Netscape freezing (again)

Postby CoolHandDuke » Sun 18 Feb, 2007 2:12 pm

I know that a lot of people have been complaining about this issue, but mine is a little odd. I'm running Netscape 8.1.2.0 and have been since it came out with no problems. Until this week. It seems to freeze every time I load a page or when I shift between tabs. It will stay frozen for about a minute straight then come back fully loaded. It happens whether I'm in Firefox or IE mode and with no particular sites. The obvious answer is to change browsers but Netscape fits me like a glove. Any ideas?

You are not alone. I am suffering from the same problem. Netscape will launch fine, but after one or two actions, it will freeze for a minute or so. Often I toggle to another program and by the time I toggle back, the browser is completely loaded to where I had originally requested. This is driving my fiancee and I absolutely nuts, especially since everything was working just fine a week ago. Please Help!!!! :?

Since your User Agent says your using Opera, use Opera or use Seamonkey. It's like the Mozilla Suite and Netscape 6/7, but it's being updated.

I would, and may use opera. But my whole life is on Netscape. Passwords, auto fills, the works. Also for some reason my bookmarks won't transfer over. I'm just trying to avoid using a different browser because i'm an ocd creep who's used to netscape.
