I seem to spend more time with "firefox not responding" than any other problem. I mostly use my laptop for yahoo email, net zero email, ebay, sam's club auctions and on line shopping. Net Zero particularly gives me a hard time. It's just not worth using one of these, I just have to decide if it's firefox or net zero. What is causing this problem. I don't like IE or whatever it is now, bit I'm just about fed up with firefox.

not responding means the computers CPU is being overworked.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
