I have had a long term problem with Firefox freezing. Sometimes it can't load any images on a web page but the main problem is that it just freezes and you can't do anything. Not even quit, have to force quit.

It seems quite random and it is really ******* me off. I have Googled the problem and on the mozilla website people are saying the Google toolbar causes it but I don't have this installed. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck.

It is version 2.0.0.13 and OSX is 10.4.11.

Has anyone else had this problem and do you know how to solve it?

I'd really like to stay on Firefox, don't like Safari.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Have you uninstalled Firefox and tried the latest RC3 beta?

Hi,

I have not tried that recently though I did uninstall and go for the latest version about a month ago which didn't sort the problem. I will try this new version.

After I uninstall the application, should I remove the user profile data as well? I don't particularly want to lose my bookmarks but I will if need be.

Cheers guys!

Go to Bookmarks -> Organize bookmarks
Then File -> Export , and you can export all your bookmarks.

After reinstalling, Go to Bookmarks -> Organize bookmarks
Then File -> Import , and you can import all your bookmarks again.

Make a note of all your extensions so you can reinstall those separately (I think its always better to clean install extensions for stability rather than back those up)

Thanks. I'm on Version 3 now. Nice!

Cheers everyone. Hopefully no more freezing up. :)
