    Firefox latest update keeps stalling and stuttering and 'not responding' and occasionally i will get 'a script on this page has stopped working.' Is anyone else having issues??

    Yes.....only solution is to x out and restart.

    For me, restarting is not a solution, the same crap happens again. I came back today to find an error message on the desktop saying the object could not be located and the crash report could not be sent. It had totally crashed on me. I am just going to use another browser for now, I just wondered if I was alone with this problem. Obviously not. :)

    Firefox Constantly Crashes

    For over a month, Firefox has been randomly crashing. I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 yesterday, and the same thing is happening.

    I've attached a screenshot of the crash report.

    No problems here. I am using latest Final, 41.0.1 auto updated and is about a month old. Just checked MG "browsers" list and noticed beta 6 on the list as of yesterday. If you have the beta or older than 41.0.1, it could be source of issues.
    In the FF menu Help/Troubleshooting Information is a "support website" link with several topics. "Fix slowness, crashing, ... etc" has several things to try, which may help you clean things up.

    No problem. Hopefully you figure it out as I know that has to be a pain. To answer your other question, I'm not having any issues with my FF.

    Trying to use facebook for my local nature photography group is nigh on impossible. Seems to behave itself when I'm on Majorgeeks. I've not tried no add ons yet.

    OK so i'm hearing from people on my group that they are having troubles too in IE also. Guess this was a facebook thing after all. :/ Seems to be running nicer again now :)

    Mine crashed. I sent a report. It restarted and no issues so far. Fingers crossed. ;)

    Using facebook on Firefox with no add ons is the same as normal mode. ROUGH. :(
