Porn sights tend to do that to a lot of browsers.

I haven't been to any porn sites in a long time. Do you think that one of them gave me the gift that keeps on giving?

I have had FF crash a lot lately. I've been using Chrome for the last little while.

IDK, it seems that any browser I try will randomly become unresponsive for a minute or more every so often. I can't explain that. It happens with IE, FF and GC. But this is different. FF just crashes and says it has to close and send an error report in addition to becoming unresponsive from time to time.

I'm having the 'Not Resonding' issue, too. Any light on that one?

I have also noticed a lot of updates to FF and the plugins I use.

FF is currently at 3.5.7 on this computer.

If you do not auto-update go to Check for updates in the Help menu.

Also in the Tools menu, click Add-ons and hit the Find Updates button

I try to use minimal extensions and plugins. For plugins I just use Java, Flash and Mplayer for all media. For extensions, I stick with Adblock Plus, Flashblock, Right Click Link and a bunch for web development (Firebug, Web Developer, DOM Inspector and Javascript Debugger). I think it helps for stability to have fewer things. I used to have a bunch more extensions but I learned to live without them.

No insight to share. Although I did get a Run Time error tonight on C:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe. I don't know what that means or what that does but I suspect it may have something to do with my issues.

What if the bookmarks are segregated by category and put in folders? Does that make any difference, or does the sheer number of bookmarks cause the problems? How many bookmarks does it take to have problems and why?

I'm not quite sure. All I know is when I hit the bookmarks button on my most potent rig with an overclocked AMD Athlon 3000+ and 1 GB ram... it takes about one or two seconds for the menu to drop down.

I guess more than 300 or so? I'm not going to count!

60 won't cause problems... it shouldn't anyways.

I've had FIREFOX for over a year now. Some sites cause problems, but I just restart the computer. I don't think it has anything to do with firefox, just the sites might be the issue.
