I am having the same problems.

Firefox is quite slow to load and view pages with and I keep getting the "Firefox is not responding" message.

I have the latest version, plus the latest Adobe Flash Player, Shockwave Player, etc.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;

Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?


If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
