Question FireFox freeze up

For a while now I have had FF freeze on me now and again completely. All I can do is shut down the computer with the 'on' button. I cannot even use control/alt/delete. I have only just found the reason, and that is one site. This one would you believe. I have been over it time and again, and the only site I get problems with is this one.

Right now I have gone to IE7 to put this in. Is there a problem with Visualizer and FF? Because this is one of my favourite site, and FF is my favourite brower.

Has anyone got a clue about this?

Have to say Steve that Firefox was always the browser I used on Windows and occasionally on the iMac (Safari is my preferred browser now even though there are a few formatting issues). I never had any problems with Firefox locking up anywhere but I do read IT forums on our works intranet and there have been quite a few issues recently on later versions of Firefox.

A lot of people have been complaining of it locking up and losing favourites, something I never experienced. Have you downloaded an update or a plugin recently that might not be working properly? It appears., from what I have read, that it isn't a real problem with Firefox but for some reason updates do not work properly. It may be worth downloading the latest version, un-installing the old version and re-installing the new one rather than updating 'over the top' of the current one.

It is odd that it only plays up on VIG but from past postings, I know that Darren is very dedicated to meeting browser standards. Sadly we are entering a time when browsers are going it alone, Internet Explorer by Microsoft never respected the W3 standards.

Hope you get it resolved mate.

Is it locking up when you first start it (do you have Visualizer as your home url?)....

I am also wondering if you have an active X plug in that is malfunctioning (like flash) that needs to be reinstalled or updated.

I had this similar issue with another site, but only because I needed to update my active x plugins. It's a plug in issue I believe, one way or another.

Default Freeze up

Well I keep on installing the latest edititions of FF, and no I do not have Viz as my home page. However, I have found the way around and that is simply to use IE when I come here. Uninstalling and reinstalling just for one site does not see worth the bother so I will just use old IE for now anyway. When FF 3 comes in fully I will uninstall FF and reinstall that.
