Mac G4, OS10.3.9
Firefox/2.0.0.13
Updated Flash
I can't stay on this site more than 3-5 minutes without Firefox freezing. Doesn't matter if I am moving fast through posts or doing nothing.
No other forum site does this. It started 2-4 weeks ago.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bruce

In the interest of research, I forced myself to spend an hour on the site using Explorer.  No freezes. Bruce

Yeah, I don't get it. I can't replicate it either on my desktop or laptop ...

I have had a very occasional freeze when attempting to access certain threads. It hasn't happened in over a week now though, and it certainly wasn't happening with any regularity. I use Safari. I use a Mac 1.42 PowerPC G4 512 MB OS 10.4.11 I also use Explorer on a Dell at another location with no significant issues. I haven't had issues either with Firefox on other Macs. There must be some incompatibility problem. I would imagine the right upgrade will correct it. I'm not quite "techy" enough to make a guess what that would be though. I wish things didn't always seem to need to be "progressed" in order to work properly. However, I do appreciate color monitors and I didn't always think they were necessary.

I have been having the same problem with my browser, Safari (ironic isn't it) - started happening a week or two ago - have done all my updates etc but still happening.
I just keep forcing the browser to quit and then starting it up again...

No problems with explorer---ever.
Firefox blows, eventually everyone figures that out. In the mean time, the closet geek squad wannabees go around saying it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Cracks me up.

I've had simular problems with other sites locking up recently and I'm using Exploder. I did several scans and deletions of tracking cookies and found one little pesky bugger in my e-mail folder. Got rid of it and things are back to normal. YMMV. This guy was only found by Norton AV: cookie:owner  ad.yieldmanger.com/

It's been happening to me too. Seems to have started right after Firefox updated itself.

It just froze on me again as I was looking at hound girl's latest family member.

I'm wondering if any of you are having it freeze while typing in the text box.
On my laptop (Dell Win XP, Firefox latest) about every ten times I post, all of a sudden the cursor will fall behind my typing, and I don't type that fast. This happened on both Firefox and Explorer.
Then firefox freezes and even ctrl-alt-del wond allow me to get out, I have to hard re-boot.
Tonight I am on my old desktop PentIII Win 2000, and it has happened twice on this machine too, but the lock up isn't as sever, it allows me to end task, and then fire up again without re-booting.
It happened twice as I have been typing this out.
Doesn't happen with any other programs or web pages.
Hope that helps.

Right now, it appears to be a known compatibility issue with the latest two versions of Firefox and Flash. Updating to the latest version of Flash will help. The last 2-3 versions of Firefox are known to have hangup issues, and lots of folks are losing sleep. Also, if you have Spybot Search and Destroy installed, it and Firefox are not getting along. Fixing that incompatibility (see link below) fixed my Firefox freeze-up issues. Finally, as much as I love Firefox, look at this link: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_loading_websitesFirefox is real hitchy right now.
