554194	2007-05-29 10:37:00	Evening. Firefox (2.0.0.3) has recently begun freezing when I click on links. The homepage loads fine, but when I click a few links, the whole thing halts and I need to end the 'task'. Normally I would do that in task manager but that has stopped appearing when after I select using ctrl+alt+del or right-click on taskbar. So, now you know my problem. I'm running firefox in safe mode at the moment.

554195	2007-05-29 11:05:00	I think you have got more of a FF problem than a virus problem. Have you got the latest version of FF? Mine used to freeze when viewing pages until I updated.	winmacguy (3367)
554196	2007-05-29 11:19:00	2.0.0.3 is the latest.	jermsie (6820)
554197	2007-05-29 11:26:00	Have you tried re installing it? Either that or try Opera.	winmacguy (3367)
