I've been having Firefox (on Windows) freeze a lot lately. Anyone else experiencing problems? |

Works great for me (linux). The only trouble I have with it is when I right-click a picture to save it. It sort of crashes, though after canceling that and trying again it's fine.
Works well for me as well when I use it at school (windows, of course). |

Many Firefox stability issues have been traced back to the Flash plugin. |

Yeah same here; also when ever I click a javascript "close window" link, firefox crashes, they sorta ruined it.
Anyone know where to get the talkback extension? The one that comes up when firefox crashes. I don't seem have it. |

my browser keeps locking up when I try to go to arstechnica.com. Could be a proxy problem, though. |

So is it only me who is having that problem with the "Close Window" thing?
If so... it might just be an extension installed, not sure. |

Works fine here.
I'm using the portable (USB) version, though. |

I've always had a problem where FireFox crashed 1/2 the time when I get the private message notice popup + sound. |

Hehe, I only have SearchPluginHacks and DictionarySearch. I'm pretty sure it's a problem with QuickTime? |
