I've decided to get rid of Firefox after all the problems i've been having with it. After spending around 12 hours scanning & trying to find the problem i've still had no luck.
In the past i've had problems with it crashing or pages freezing. Does anybody else use it & if so have you had any problems with it?
I'm gonna try out Google Chrome instead.
Also a big thanks to you all that tried to help me out with the problem. It's one of the great things about this site & it's members. Everybody is willing to help each other out so thanks again.

The scans picked up a few little hidden things but didn't solve my problem.
Using Google Chrome at the moment & i can't believe how fast it is. Very impressed so far.

I use Internet Explorer with the IE7pro add-on. I used Chrome for a bit but the ads where annoying so I switched back to IE. Never understood why people people hate IE, I've never once had a problem with it.

few years ago, it was filled with security holes (theres still a few), since IE is part of the OS, it makes it particularly dangerous. To the point where internet security companies recommended their customers to change their browser untill the security holes are fixed. It also was without any "essential" features up untill a while back (e.g. tabbed browsing). Now with the new IE7 and IE8, i dont know. But an attack to it still much more hazardous then to any other browser.
Opera out of the box is very fast and very secure. It has mouse gestures (once you get the hang of it, you cant live without it), RSS, email and what not. It also has fully customizable interface. Its main point is having everything you need in an easy to use interface. Where as e.g. Firefox's true potiential only comes when you start adding thrid party plugins, tweaking it and whatnot. Chrome is a stripped down simple browser that doesnt really have many features (AFAIK), but if you dont need em, then its a good choice. Personally the Chromes EULA when it was released (has now been changed) was something that i wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot stick.

I'm now a tru Firefox person
i never wanted to try another browser, but i was convinced to use it and would never go back to IE. it uses less ram and it rarely freezes on me. IE was giving me all sorts of problems and i have yet to get the update for it, mainly because i never want to go back

Seen the film loads of times, bit crap but I still end up watching it when it comes on TV. Not one of Clint Eastwood's best but enjoyable all the same.
Really enjoyed the 80's arcade game too!
