Guest James Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I use version 2.0.0.14 of Mozilla Firefox. I tried to post this in an appropriate Mozilla group, but my server does not carry them. My OS is Windows XP, Professional. If I go to a website where the initial, downloaded page is a lengthy multi-page article, Firefox freezes. It does fine day after day, as long as I only click on text articles that are only 2 or 3 pages in length. Anyone have any idea why I have this problem ? Thanks for any advice on this. James

It is better than Firefox. The mystery is why Firefox get false publicity.
Guest Will Pittenger Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Re: Firefox Question ? I have seen advice that you should avoid Opera 9.5. Besides, FF has far more extensions and themes than IE. I don't know what Opera has, but I doubt it has that many. ----- will 68 at mtco dot com will dot pittenger1 at gmail dot com (use this address for large signatures) Sanford Aranoff wrote: > James wrote: >> I use version 2.0.0.14 of Mozilla Firefox.

Guest R. McCarty Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Re: Firefox Question ? I'm using Opera 9.5 and have had zero issues with it. Any new release of anything will always have a few problems. I've not seen any information that says Opera 9.5 should be avoided.

In addition to not being a genuine Microsoft product (which may void your warranty), when I last used it, my cat developed warts. Removing Firefox caused the cat warts to fall off. I haven't tried since. Maybe when the cat dies...
