Anyone else having problems with Firefox?

It's only on this site, but has been very slow to respond when browsing the site, anyone else w/ this? My IE browser works fine, but I hate it so I'd rather use FF.

Try this:
Go to add ons and download Adguard.
Its free...
I got super fast cable hooked in via ethernet and get over 180 to 200 mbps but the god damm ads everywhere slow you down no matter how fast you are. Adguard really speeds things up because everywhere you go now there is another ad popping up that does not load and script is all messed up....etc

Maybe not your problem....but worked for me..

I had to install Ad Blocker due to this site and it's ridiculous ad content. Helps when browsing elsewhere, too. Still, this site is sorta slow because it has to wait to connect the damned Facebook button every time the page is refreshed.

Disconnect will help with the facebook stuff.

I agree though, the site has been slow lately.

Thanks Graphite for the Adblocker tip, seems to have helped, and I disconnected the social media tabs.
Appreciate the heads-up!

When you install the Adblocker add-on there are options to turn on, one of them is the social media tab blocker.

Hmm, I can't access that now. Oh well, I'm happy with performance as is.

Anyone know why Adobe Flash keeps crashing?
I get it everywhere, frequently, with FF and IE.

I've tried removing it and reinstalling AF, as well as FF. Still happens.

Thanks on the ad blocker tip. There is so much ad content on websites now it'll choke a fire hose.

Holy smokes! Firefox is 100x faster now that I put on AdBlocker Thanks!
I'll see if it fixes the Flash crash.

Just say no to Flash. It's swiss cheese as far as security is concerned. I tell Firefox to not allow Flash to play.

Good idea, thanks.
Can it be disabled in ie as well, or do I have to uninstall it?

I don't know what livejasmin is is, so no, I still don't need Flash.

Bikezilla, I can't remember if Flash can be found in the Add-In manager of I.E. You can certainly uninstall it from Control Panel.
