I have been having issues with Firefox. Doesnt matter if I use 2.0 or 2.0.0.3…The browser runs slow…every few seconds…stops responding and then it’s fine. Very difficult to do anything. I am going to try to find a fix but meantime, hello Internet Explorer. :2fingers: ---

[/quote] Yes cupcake…removed folders, uninstalled, removed reg keys…shall I go on? Personally I think it’s how firefox pulls updates and data…because when I disable plugins, or even uninstall, it doesnt seem to know that those have been removed…it still says " these add-ons will be removed when you restart firefox" and thats the 4th time I have restarted firefox. ---

no, it’s in the case. When I open or close the browser, my cpu usage spikes for about 20 seconds…so the process is still active for that amount of time. Strange to say the least. ---

Install the noscript extension for firefox and see if the problem goes away… Otherwise try Opera. Anything is better than IE. ---
