Hello, when I try and pull up certain websites, the website will not repsond. It will hang up for a long time until I finally go to the Task Manager and close the page. I have tried to get Firefox to look for a solution before closing the page, but it never finds one.

When the page shuts down, I get the message "PlugIn Container for Firefox has stopped working".

I clicked on the description of the most recent one and I got:

A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.

Can anyone help me? I have used Firefox as my primary browser for years with no problems but this is causing me frustration and delays on a daily basis.

Thanks Michele
