ever since the latest FF update, it's been freezing up and crashing a lot (it actually froze as I was writing this so I had to open up IE). this began today or last night and didn't used to happen before. and whenever I reopen FF after a freeze, the tab that says you've just been updated ALWAYS pops up which is weird. anyone else having issues? also, anyway I can go back to the previous version until the issue, if there is an issue, gets fixed (I hate using IE now since all my bookmarks are in FF)

Yes, you can revert to a previous version. Look at the following link for instructions about how to do that...

Installing a previous version of Firefox

You could use the link posted above to go back to a previous version or you could post your problem in the FF forum to see if there is any help available. I use FF and haven't had any problems since the last update. Good luck to you!

almost forgot I created this thread! I checked out the FF support forum and there does seem to be some issues w/ the new update w/ some users and I saw a few threads regarding the freezing. strangely enough, FF is no longer freezing up and seems to be okay. when I first started this thread, I had to do CTRL+ALT+DEL nearly 5 times in 15 minutes. could be a glitch on my end (or a similar glitch w/ several people but not the majority)

It's frozen on me a few times in the past few days, but always when loading a government java applet. I'm blaming the applet.

Seems very slow to recover when I have one game open and minimize the game, still have problems with videos where the the video freezes every 20 or 30 seconds. That issue appeared about 3 or 4 updates ago.
