mozilla firefox flash plugin keep feezing

When I do so, FF3 completely freezes my computer (no error messages or anything - just a big freeze), and I have to reboot. Viewtopic.php?f=38&t=717715&p=3711775Well, I think I've narrowed it down a bit more - the problem only seems to occur when I'm accessing a secure page. Did you notice hard disk thrashing when using 3.0? If so, the problem may be related to this. They do not appear on new installation on new computers.Ģ. The issues of freezing you may have found on this forum are almost all related to updates from earlier versions of Firefox and are caused by problems in the user's profile. I hope I can go back to FF some day.ĭanRaisch wrote:1. In the mean time I'm using Opera - it's working flawlessly, but I much prefer the look and feel of Firefox. Any ideas what the problem is, and if there's a fix coming any time soon? That suggests to me this is a problem with Firefox, not my computer(s). Both of these computers were brand new installs - I literally did not use them for anything else before I downloaded Firefox. When I got the second computer (the exact same comp), I proceeded to install Firefox again, and the EXACT same thing happened. In the meantime, I used the first comp for a bit, and Firefox froze on it just like I explained above. Dell sent me one computer, but it had a dent, so they sent me a replacement. The kicker is this: this exact same problem happened on TWO brand new computers. It's happened at a few other sites, too, but I can't remember which ones.

I also noticed this happen on, at the log in screen. It seems like it has been happening when I get to the log in screen of a site like, for example, yahoo mail, and put my cursor in the text box to enter my user information. My problem is that Firefox 3.0.1 will occasionally freeze up, causing me to completely reboot my comp (it's a hard freeze I can't do anything other than reboot). I think this is a fairly common problem, and from what I've seen through a bit of searching, no one has any ideas as to what is causing the problem or how to fix it.Īnyway, I just got a new computer, and the first thing I did was install Firefox - I'm running Vista Home Premium.
