Pages i open yahoomail, twitter, fanfiction.net. will work for short time, then actions (enter, page down, click in boxes etc) slow way down then firefox crashes. reports were sent I don't have numbers. I ran the malware/spyware programs rec'd on your help page. I don't seem to have these problems using IE. I really like Firefox but if this continues I'll have no choice but to use IE or download Chrome. I tried to read your info on crashes but it just confused me, sorry
