I am sick and tired of Firefox freezing up, running slow, slow in Facebook, Shockwave errors,Script errors etc.

I reset Firefox no help, I ran C Cleaner no help, cleaned out cookies no help. deleted history no help, ran disk clean up no help. I go to Internet Explorer no issues, but I prefer Mozilla.

Where do I go from here?

Try defragmenting your computer's hard drive(s). I recommend using Auslogics Disk Defrag Free.

Would defraging help, because I/E Browser works fine?

Defrag the computer, and if needed create a new profile.

I would also use Defraggler instead.

Instead of Auslogics.

One cause of terrible performance and script errors on sites that use media can be the Flash Player plugin's protected mode. If you haven't already, please disable that. See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?

Defragging your computer would help.

You can think of it like this. Every time a new file is added to your computer, it is assigned a number in the order that it arrives. This means that when you run a program, your computer needs to look through every single file one-by-one in order, until it finds all files that it needs to open the program. This can cause a program to run slowly.

When you defrag your computer, your computer does two things. It groups program files together and assigns them consecutive numbers. It also re-arranges the ordering of the files and assigns them new numbers. The files that are used most often are numbered first compared to rarely used files.

This is why Internet Explorer does not run as slow as Firefox. Internet Explorer comes with the Windows operating system and is numbered first. Firefox however, is not numbered first like IE.
