I've been getting this message for weeks now. And this is the 3rd time I've asked for help with this and nothing is working. I'm thinking about jumping ship back to Internet Explorer. Can't believe I'm saying this since I've been with you guys for years now. Can anyone PLEASE help? Keep getting this damn "not responding" message.

Did you check your firewall? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

The firewall itself is on and running as normal. I hope I don't have to re-configure this or anything. Hate to admit it but anything like that is not my strong-point.

Getting rid of the multiple flash plugins seems to work. Haven't tried to disable the hardware acceleration in Firefox yet, but I will. Thank you so much.
