Seems run OK until loading Facebook or scrolling to fast on EBay. I have the latest Java and the Macromedia flash available for 64 bit. The only other consideration might be the max available bandwidth is around 160kbs possibly due to a usb 2.0 wifi connection to internet. Insights Greatly Appreciated!

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

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?

Note that only the 32-bit Firefox (on Windows) will work on WinXP 64-bit. The 32-bit Firefox requires 32-bit Plugins.

The 64-bit (Win64) Firefox requires 64-bit Windows 7, 8 (8.1), 10 to run.
