Freezes With FF 12 & 13

Postby geffr » Fri 15 Jun, 2012 9:38 pm

I've been getting semi frequent freezes of 30 seconds or so with both 12 & 13. Seems to be on pages that are running scripts. It's quite irritating. XP SP3 Quad Core Intel PC.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

You are awfully vague. Can you give a link, especially if the freezes reoccur with the same page. I have not experienced any.

It isn't any specific page. It does seem to be triggered by scripts, but I'm not 100% certain of that.

If there is a script issue, I get a popup warning. Then, I can ignore the issue or not. If this happens again, I will take a closer look.

I did scans with 3 anti spyware programs last night & I THINK the problem was caused by remnants of The "Babylon Toolbar". I apparently picked it up as a tag along with a legal legit video conversion program. It never fully installed (likely due to No Script; the actual toolbar never was visible) & I thought I had removed it a couple weeks ago, but Spybot found 40 remnants of it last night. Since I removed those, SO FAR there have been no farther freezes.

You might want to consider re-installing it then letting Revo Uninstaller take care of uninstalling it since Revo will find ALL of the hidden files and remove them.

Thanks, James will keep that in mind if the problem returns. So far, so good.
