a router (seems all is OK, only have a Nintendo Wii attached with it), Dell 4700 w/ 250 GB storage (plenty of free space), 2 GB RAM, Have used CCleaner, Spybot, Panda's Scan and Adaware recently.

Do you have this issue if you use another browser?
This could be an issue with "whenever I surf various sites"
Try AVG ANTI SPYWARE

firefox slow and freezing on google
by stinman - 6/8/07 8:47 PM In reply to: Firefox 2 lagging and freezing- I'm Stumped! Please Help! by Herbo13I have same problem,I been having it for a long time,well a month or so.
Just tonight I was watching pink floyd live on google video.I stayed there for 3 songs,which by the way is great video,it is 1hr and 25 min long.If I stay anywhere very long when I click on a different link I get the problem loading page.Then I have to unplug my cable box then plug it back in to renew my address.This is getting aggravating.I have xp pro MCEdition 2005,Ccleaner,2007 Adaware plus,Trend micro 2007 pc-illian,avg 7.5 scanner,spywareblaster.I scan daily with one or the other.I never get over 30mb of internet cache or tempory pages in Ie7 combined because they are set low and I run Ccleaner every 4 or so days.So I am clean and free of clutter I believe anyway.So I don't know what to do.I been using Ie7 more lately,it's been faster and working better but I would rather use ff.I don't know what to do?
