I'm not having much luck with Firefox at the moment. [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img]
Now what's happening is I'm starting to have a stuttering problem with it - where when I'm typing in a forum window, or clicking on a link, or scrolling down a page, it freezes for a few seconds and then goes again. It's very annoying. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling (see, it happened again as I'm typing right now, it freezes for about 3 seconds and then all the words come in a rush) but it doesn't fix the problem. Same when I try and scroll down on sites - there's this delay before I can scroll, and it seems to happen at regular intervals. Even when I try and use the browser menus it freezes/stutters. I also tried clearing my private data (cookies, etc) but that hasn't fixed it - it's happening on every website I visit. I've disabled many of my extensions and themes - same issue. I ran spyware checks and cleared my PC of spyware but it's still happening. Just typing this message has taken forever because it keeps stuttering, and it is so annoying!! :mad: The problem is NOT happening with IE7. It's almost like there's some kind of script running every 10-15 seconds or so which "freezes" it or uses up heaps of RAM. This just started happening tonight. Any clues??

Another thing I noticed is that unlike IE7, I can hear my HD whirring everytime I use Firefox, if that helps. And the whirring usually accompanies the stuttering/freezing...

See, I'm using IE7 right now and there is NO freezing or stuttering.

That's certainly very odd. I don't think it's the actual browser that is causing the problem. Do you have a lot of Extensions installed? One or some of them might be causing the problem.
Cheers. ADD] Here's a list of the Extensions that I personally. None of them has caused me any problems thus far. What Extensions do you have? http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/4...ionsam2.th.jpg [ 12-18-2006, 07:51 AM: Message edited by: Dundee Slaytern ] |
I've disabled all the extensions (none of which were causing any problems before) and it's still there. I've also reinstalled it twice. It just started happening last night.

I have no idea, but I hope you are dilligent wit your system restore points.

Another thing, it's making this little clicking sound every now and then - like it's refreshing or reloading a page.

How about your Firefox options? Have you changed them from their defaults? If so, in what way? What is the size of your cache( mine is 128mb)?
Note that I myself have fiddled around with the settings in order to increase the security of my web-surfing, but in your case, we're trying to find out if the default settings will eliminate the problem. Cheers. |
Hmmm... one thought, based on the frequency and something noted in the Security Monkey blog :

The fact that it's happening so frequently makes me suspect it's related... but I have no idea what to do with it, or how to address it... yet. |
