    Am I the only one who is having freezing/crashing problems with Firefox in the last week?

    Daily it will freeze up bad and when I can finally close it out mu puter is essentially useless and I have to reboot, which is rather lengthy after this occurs. Normal booting time is very fast.

    My computer has been running great, especially so since I ran Windows Repair. Reference these two threads if interested: https://forums.majorgeeks.com/threads/windows-repair-3-9-36.316838/ and https://forums.majorgeeks.com/threads/driver-booster-bluetooth-4-0.316912/

    Did Firefox update or something? Perhaps I should just use another browser?

    Works well with Win 8.1?

    How the transition from FF to PM? I use LastPass, ZoomPage, et cetera...

    All I know is it is faster and not prone to crashing like FF.

    Hi

    I'd as plodr mentions look at any add-ons to Firefox you use as it is normally really good (I use Firefox but Nightly test version) and should be a new release of Firefox biased off Nightly in next week or so. I would uninstall and re-install Firefox current release, install NO add-ons and then run in its safe mode if still causing issues.
