How Come Firefox Stalls Out??

hey im back again, but i think i got a new problem, i dont know if its malware or not. but whenever im surfing the net just my pc, ( not everyone else's, we have 4 pcs hooked up to the wifi) stalls out for 2-3 seconds and then starts again. like if im typing something i can continue to type but it wont show and then it'll all come up like all at once and then be fine for another minute or so. does anyone know what this is?? ive done scans and all...should i renew my winsock?

yeah i kno about that site but i dont like registering on the forum for just one question. to me it floods theire servers and what not. so ill ju hang out on here and see if anyone can answer me

 

What version of FF are ye using? What extensions are installed...

 

im running the most recent version of FF. and the extensions i have installed is jus google send to phone, which i have had installed forever. i dont know what this could be....

 

they allow guest posting.

 

Most recent? As in 1.5.0.6? Or the beta build/nightly build?

 

A couple questions come to mind.

Have you installed a lot of fonts in the past?

When exactly did this issue come about? What program did you install, that caused FF to stall like this?

 

1.5.0.6. and no i dont know one day it started to act funny. should i dlete firefox and reload it? is there anyway i can save my bbookmarks and all?

 

Okay, I did a quick test on my machine. Though, I figured I knew the answer anyway.

Yes, uninstalling and re-installing FF will keep your bookmarks and whatnot.

In addition you didn't use any FF tweaks for "increasing performance" of firefox? Most of them are a complete Farce. at least for me.

 

ok so i reinstalled it, and its still doing the same thing... anyone hace anything else to reccommend?

 

i suspect that it is your wifi connection, not very stable is it?

umm, yeah the connection is fine. all the other computers are fine. its just mine. and mine is direct connected to it. ( via cat6 ) ima check out that link greenknight thanks

 

ok i did that mozilla link. and it worked well the only part that worked was the part where i had to change my profile. so maybe i had a bug or something i dont know.. weird. and i also changed my mozilla page file memory or something.. thanks guys.

 

Yep, sometimes a new Firefox profile is the only thing that will help. Glad to hear that worked, and you're welcome.
