Stupid problems with Firefox

[The Green Bastard]

It will simply stop connecting. I will be surfing a site (NN, ebay, etc) and it will just hang and stop downloading from the site. IE doesn't do it.

It worked perfectly until about a week ago.
:squint: WTF

Please run CCleaner (http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/) with the FireFox option/temp files included and report back mate.

Merci beaucoup.

[The Green Bastard]

Cleaned 3 GB of stuff! Hope it works for FF. :-) :x:

[Binary Soldier]

report back brother, root of the problem FTW

[The Green Bastard]

Still just stops downloading webpages. Fuck.

IE > FF???

:wtc:

I was having the same problem. I installed the NoScript (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722) addon and it works fine now.

I've seen the same thing since the 2.0.0.12 update. I have to see if I have an older release laying around and try it out.

my 3beta wont go the the english home page, it keeps jumping through all the languages.

I've seen the same thing since the 2.0.0.12 update. I have to see if I have an older release laying around and try it out.I back-graded to 2.0 and it's still doing the same damn thing.

[The Green Bastard]

:wtc: Been thinking -- I disabled a few unneccessary processes. I can't remember if this started after or before I did that.

And FF will work fine for 2-3 min, then it will simply pause in its downloading

You could try opera as a temporary fix

[The Green Bastard]

I fucking hate opera :hs:

[SupraMan1990]

Opera is shit, try Netscape if your gonna try a fix, it's damn near identical to FF

FF3 Beta 4 is working flawlessly for me.

FF3 Beta 4 is working flawlessly for me.

Same here.

Except even though I have upgraded, it asks me randomly if I want to upgrade. :ugh:

[CaseLogic]

what are the advantages/disadvantages of upgrading to the beta right now?

[Roshambo]

what are the advantages/disadvantages of upgrading to the beta right now?

I see none. Actually.. it worked fine before, and I knew I shouldnt upgrade. I'm gonna revert back to a later version I think.

It won't stop asking me to upgrade, even though I already have numerous times!

You can always uninstall and install FireFox.

Have you tried deleting your profile? Back up your bookmarks first (THIS IS IMPORTANT), then go to the run command and enter "firefox -p". Delete the profile, close and start Firefox.

I have noticed some websites cause firefox to stop downloading, most notably myspace. Dont know what it is about myspace, but it causes it to completely stop downloading. I havent really noticed any other sites that causes it. FF3B5 works perfectly except for myspace.

All the opera haters, list your reasons...because you sound dumb as fuck. Opera is a class act, has been for 10+ years

the only problem i've been having with b5 is it (quite frequently) crashes. usually when i'm in gmail. it's only when i have few tabs open ... i'm still trying to figure out what is causing it.

anyone else having crashes like this?
