Hi Sorry I am no technical genius, but lately, my firefox constantly freezes, crashes " not responding" ect ect. I have tried the memory thing that does not work over the last 6 months I seem to get this no matter what PC I use. I am very close to just uninstalling it across all my pcs
Is there anything I can do to stop this abject failure as I really do like Firefox

Re: Memory Hog
I have no idea what that is referring to.I have tried the memory thing
Have you tried starting Firefox in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
If no improvement using Safe Mode, do you have the same problem if you create a new profile and test it with no extensions or non-default themes installed?
