Is anyone else having trouble with firefox?  It keeps crashing and will not let me stay on long enough to accomplish anything.

No problem with Firefox here either.  I run Windows XP on what my wife refers to and my dinosaur.

Kepy...have you gone to mozilla.org and done the latest updates?

That should get you back up and running.

Have you update your anti-virus software and anti-spyware software.   You might have a trojan virus on your system also known as malware.

Get Vipre internet security 2013 and it well clean up your system and run faster. i'll bet that you got a virus.

Beastie Killer ->  http://www.malwarebytes.org/  if you are worried about malware etc this is what I recommend...


But for Firefox crashes ....
