[QUOTE="David147, post: 685473, member: 7587"] Hi, Whenever I access Myspace using Firefox the internet goes down for a couple minutes. When I use any other browser (Safari, Opera etc) I have no problems and when I log into my Dad's profile (on the same Mac) he doesn't have this problem either. Myspace isn't the only site that does this (it also goes off at seemingly random moments) but it's the most obvious. I find it very peculiar that it ONLY happens in my profile, especially as we all share the same copy of Firefox in the applications folder. I've tried uninstalling/reinistalling Firefox but the same problem. I've even tried scanning for viruses (!) but nothing came up. Also, whenever I load Safari it takes about a minute to open whereas on my Dad's profile it's much quicker. Any ideas about either of these problems because this is extremely annoying? Many thanks for any advice. I guess this is just one more reason to get my own Macbook :Sleeping: [/QUOTE]
