Hi.....At least twice ,Firefox crashed. I have an H/P , using Vista..The main problem is when scrolling on my home page ..Yahoo , the scroll bar jerks and stops and also freezes.........I've tried yahoo with I/E and don't have that problem..I switched to Firefox because I/E was always messing up..I've gone back and set my computer to an earlier date but the problem has not resolved itself.....Thanks

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
