Mozilla Freezing Issue!

Fire · 05-31-2007, 01:10 PM

I got a lot of lock-ups and freezes with Mozilla on Vista. On my previous PC, XP was awesome. My computer usually freezes on "engadgetmobile.com" and "boygeniusreport.com" Is it just Vista or is there a fix through Mozilla or Microsoft? I believe my system patches itself so MS doesn't seem like the solution, but I could be wrong... HELP!

It is most likely a problem with vista not liking Mozilla, windows isn't going to fix it you will have to wait for Mozilla to fix it or it is just a problem with the coding on those 2 sites and the OS/browser I wouldn't worry to much it will get fixed. Anyway sorry couldn't be much help Firefox works great on my xp system. Don't sweat it or us a dual boot config and use xp for all your browsing if you can't live without those sites. Anyway if I hear anything on it I will give you a heads up.

That's what I would like to do is have the dual boot thing.... XP is fun to use, but compatibility, I see, is going to be an issue right now.

it wouldn't surprise me in the least if microsoft intentionally did this. they want you to use IE, not an open source browser. just give it a bit and mozilla will work around it.

I wouldn't be surprised myself. Microsoft are a bunch of scum bags... wish I would be just like them :-)

Well it is my understanding that windows will not be giving out code for there OS to anti-virus companies. I have heard a nasty little rumor that they include anti-virus software with vista and no manufacturers of 3 party anti-virus software will have the chance to develop anti-virus software for it. I hope this is a rumor and not truth or I fear what will happen to all the PC's out there as far as viruses are concerned. anyway I am sure it has something to do with Microsoft trying to make a totally Microsoft dependent OS these are rumors I have heard. I dread the day that I have to depend on bill gates and all his monkey's to protect me and my PC's from hackers. I won't be going to Vista until I have confirmed or disproved these rumors. I just really don't trust MS to protect my machine with all the current Issues with vista at this point.

I just need someone to help me have a dual OS setup. I started using Safari 3.0 and it also freezes at times. MS = Satan. I see they purposely made their OS that way. If Safari didn't freeze, than I would think it was a Mozilla issue.
