| 875297 | 2010-04-11 23:29:00 | Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close. This message started occurring a few weeks back and gets progressively worse. Most mornings I start by checking news at news.yahoo.com Somedays I get the error, some days I don’t. It happens with some other sites some days and not others and some sites seem to be no problem. e.g. TVNZ breaking news is ok but going to a link from there will set off the message I often get the message when going to a link off another page. I have tried Internet explorer and while it is much better it too is encountering similar problems. I have tried an old version of netscape it only occasionally gets the problem. Is there an easy solution to this? Regards, Ojos |

| 875301 | 2010-04-12 08:24:00 | In the past I had no problems with FF until versions 3.6+ came along. One of its problems was to run as a process instead of closing & then refusing to reload until I stopped the process in the Task Manager. This happened with XP & W7. I am now using "Sea Monkey" from the same people, uses FF add ons and launches much faster, with no problem so far. |
