Ive had same problems a few weeks back i just un-installed firefox rebooted computer then re-installed firefox since then no problems

Ooer! Was going to say I'm not sure if I can do that but I spose I've got nothing to lose really - as FF isn't working now!

Ive completely given up on Firefox now, problem after problem, now using Chrome, big improvement

Well I've done it, incredibly easy! Only thing is, I forgot the bit about rebooting before re-installing! But I'll see how it goes, if necessary I can always do it again.

Or maybe change to Chrome - got Chrome on the laptop and can't actuially tell the difference in operation.

I use chrome and everything. Phone tablet and laptop it links all my favourites across all devices etc.

Clever stuff and a huuuge improvement over ie

FF seems to be wrking fine now - and much quicker than before!

But it won't keep me logged in on any of my forums!!! Clearly a setting I need to change somewhere - but which one where?

That's usually a little box you tick when you actually log in to the forum

No I always have them ticked! It was connected with my history settings I think - well I know cos I changed something there and it's ok now!

Anything is an improvement over IE. At least Microsoft have done the decent thing now and announced that older versions will no longer be supported past the end of next year.

I know large companies who still insist on standardising on IE 6 ffs

I'm starting to wonder if the problem lies with my computer rather than the browser. The plug-in crashing problem is back, along with another one I didn't mention before - sometimes when I have a 2nd or 3rd tab open, the cursor keeps flashing for no apparent reason.

I have this too but only since upgrading to the latest version.

Happeningto others on the 'Net too:

"Restarting in safe mode and reinstalling firefox did not help. "

I went to 'internet options' and told FF to 'remember history' - keeps me logged in now.

I am currently beta testing the new Mac OS - Yosemite

As a part of that, I have been playing with new safari

Unusually for such a niche market, I feel that the new safari will be a popular option for folk - not just apple users
