Mozilla / firefox -"not responding" constantly

[Guest rita]

I just purchased a new HP tx2510us tablet PC

 

CPU 2.1 Ghz

RAM 3Gig

Vista OS

 

Have comcast internet

Max range Netgear wireless router

 

I was told this was fast enough to do basic work like surfing the net,

emails etc. even if i had 10 browser pages open all at once.

 

However I seem to be getting a "not responding" message on my

firefox / Mozilla page CONSTANTLY.

This is going on all the time.

 

The page keeps hanging for a long time.

 

Has anyone faced a similar situation and solved the issue ?

 

Please help me.

 

 

Thanks

Rita

This is neither a Windows Vista nor a Firefox support forum. Try these ones

instead (and regular users of the newsgroups will appreciate it very much if

you do not use Google Groups to post. You have a new reader built right into

your Vista system as part of Windows Mail. Just click here for the main

Vista group:

http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

 

Perhaps others here who use Firefox can recommend forums that are

appropriate for Firefox discussions. I don't use it and so can't recommend

any, unless maybe the ones here:

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Support+Website+Forums

Repost with details e.g. what version of Mozilla Firefox you

installed under Win98. IIRR WinXP now uses Firefox 2.0.0.16

but Mozilla recommends v.1.???? for Win98.

Don, FYI, I am using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox with 98 Second

Edition and it works fine so you don't have to worry about using the latest

version of 2.0.0.16 for 98 Second Edition. I have not tried version 3.x for

Windows XP Professional because I am truly a legacy user even before

security. <grin>

Your system is plenty fast and beefy enough to do what you want.

One easy thing to try is to uninstall and reinstall FireFox.

First, go to the Mozilla website and download and save the latest ver of

FireFox to a folder you can find easily.

Now uninstall FireFox and then reboot. Install the new FireFox and see what

happens.

This whole procedure shouldn't take more than around 10 min.

If this doesn't solve the problem, then it probably is a problem with your

ISP and/or your router and/or your modem.

You will probably have more luck on a Vista or FireFox newsgroup or even one

that deals with your router.

Additionally, it may help also to use REGEDIT (if sure of what

you are doing) to search for and remove all Firefox keys. I just

did this to get out of the "Unresponsive script" error viz.

1. DL Firefox to software bank.

2. Uninstal Firefox

3. REGEDIT to remove all Firefox keys

4. Instal new Firefox.

This works for me i.e. starts v.2.0.0.16 with no "Unresponsive script"

delays.
