Epic fail! Problem loading page or Page not found almost every time I go to a page. I have to always refresh FF before it can find its way to the page.
If the page have flash on it, FF either crashes or becomes unresponsive, in which case I have to use Task Manager to force quit FF.
Does anyone have better browser out there? I run on windows 7 and would love to make a shift.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== DEVs messed up with updates >:(

First, update your version of Flash, it is very old and contains security and stability issues. Install/Update Adobe Flash Player for Firefox (aka Shockwave Flash): your ver. 10.~~red:0 r2~~; current ver. 10.1 r53 (important security update 2010-06-10; see: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-14.html) ~~red:Check your version here~~: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ See: Updating Flash -use Firefox to download and SAVE to your hard drive (save to Desktop for easy access) -exit Firefox (File > Exit) -In Windows, check to see that Firefox is completely closed (Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose Task Manager, click Processes tab, if "firefox.exe" is on the list, right-click "firefox.exe" and choose End process, close the Task Manager window) -In Windows, double-click on the Adobe Flash installer you just downloaded to install/update Adobe Flash -when the Flash installation is complete, start Firefox, and test the Flash installation here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507&sliceId=1
- NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
- NOTE for IE: Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version of Flash. To install/update the IE ActiveX Adobe Flash Player, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX Flash installer. See: ActiveX

If you believe that plugin-container is causing your problems, you can disable it: -type about:config in the URL/location bar and press the Enter key -if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful) -Filter = dom.ipc -double-click on each item that is set to true to set the value to false -test to see if the problem is corrected See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins#Disabling_crash_protection
