i'm having another computer crisis, this time with software, a web browser to be exact.

Firefox....

I first noticed the problem on my pc, thought it was windows being windows and locking up.......
then... the exact same thing happened on my mac, only when firefox has been running for some time

I've ruled out hardware as it happens on my mac too.

anyone else have this problem?

:)

Regards

Emily
 
I've had a few problems recently with the Firefox Flash plug-in crashing and stopping the page from doing anything, but all that needs is to refresh the page and it generally works OK. Hopefully your problem is as easy to solve!

unfortunately no, when it locks up on the PC the mouse and keyboard stop responding, so I have to do a soft reset by holding the power button.

when it crashes on the mac, the mouse pointer disappears completely and I have to do a soft reset by holding the power button

unfortunately firefox is horribly sluggish and bloated at the moment no matter what OS youre running.

victim of its own sucess im afraid.
