Since I Installed the LAST few Updates FF has CRASHED MORE often and FROZE and SLOW in Typing and Navigating When more that 2 tabs are in use. SO I want to UNINSTALL those "Fixes" or "Updates that Crashes CONSTANTLY!"

IF I WILL loose all info Then I WILL go Back (after 12 to 13 years Using FF) IE or Google Chrome! AND tell others From HOW GOOD FireFox WAS to HOW bad it is NOW!

Care to chat via Phone Let me know and I will fwd my Phone # (USA) to you or call you (USA ONLY) myself!

Thank YOU! Wade K. Waldron!

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.

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites.

Check and make sure all of your programs are up to date. If you can get one, run a registry check/cleaner.
