Not only does Firefox act bad, it has caused my puter to be extremely slow, and now I am also getting a message saying that Virtual Memory is low. What is going on? dierichards@hotmail.com

Firefox crashes and freezes within minutes of being turned on. Sometimes it won't start up for 5 minutes or more. See previous question entered/

See:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
