Anyone else having problems with Firefox today?
It was fine yesterday and now today its delaying links even pausing my entire Windows performance.
I have tried to update Firefox and it says its up to date.

Nope - not me.
How's your memory usage? When did you last reboot?

Maybe your internet connection is flaky today. As a test, try other browsers (IE, Chrome, etc).

Yeah this morning it was so bad I thought my ISP was going down.
I fucking hate Flash. There's no reason that their Flash program should be as bad and this problematic at 11.3.
I've had nothing but Flash crashes for past few months and seriously considering downgrading to version 10. I would love to remove Flash all together (can't wait for HTML 5 to be adopted), but so many websites and functionality rely on Flash.
FUCK FLASH! Adobe squandered their whole market and development of Flash, just because they were lazy.

Ah... once again, not letting Flash auto-update has proven to be a very good thing.

I run Firefox on half a dozen different machines -- the production version, the beta one, even the bleeding-edge one they call "Aurora." They're all set to auto-update. It's been a long time since I can recall having any problem.

I had problems with 14 and 15 for short time. I think it was old version of Flash that crashed it.
Java has been problematic for along time. I"m running Java RE 6 U33 and haven't gotten java problems or crashes since.
I hear 7 is a buggy (can't confirm) so sticking with 6, not sure if it's any better, but I worry about Java security vulnerabilities.

^^Why do you even have java enabled? I haven't had the java plugin installed for years and that never caused me a problem visiting websites.

I can't swear that this is what helped but my PC was getting sluggish (especially while running Firefox) and I installed this. Subjectively, everything I do on my computer seems snappier now.
But.....
My PC is old. I've had the same one since 07. If you're running a new one with a powerful CPU, it might not help. I was specifically looking for something that would step in when resources were low. The program appears to default to auto and it seems to work fine that way. Since I don't know exactly what it's doing and am not that good with this stuff, I chose not to mess around with the settings. I am happy with a modest speed boost.

Aren't there things on some web pages that require Java?
I don't know. I'm just asking. I occasionally turn it off when I'm visiting porn sites and everything seems to work OK. But then if I forget to turn it back on when I go back to my normal browsing I seem to have problems with clicking things and getting no response.

Rarely. Most java applications I know off are either standalone or made for a company purpose. I haven't even seen the 'install missing plugin' prompt in ages and I browse the web a lot. Java is a very big securityhole in a browser.

I have 14.0.1 and it seems to finally agree with the world. The biggest problem I had was Flash and it fought when it first came out. That doesn't seem to happen anymore. When it first came out Flash seemed to crash 10+ times a day. I have been ignoring the update it wants me to apply just because I'm afraid it might start back up again.

I found this but I have to test it, actually the easiest thing would be for me to make that housecall and operate on your MacBook, just don't try and distract me by walking naked in the room!

I have never cared for Firefox. Didn't even put the browser on my new pc. Some of the text in Chrome does not display properly.
I have been using IE 8 and to my surprise it works fine.
Waiting for Windows 8.
