Firefox Freezes a lot....

I don't know if its the Core Duo Processor or the fact that I am only running 512MB of RAM but I'm getting REALLY sick of Firefox freezing up and showing the pinwheel and just sitting there while I force quit the program and restart it....I'm NOT gonna use Safari I hate it and Opera doesn't work well on certain sites so I'm just wonderin if anyone has similar problems?

its due to ur 512 ram
firefox uses alot of memory
also firefox is known to lockup anyway
use safari 3

i had problems with firefox on a few sites including Myspace. it would crash. it would not freeze, but would just stop working, like if you went to click a link, it would not do anything. i tried opera and it worked ok, i did really like the concepts though, and camino had the same problem as fire fox. all in all, i am back to using safari and have grown to like it. just give it a little time.

also, i have 2gb of ram and firefox still messes up all the time. i dont ever use it anymore. like was already said, just use safari.

I'd love to use safari 3 but it makes Windows Messenger Crash!

Can't you just use Safari 2 or aMSN instead of Messenger?

IS there anyway to save passwords and log in names in Safari 3? I like it better but I am not willing to give up that luxury. Autofill does not work on everything firefox works on.

Exactly what sites are not saving logon info and passwords that FireFox works with? I have NO PROBLEM at all with Safari and have everything saved in the keychain. I log into many sites like that daily and never a problem except my Bank that NO BROWER on either the Windows or OSX will save on for security reasons.

hmmmm aMSN never heard of it....is it better than messenger for mac?

My firefox does that all the time aswell and its the most annoying thing. Ive noticed that it especially does it with MySpace, click a link and it doesnt do anything and i need to force quit, and also with a couple of forums i am on.

ditto!

i HATE safari....but im starting to hate freezing of firefox more....bah! ill never be happy

FF is becoming less and less stable for me with each update. I'm currently using Camino, but I don't like it much so I'll give Opera another try. Usable browsers are getting thin on the ground!
